“Snowy paradise”
Fabulous gingerbread style hotel next to the famous ski jump. Comfortable, great service and excellent food. Breakfast highly recommended! If you don't need to be in central Oslo ( easily accessible by tram) this is a great place to stay on the snowy hilltop. Wonderful views and the astonishing ski slope right next door.
“Hospitality is NOT our name”
The Holmenkollen hotel has a great facade. When you drive up to the hotel the outside architecture is phenononemal, but when you get in the hotel it looks like a tired Ramada Inn. The personnel were the least friendly group of Service Industry personnel that I have come across. The bartenders acted as if we were uninvited guests that dropped in to their private home at dinner time. We could hardly place an order, since they were busy talking amongst themselves and having dinner in the room behind the bar. I do NOT recommend this hotel.
“excellent stunning views”
Booked this hotel as had visited the ski center a few years ago. Views from hoyel are out of this world.( ask for fjord view). Buffet meal great value for Norway.Cost would only buy a pizza and a drink in town. Breakfast also great.
“Fake Old Grand Hotel”
This in an hotel for group traveling in bus. Rooms are soso. Kind of 50's motel behind a nice frontage. Forget the romantic gateways in the montain. A tourist trap.
“Excellent!!”
I stayed here for one night after arriving at the airport and before heading into Fjord country. It was a little off the beaten path, and if I had needed to find my way from the airport via bus to this hotel I would have had some trouble. However, I drove and the GPS had no issues finding it. Once there, it is only a few hundred meters from a bus stop and a 20 minute ride into downtown Oslo. Bus tickets and Oslo city passes can be purchased from reception. The hotel is beautiful, overlooks Oslo, and is quiet. Parking is quite expensive per night, but they have a covered garage, as well as other free parking a few hundred meters down the hill, or so I was told. My room was comfortable, and for a European hotel it was quite large, but small by American standards. Functional furnishings (think IKEA stuff), but comfortable. I will definitely stay here again in Oslo. One note, if you are planning on staying in Oslo for a lot of city touring, you may be more convenient to stay in the downtown itself, but if you are only spending a day in the city, or just passing through and need a spot to spend a night before/after flying in/out, particularly if you have a car rental, I would highly recommend this hotel.
“Great hotel, but little too far from the city...”
Hotel facilities and amenities were fabulous. Especially loved the complimentary breakfast. However, it is bit too far from the city center and limited number of buses run. Would recommend the hotel for long-term stay, but not for a short trip.
“Good value”
Excellent value for money in August 2009, presumably because the adjacent ski-jump is being completely re-constructed for the Nordic championships in early 2011. The tube line from the City Centre is also being upgraded, so you have to get off the tube a couple of stops from the centre and continue by bus to Holmenkollen. These are minor inconveniences though. The hotel is in a spectacular setting (it's on the itinerary of many tour buses), and the facilities and service are satisfactory.
“Very nice hotel just outside of town”
Super location just outside the town center with easy access to town. Great rooms and restaurant.
“Great experience”
The view was beautiful, the food was excellent, the staff very professional and friendly. A nice relaxing atmosphere since a small distance from the center of the city, yet near enough to easily get around Oslo for sightseeing.
“Very nice but ask for an upgrade from the regular room.”
The first night we stayed in a small room without any view. We upgraded to a bigger room with a view which ended up being wonderful. With that in mind, I highly recommend it. It is a bit out of the way, but easily accessible to the train which takes you directly into town. The view is fabulous. I'd stay there again. Oslo is a beautiful place to visit and was definitely my favorite place of the several countries we visited this trip.
