Hotel Christiania Teater

Location is great, the extra large center courtyard ( no view) room was comfortable and clean. The disappointment was the excessive noise level in the evenings. Both nights of our stay the loud base sounds of music were heard through the walls. A big turn off for a better rating.

Good breakfast in a comfortable room. Easy to find the food we were looking for.

Hotel was nicely designed, theme and cleanliness.
Breakfast was good.

Location was excellent. Room was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good.

This is a 'marmite' hotel (UK expression). You are going to love it or hate it and not want to stay here again.

Good things - location, excellent breakfasts with huge varied range of food including for glutenfree, quirky theatrical decor and art, good sized bedroom and comfortable bed.

So all the above should be good enough but here is why we won't stay here again if we come to Oslo:

I asked the hotel if they could arrange a taxi to pick us up at the pier as we arrived on a cruise boat. For some reason this simple request dragged on for days. I would get answers from different people who had not read the earlier correspondence. I had to keep repeating myself in my emails. The reason for this is because there are so many different people on reception every day. We hardly saw the same person twice during the four days we were at the hotel. So the handover is not as good as it needs to be.

When we arrived the receptionist said the hotel was full. There are more than 100 rooms apparently and there was no one to help with baggage. We are seniors with two large cases because of the cruise and there was no one to help us negotiate 5 steps to a corridor on the fifth floor where our room was. There is another complicated way to reach the room when you are not able to carry 23 kg baggage up and down steps but the receptionist did not share that info and we only discovered it when a helpful passing cleaner told us.

We made a mistake when trying to close the safe and it doesn't reset. You have to ask for help from the maintenance man. Another receptionist was working that evening and was too busy to answer our phone calls. By the time we went downstairs to ask for her help, the maintenace man had gone home. In any event the safe is not attached to the wall in the room which means its not that secure.

The next night we came back to the hotel around 7.30 and there was no one on reception. The hotel has a pizza restaurant which is open to the public and with so many different receptionists, the hotel didn't generally feel very secure - if that is important to you.

I had requested a quiet room on my original booking form and again in correspondence. We arrived on a Saturday and there was loud music in the evening. I asked the receptionist how long it would last and she said it would end at 10. It did - for an hour - and then carried on until about 4 am. The drummer was probably very good but was very very loud and I had requested a quiet room and lost a night's sleep.

We asked if we could have a late check out because we had a late flight. The hotel offered us two hours - from 11 to 1 at a price of 20 NK. (We didn't take up the offer).

When we left we asked the hotel to book us a taxi to the airport which they did. They said the airport was 35 - 40 minutes away. But this didn't allow for the rush hour and it actually took us an hour and 15 minutes to get there. Luckily we had allowed plenty of time but not every can do that.

The receptionists - there were so many - but for the most part only one on the reception desk at a time - were generally trying to be helpful but we did not find them experienced or well-trained.

Each of the mattes listed above are only tiny things. But there were too many of them and for that reason we would not recommend this hotel to anyone we know.

Great location, very good breakfast and comfortable spacious room

Hotel in posizione centrale. Ha un fascino particolare grazie all'antico teatro che era in questa location. La colazione e' stata eccellente, con varie proposte (dolce e salato) interessanti e in quantita' piu' che adeguate. Il personale di sala e' gentile e disponibile. C'e' anche la possibilità di prendere una bevanda calda o dell'acqua fresca a self service a qualsiasi ora nei pressi della reception.
Visitare Oslo avendo come punto di riferimento questo hotel e' estremamente consigliato.

Tá najlepšia lokalita v centre mesta, v blízkosti mnohých pamiatok a miest hodných navštívenia, bohaté a chutné raňajky, štýlové a vkusné zariadenia hotela.

L’emplacement, le petit déjeuner et la gentillesse du personnel.

Fint rom, god frokost,

Charming and fun space with a lovely cheerful staff and an excellent breakfast and super location to walk to all of the highlights

Location, tasty breakfast but not much to choose from if staying longer than 2 nights.

Fantastic hotel. Location perfect and very friendly staff. Great rooms, and excellent design.

Room was well decorated and bed super comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Breakfast each day was delicious and everything freshly provided. Hotel is in a perfect location. They still have the original lift, so be prepared to use the stays or have some long waits!

This beautiful little boutique hotel in the heart of Oslo is a wonderful place to stay and enjoy the city. It’s close to everything and looks out over a beautiful park and it close to the station and all the main attractions in Oslo. We enjoyed our stay very much and the desk clerks Alisa and Sunniva we’re very helpful and professional. The manager greeted our group and was kind enough to provide me with the diet soda after arriving at the hotel. We are enjoyed our stay very much and the rooms are as beautiful as the hotel itself. I would recommend this establishment to anyone who would like to enjoy and see all that also has to offer.
