Clarion Hotel® The Hub

English: I had a very positive experience when I arrived at the hotel. Was going to spend the Christmas holidays in Oslo and had booked into this hotel. Got a nice reception when I arrived at the hotel and was impressed with the great reception area. When I opened the door to room 1221, the next positive surprise came. The room was very stylish and delicately decorated, it was a wonderful feeling and the shoulders lowered many notches. Here everything was ready for a mega comfortable Christmas stay. The bed was very good, the bathroom delicate and the heat in the floor was perfect. After a long day, it was simply wonderful to crawl into the good bed and I slept like a rock. The next day it was up early and came down to a delicious breakfast buffet and could enjoy the sight of all the great food that was on display. I wish I had the stomach to be able to eat much more, but what I ate was great. In addition, I would also like to mention that it is very central in relation to public transport and a short way to Oslo's best shopping and restaurant areas. So summed up, absolutely top hotel and can be highly recommended.

I stayed at clarion the hub recently for a very small business gathering. The staff where so positive and sweet, even trough their masks. The hotell was clean, with amazing design and clean, fresh food. My second favorite thing after the staff was the breakfast. I have to take mye family back there and will recommend to others.

First of all - the location is great. Very central and close to "everything", including the train station and other public transportation. The superior room was a bit mediocre for the price level. This includes the bathroom. The bed was comfy though. The room itself and the bathroom were clean, except under the bed, which had dust, a hairband and some papers under it. The breakfast was nice, nothing more. Again – coming up a bit short for the price level of the hotel. Due to the pandemic, the pool area was closed. Anyway – other reviewers don’t seem to like it a lot. The common areas and reception were beautiful and the staff was very friendly. Check-in was quick. All in all, I would not recommend the hotel, except if you get a really good deal. There are plenty of other options in this price range.

Hotel lost my baggage, not only once, but twice on two separate occasions. (As a frequent traveler I have stayed at that hotel quite often) After the second time, the hotel refused to reimburse me for my losses despite having agreed storage arrangements with the reception. I would recommend to stay clear as their business practice is rather shady.

Excellent location, recently refurbished in a modern Scandinavian style. Friendly staff and certainly felt COVID-friendly. Felt safe. Pros: large TV so you can really relax in your room. Pleasant and very clean room and bathroom. Pleasant breakfast. Iron and ironing board in the room. Cons: High cost per room. Cheap Nespresso-style coffee only in room and exceptionally high prices in mini-bar. No table in standard room except the narrow desk. No shoe shine, shower-cap etc. Space-efficient wardrobe - awkward when hanging a couple of wet coats to dry... Tip: if you fancy a beer or wine, go to one of the two Vinmonopolet shops within 3 mins walk and buy a high quality full size bottle of wine there for the less than the price of the cheap mini-bottles of mass produced yuck on offer in your room. Will happily return here. Overall impression: tries hard to be world class and makes a good effort.
