Important information:

The Norwegian America Line’s venerable headquarters opened their doors in 1919. With an old building comes responsibility with maintenance and rehabilitation, that is why we are now doing rehabilitation on our roof and facade. The rehabilitation will continue until July 2023, and there might be some noise during the daytime. All outlets and services are still open as normal. We apologize for any inconveniences.
A deposit may be required at the property.

Pros:

The room was perfect, location is ideal for train access but very loud.

Cons:

I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel, especially considering the amount of money I spent. My room was placed directly adjacent to an active construction zone, and there was constant noise throughout my stay. It was never peaceful or quiet, which made it very difficult to relax or enjoy the experience I had paid for.
To make matters worse, I woke up in the morning to a large construction crane directly outside my window. This was not disclosed at the time of booking, and had I known the hotel was undergoing major construction so close to guest rooms, I would have chosen to stay elsewhere.
For a property charging premium rates, I expected transparency, consideration for guests, and at the very least accommodations away from the construction activity. The entire experience felt disruptive and far below the standard advertised.
I sincerely hope management improves communication with future guests and reevaluates placing guests in rooms impacted by heavy construction noise.

Update the hotel responded immediately and refunded some of the cost for the disappointing experience.

Excellent Stay in a Great Location!
Pros:

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at Amerikalinjen. We had a flight delay so got in later than expected and also didn't receive our luggage. The staff at reception went above and beyond helping us find stores that were open early the next morning so that we could get some of the necessities, and even called up to our room with other ideas that they thought of after we checked in. The location was fabulous. Steps away from central station, and an easy walking distance to the Opera House and Munch Museum. The rooms were very clean, and we also received an upgrade to a slightly larger room type. The breakfast in the morning was a very nice spread. We did Norway in a Nutshell and used a porter service to take our luggage on (it did finally show up!) to Bergen, and the staff was so helpful in that process.

Great experience at the Amerikalinjen Hotel!
Pros:

We had such an amazing time at this hotel. What is key to note is the location! You can catch a train almost anywhere in Oslo outside your front door. The opera house and museums are within walking distance. The staff went above and beyond to make this a great experience for us. We traveled around Norway for two weeks and this was the best breakfast that we had. Overall just a wonderful experience!

Great hotel in the centre of everything
Pros:

Our room was cosy, but perfectly fine, breakfast is great and has everything. Hotel is located near railways station and all the trams and buses you could possibly need. All the staff are excellent. There is some building work going on at the back of the hotel which generally starts at about 8am - but it;s a great alarm clock!

Great hotel and great location
Pros:

We stayed here only two nights. We really liked everything about the hotel. Bathroom (shower) and bed linens were great - the most important things at a hotel in my opinion.

Stuffy, small room, and no AC
Pros:

Although Trip Advisor says that this hotel has AC, it does not. The room is so small that we can’t put the second bag in the floor and there’s no dresser. It’s stuffy and overlooks a city square, which is noisy and at least since we arrived an hour ago is the place of very loud and non-stop Christian music. So, we now have the choice of opening the window for some air or to listen to loud incessant noise. Not looking forward to tonight, especially if it rains so we need to close the window.

A stylish hotel. Very relaxing!
Pros:

The building is beautiful and I think the breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts we have had. The staff were charming but natural and very helpful.

Cons:

It was a shame that we were unable to try the restaurants- due to a strike of hotel workers. It was a little noisy, with the building site behind.

We had a wonderful six night stay.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent with superb choice.

Cons:

Storage / wardrobe space could have been better, had to use wall mounted coat hooks as wardrobe was too small.
