Still a great place to stay.
Pros:

Good room with a fabulous view. Great check-in experience.

Cons:

Breakfast was in a temporary room with no natural light, but the choices were reduced and the coffee ran out both mornings. I also felt hounded to leave at 10am.

Elegant Hotel Let Down by Room 316 and Service Issues
Pros:

Hotel Bristol in Oslo certainly has an elegant charm and an outstanding breakfast served on fine porcelain with real silverware, but our stay was marred by notable room layout and service flaws.

Service was noticeably lacking, particularly at the Bristol Grill. Upon arrival, we were left standing at the entrance for 15 minutes before the maître d' finally came to seat us.

Be cautious if you are assigned Room 316. The layout is awkward, with the TV placed directly in front of the dividing wall between the bed and the bathroom. Instead of facing a street or city view, the window looks directly out onto a large maintenance HVAC/ventilation unit. More concerningly, the two single beds had only loose mattress pads rather than proper mattresses—one pad slipped right out of the frame, causing my husband to fall.

Housekeeping logistics also fell short. Every morning, a long line of maintenance carts cluttered the hallway, making it frustratingly difficult to enter and exit our room. It is a beautiful property, but management needs to address these basic comfort and operational issues.

An elegant hotel with excellent ambience and lovely breakfast, but it is costly.
Pros:

Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. The hotel had an old fashioned charm although the bar and brasserie were being renovated. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Location was good.

Cons:

Our rooms (and all rooms on the 7th floor) have to be accessed via stairs from the 6th floor which is an inconvenience. Pillows were not very good (very soft).

Oslos beste hotell
Pros:

Jeg har vært der mange ganger og er alltid like fornøyd. Rommene er rene og innbydende, og salongene er alltid de samme, intime, koselige og behagelige å oppholde seg i Denne gangen introduserte jeg hotellet for en venninne og hun ble også veldig begeistret. Tusen takk

Pros:

locatie
uitstraling interieur
voorzieningen
temperatuur regeling kamer
grote kamer
keuze bij het ontbijt

Cons:

geluid zowel van binnen (er werden roltrolleys regelmatig op de gang gezet voor kamer) als een kamer naast schoonmaak ruimte.
De ramen kunnen aan de straatkant wat geluidsdichter gemaakt worden, het is dat ik slaap met oordoppen maar ook daar kwam af en toe feestgeluid door.
Stoffige kamer
