Smooth check-in and great service. Rooms are a bit dated and needs an overhaul. No robes in the room which I found strange. Lovely restaurant and impressive breakfast. Beautiful hotel with great location. Love the interior in the common areas. Would stay again if the price is fair.

Our stay at the Hotel Bristol was outstanding. The public spaces are historic and beautiful and our room was well sized and very comfortable. The hotel is located in the center of Oslo making it easy to walk to most sights. The streetcar and metro are nearby if you need to go a little farther. They have an excellent breakfast buffet to ensure you are fueled up for the day.

Incredible flair
Feels like a trip back in time, but in a good way. The hotel has a rich history and they managed to keep, transport and evolve that flair into the 21st century. Location is exceptional when you want to explore Oslo. Will stay here, when I come back.

This is my go-to hotel in Oslo as the beds are so comfy. BUT on this occasion, the (Superior) room they gave me was tiny (with a large bathroom, not so useful), it was down some stairs, which is not great when one has a bad back but the really horrible thing this time was the stench of 'rotten cabbage/sewage' in the hallway outside the room. Awful, but apparently it was due to the kitchen cleaning something. But why not put guests in other corridors then? The ones I walked through to get to the lift were fine. Will have to rethink next time I go to Oslo.
