Clarion Hotel® Oslo

A nice and clean hotel in the upper range. Friendly staff, nice location, close to all things. Big and lavish breakfast buffet, you won't want for anything. Omelet bar is particularly nice. I had a room against the streets and could hear the tram during the night from time to time. Overall, a good experience.

I stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed my stay very much. It's about a 5-min walk from the Oslo Central Station (the station is big; luckily the hotel is on the side close to the platforms for Flytoget - the Airport Express train). The bedroom and bathroom areas were very spacious. The bed was very comfortable. Friendly staff. The breakfast was the BEST part of the entire stay! (SO IMPRESSIVE).

It's a very good "business" hotel. No personal touches but clean and well run. The breakfast is insane. The biggest range of food and drink I've seen on offer anywhere. A god-like banquet. Everything you could ever possibly imagine and more. The rooms are clean and spacious. The reception staff were very hit and miss. We were greeted by a new but friendly young lady who helped us when a room card didn't work and was happy to give us directions to local museums. There was also another man who was very nice. One however was awful. On my dad's birthday we wanted to have a drink in the hotel bar, which was randomly closed. We were very patronisingly and snippily told "There are other bars in Oslo". Yes, we knew that. We wanted to just have a nice drink at our hotel after dinner before bed on my dad's birthday. I also asked for a bookshop, and was told my English (extremely clear and native) was completely indecipherable. I tried in other languages but those attempts were rebuffed. I was, once again, brusquely and patronisingly dealt with. We then always waited until a different person was on reception if we had a question after that. A bitter taste to an otherwise lovely stay.

We have been on a 3 and a half weeks journey leading us to family we have never met in Kragerø. With the help of our amazing friend Susan W. at Expedia cruise in Red Deer, who helped us book such a tricky and lengthy trip. Once we arrived in Oslo we were able to find our hotel so conveniently located by the central train station. What a gorgeous site as we arrive in early evening. We were met by front staff Anna Maria. I can not say enough about her “entre gens” She was simply put superb. We mistakenly had a suite with double beds. She immediately was on it and was able to give us a queen. We lucked out and got room 351. WOW! The view is stunning. We were tired and headed to the restaurant in lobby “Fishery”. It was my Birthday after all. Kim was welcoming, informative and we really actually felt like we had known her forever. Our food was exquisite. Wine selection was beautiful. Our room was immaculate as the rest of the hotel. We have one more night and already look forward to our next trip. Thank you

Hello - I am following up in regards to the issues that I had at your property. Please see below - I have yet to hear back from you.  Also I want to note that at checkout we were told to leave our bags in a room if we wanted to drop our bags off after checkout.  No one would be taking the bags, or giving slips to retrieve the bags, which means anyone could walk out of the hotel with your bag.  I have stayed at many properties and even one and two star hotels give you bag tags so someone will not steal your bag or walk out with it on accident. Please get back to me on what you can do for the above issues I have brought to your attention.
