Wonderful hotel. We couldn’t recommend it enough. And breakfast was amazing. Two chefs always on duty. And reception staff couldn’t do enough for you.

Great property! Excellent location, short walk from the central station, shopping district, palace and other monuments. Rooms are well presented and good size but I feel the bathrooms were small, toileteries are L’Occitane but not refilled regularly I presume, we had run out of shower gel, requested the house keeping but wasn’t done and they said they had run out of stock, twice complained at reception and finally it was refilled. Moisturiser also ran out but we had some of our own to use. The restaurant closes at 9pm and extremely limited choices so we had to dine out, the Bristol bar adjacent to hotel closes at 10pm sharp, not really ideal if you want to grab a drink post dinner & unwind. We had a rushed drink upon our arrival at the Bristol bar as the hotel bar was closed at 9pm. Upon our late arrival for check in into hotel we were advised room service was not available post 9pm so had to go hunting for food, luckily there is a deli close by so picked up some sandwiches. Staff at reception are helpfull mostly. Check in wasn’t the best experience with a wrong room number written on card so I had to come back down to find out the number written was incorrect. The restaurant is quite busy at lunch. A staff member at reception helped us book a ride back to the airport & very courteous. All in all a great property! Breakfast was fabulous, huge selection, loved it

Hotel Bristol is beautifully presented with a classically luxurious style. The double bedroom and bathroom had lots of space and the room was very comfortable. As other people have said, the breakfasts are amazing - a vast choice of cooked options, pastries, meats, cheese, fruit and more - and the staff are very attentive and helpful. The location is great for seeing lots of Oslo and there are tram, train and bus options within easy walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The breakfast was outstanding. The room was clean. But it was so noisy because of the pub and danceclub across the street that it was impossible to let the window open at night.

This hotel in the heart of Oslo was wonderful!! Our room was small but very luxurious & cozy. The bathroom was a nice size and had a very nice shower. The breakfast buffet was fabulous, so delicious and so many great options. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was great, close to shopping, restaurants and museums. We would highly recommend this hotel, we loved our stay!!!

I loved my room. It was reasonably sized with queen bed, desk, lounge chair, space for luggage, well-designed bathroom with a heated floor. It had all the amenities I expected plus a few more. The hotel is old and, while the room seemed new, with hardwood floor,, the corridors were worn. All of the spaces outside my guestroom were in need of a facelift. Breakfast choices were exceptional and good.

A good experience as you'd expect from this old lady of a classic hotel. However.... a couple of details. Most of staff do not know anything about Oslo or Norway, only concierge can advise but his advise - super friendly - does not match our requests and is kind of wrong (even restaurant: we wanted a Norwegian fish restaurant, he sends us to a Mediterranean cuisin one). There is veery limited sitting area at the lobby, or rather there is no lobby per se. Breakfast very good, but staff feel it is necessary to say that you can stay in breakfast room only for 45 minutes (even when you enter is 30 minutes before closing time at 10am). Following rules...? But hospitality is more than "following rules"...

Hotel Bristol was a nice place located in downtown Oslo with convenience to many sightseeing locations in addition to dining options. Room was nice, just maybe only the bathroom is a little small. Breakfast was included, and was available with many food options to choose. Overall I highly recommend!
