The best experience!
Pros:

This was an unforgettable weekend experience thanks to an amazing hotel staff that made us feel special throughout the stay. We were welcomed by a very friendly reception employee that explained all available amenities at the hotel. Food quality was excellent. And last but not least the immaculately clean rooms that makes it a truly 5 star experience. I would definitely recommend this place and I can’t wait to visit again!!!

Exceptional hotel
Pros:

I never wrote reviews and I rarely go to hotels that exceed my expectations- but this did. The environment, style, comfort and quality was fabulous - and the breakfasts are unique and really exceptional!

Not very good
Pros:

This wasn’t horrible but overall this was not worth it. Some key things
- the sheets and linen are cheap polyester which for a cold and dry place don’t feel good on your skin
- the thermostat was broken and took multiple conversations with the front desk to fix
- no turn down service/ didn’t replace towels
- feels run down. Thee carpets look dirty

I should have trusted Reddit over ChatGPT and got a different hotel

Delighted with everything for a special Birthday treat
Pros:

Brilliant weekend for my husband's birthday. Room | very big, quiet, incredibly comfortable bed, lovely view (Room #728), small balcony but not used as freezing temperature that weekend. Breakfast | legendary! Bar | imaginative (album covers as artwork and vinyl LP's you can play), varied mocktails for me as non-drinker. Spa | sumptuous, gorgeous pool, steam room & sauna. Lighting throughout the entire hotel gave a tranquil calm feel. Tying it all together...the amazing team working there..professionalism exemplified. Worth the cost.

Great stay
Pros:

In fact, it is one of the most beautiful and pleasant hotels in Oslo, Norway. I really liked how easy the check-in process was, as well as the cleanliness of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff. The hotel is located in a very beautiful and very safe area, and the breakfast is very diverse with excellent, high-quality service. The room’s view overlooking the lake is absolutely beautiful. Honestly, everything about the hotel is wonderful in every aspect. I liked it very much, and the rooms are lovely, although they are somewhat small; however, this is generally the standard in Europe. Overall, the hotel is good and clean, and I highly recommend staying there.

Cons:

There is no private parking owned by the hotel itself, even though it is a five-star property. However, the hotel cooperates with a parking facility located underneath the building, on the lower levels, but the cost is very high — approximately 550 Norwegian kroner per day. In my opinion, it would have been better if the hotel offered at least a discount for guests who have cars and use the parking regularly. From a personal point of view, five-star hotels are expected to provide the highest level of care for their guests, and paying around 550 NOK per day for parking is simply too expensive.

The second issue is that there is no luggage porter service, as is usually available in some other five-star hotels.

The third point, which really bothered me, is that the hotel charged 95 Norwegian kroner to my Visa card. When I contacted them to question this charge, they said it was taken by mistake for a toothpaste fee and that it had been refunded. However, until now, nothing has been returned to my account. This issue was very upsetting, and I hope they will refund the 95 NOK as soon as possible.
