Expert reviews

Forbes review:

“Amerikalinjen’s style tips a hat to American culture, namely the great jazz age, old Hollywood glam and the comfort of a cold Coca-Cola. It offers a basement jazz club inspired by such places in New York and festive jazz brunches.”

New York Times review:

“Amerikalinjen, across from the train station, occupies the former headquarters of the passenger line that once took Norwegian immigrants to New York. Rates cover a terrific breakfast that, in a nod to its New York connections, includes decent bagels.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Oslo.

Telegraph review:

“Amerikalinjen is a humming cluster of cool, slickly designed restaurants and bars, where guests and fashionable locals eat, drink and play. Most of all, it’s a space that salute’s Norway’s history and flies the flag for all things local, thrusting this underrated Scandinavian city into the spotlight it deserves.”

All you need to know

Taking its name from a Norwegian-American maritime business and previously serving as the company’s headquarters, the Amerikalinjen building is a piece of history dating back to 1919.

This stylish and historic establishment enjoys a prime location, just a stone’s throw from Jernbanetorget metro station and within easy walking distance to attractions such as the Oslo Opera House, Munch Museum, and a slew of eateries and pubs.

With a total of 122 rooms, the interiors of Amerikalinjen are imbued with various marine-inspired elements, including vintage ship dining menus, brass details, and framed cartographic works.

Observant guests will also spot original architectural features like parquet flooring, ornate ceilings, and unusually deep-set windows. Each room offers a tastefully decorated interior along with amenities like WiFi, minibars, high-definition TVs, and facilities for making tea and coffee.

For those who wish to stay active, the hotel houses a premium gym that operates round-the-clock. The fitness center provides weight training equipment, cardio machines, and dedicated areas for yoga and pilates.

Dining options at the hotel are diverse, with Atlas being one of the on-site restaurants. Adorned with mirrored walls, tiled flooring, and soft illumination, Atlas offers an elegant backdrop for breakfast and dinner.

Havan, a charming open-air dining area nestled within the hotel’s lush courtyard, offers the same culinary delights as Atlas, in addition to coffee and cocktail selections. The hotel’s high-end bar, Pier 32, boasts an unmatched range of cocktails.

The hotel’s standout attraction is Gustav, a jazz club inspired by New York City, which hosts private dining experiences and cozy concerts.

Great choice for Oslo

The location is excellent- a short walk from the central station. The property is in great condition and spotlessly clean. The historic nature of the hotel is also of interest. The staff were superb.

The room was very small- there was barely enough room for two people to open suitcases.

Centrally located hotel with great service.

Every staff member I interacted with went beyond what might have been expected to assist me. You cannot beat the location, right next to central station and all the main transit lines. Gustav's! Gustav's! Gustav's! Amazing jazz in a great room.

The gym lacked "light" weights for lifting. The coffee service was a little uneven some days. The bed could have been a little more comfortable.

A lovely stay in a great hotel, perfectly situated for our exploration of Oslo.

The hotel is perfectly located near the station. The building of course has an interesting history and the re-purposing into a hotel works really well with great décor and atmosphere. The staff are extremely helpful, the rooms are nicely appointed and the breakfast is nicely presented and of good quality.

nothing really that stands out.

Classic Hotel within steps of the train station.

The room was classic witih high ceilings and very nice decor. The staff was excellent. Breakfast was varied and plentiful with the crowning glory being the fresh-squeezed orange juice!

Great hotel would stay again

Staff were great, room was comfortable if a little small, breakfast was excellent. Location is right in the middle of everything. Would definitely stay here again.

Room and bathroom was a bit cramped and the aircon ineffectual.

Central location and incredible breakfast made for a delightful stay

The hotel is very centrally located, making it easy to explore the city and access public transportation. The highlight of my stay was definitely the breakfast. The variety and quality of the food were incredible, offering a great start to the day. However, I did notice that some of the breakfast service staff were not as friendly as I would have hoped, which slightly detracted from the experience.

One notable issue was the room temperature control. The thermostat could only be adjusted within a range of ±3°C, which was quite unusual. During my stay, Oslo experienced unusually warm weather, and our room, which faced the sun, became too warm for comfort. This limited adjustment range made it difficult to achieve a comfortable temperature.

Excellent attention to detail

Attention to detail was excellent - from furnishings/decor to the thoughtful early bird breakfast inclusions at 3am! Staff were wonderful and very friendly.

My only criticism is that the room remained very bright at night as there were no coverings on the bathroom window and the bathroom door was clear. As we visited in summer, it was bright until almost midnight and then again around 4am. This made it difficult to sleep.
