We loved our stay at Clarion hotel. It’s located right next to Oslo central station so it’s convenient to catch trains f
Excellent location, clean and well maintained Breakfast was good with lot of options- though it did get very busy sometimes. Our room was spacious and clean
Probably a bit pricey

Very good
The staff was great, food was awesome, and beds were comfy
No shelving in the bath, had my own shower products, and would have liked to put them down on a shelf.

The location is in the center within walking distance to the most of the attractions. The central station was across the road with the great trains service to the airport and also public transport. The breakfast was amazing with the excellent variety of fresh high quality organic food. The spa area and 2gyms (cardio+machine) were extremely clean and free towels available at the changing rooms.

Very large elegant hotel near central station with wonderful breakfast buffet. Front desk sent someone in a timely manner to address a thermostat issue upon check-in.

Good location
The location was a plus. Bfast spread is very good & I enjoyed it very much.
Did not provide bedroom slippers or electric kettle in our rooms. Bed was too soft for me.

Can be better.
Breakfast was good! But maybe there should be some changes daily.
I called to check if I can get my laundry back by Thursday as I was flying off on Friday if I sent it by 0900 on Tuesday. I was told I would and it would come back the next day by 1800 hours. I asked for my laundry on Thursday night and I was told that they couldn’t find it and it was missing. I called 3 times and stayed up till 0200 hours to wait for the staff to find my laundry as they said they were “hunting” for it. I called again and said I need to rest and will be up at 0600 hours, if they have found it please give me a call. I called at 0630 but they said they hunted everywhere the entire night but couldn’t find it. After breakfast I went down to reception and asked this very nice lady, told her my laundry was missing and gave my room number. She found it and gave it back to me within 30 seconds. So I’m wondering if the night shift staff even bothered to find my laundry at all???

Perfect location, great start and amazing value for money!
The hotel is situated absolutely in the center of Oslo, close to the train station and with trams and public transport absolutely next door. It's also walking distance from all the main attractions. The hotel itself is well maintained, with extremely helpful staff. The Norda restaurant on the roof top is also a great place to unwind and have gorgeous seafood - we were absolutely pampered by Ivana, do say hello to her! And a very special mention for the absolutely delightful and large spread for breakfast!
Nothing to not like about this beautiful property.

Fantastic Location with Spacious Room
Location is fantastic - literally diagonally across from the Oslo Station. The room is spacious, the staff is friendly (especially Diana who did my check-out) and I really like the ice-cube self-service on each floor.
My room only has one panel of window (which is different from the picture in the OTA), so part of the large room gets a bit dark. I had issue with the air-con (it got very warm in the evening) - I only managed to find the hidden control system after searching high and low.

Overall a good hotel, rooms is tight for family of 4, but we enjoyed the breakfast and location.
Breakfast was great, especially the fresh fruit. Location was also very convenient.
There are not enough storages for clothes, so we had to leave everything in the suitcase. Also our room faced the train station so we could hear the train so it was a bit loud at night.

Overall the stay in the hotel was fantastic, the room was a relaxing, comfortable space, the breakfast was fantastic, the bars and restaurants were just brilliant and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating.
The air conditioning in our room (1403) didn’t seem to function too well. The room got too warm at night and the noise from outside meant either sleep uncomfortably warm, or have difficulty sleeping from having the window open. As someone who overheats very easily, this meant my sleep was not good.

Breakfast area needs better layout. It is a zoo during busy hours. A/C control should be possible in the room. When it got cold we had to cover with towel.

A reasonable 3-4 star hotel in a great location (depending on the room that is offered
The breakfast selection was very good. It is very busy though.
There is a large variation in the size of rooms offered in the “standard double room”. We had to request a change of room as we couldn’t even open two suitcases in our first room. There is also nowhere to unpack your clothes when you arrive apart from about four hangers in a very narrow cupboard. The second room we were offered was fine for the classification. I also heard of several other complaining of the same issue with very small inadequate room sizes. This is not clear on booking.com

The wow starts as soon as you walk into the lobby. Staff are courteous. The well-apointed room offered a view of the city and featured a top-notch bed. The breakfast buffet was highly impressive and beautifully presented. We had cocktails and dinner at Norda on the 13th floor and it did not disappoint. And the hotel deserves extra credits for allowing dogs to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel! The location was perfect, right next to the main station and multiple public transport stops, and just a short walk away from the opera. The staff working at the hotel were very helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious with a LOT of choices.
At some point during our stay, the breakfast times were shortened to 9:30am which we found a little early, especially since the staff packed up all the food within minutes.

Great value for money at the centre of the city
There is a lounge at the same floor of my stay. It’s nice and comfortable. We ate there. The food variety of the breakfast buffet was great. Location is excellent
The service hours of the coffee machine in the lounge could be longer

Comfortable, Cental Location
Location was excellent- across the road from the railway station, close to transport, close to attractions.
Breakfast was plentiful, however no English breakfast tea for x 2 days. No kettle in room - needed to ask. Limited support re tourist attractions however there is a tourist information in the railway station.

Everything about this hotel is amazing!
Everything about this hotel is amazing! Starting from the location, you cannot get anymore central than this hotel. The quick and efficient check in from the friendly, welcoming and informative staff. Then the stylish, comfortable and clean room. The breakfast is out of this world! So much choice, so fresh and so tasty! The spa facilities are an added bonus. There is a steam room, sauna, two gym rooms and a small pool. The only problem when we stayed was that the sauna did not work, but it was fixed and worked on the second day.

Superb week
Hotels location was brilliant. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and sorted out any issues we had. Would recommend to all.
The only issue we had was that the climate control in the room didn't work. Oslo was having a heatwave, and this meant our room got very warm. They did supply a fan. The rest of the hotel was cool.
