Excellent location

The location is excellent, particularly if arriving and/or departing by train. Plenty of sights and restaurants within walking distance. The staff were all pleasant and helpful, and the general feel of the hotel is clean and modern. The breakfast buffet is the best I've ever seen with massive choice and great quality. The mattress on the bed was comfortable and we had a great view of the opera house and beyond from our 9th floor room.

The only negative were the pillows. On each bed there was one that was too large and deep to sleep on, and another that was too flat.

Fantastic stay at the Clarion Hub in Oslo

Beautiful hotel. Great decor. Excellent breakfast Central location. Spa is peaceful. Special thanks to Anxo who looked after us so well when we came down too late for breakfast!

Not the hotel's fault at all but, my God, Oslo is expensive!

Fabulous

Great location - very central. Close to tram stops but everything is within walking distance. Breakfast selection is amazing. Staff were vey helpful - our first room didn't have any aircon so they moved us to a bigger room. Pillows are very good.

The lighting in the bathrooms is awful - so unflattering. There are not enough hooks to hang things in the room or in the bathroom. I have stayed here before and the aircon didn't work properly in that room either so I think it is an issue in general.

The best beds

The beds, the products (Rituals). Big TV was great, room was clean and comfortable. Big selection for breakfast. I liked that it was quiet, didnt hear anything from other rooms.

The room was a bit too cold for my liking. The breakfast was okay but crowded and it was kind of hard to get some of the food types. Not the most streamligned buffet layout. Wish they had room service in the evening too, so you dont have to order foodora and go all the way down to the lobby to pick up the food

Brief time in Oslo but hotel location was perfect and so convenient.

Breakfast was great. Wish we’d been told it started earlier than normal on Saturday 7 instead of 7:30. Glad they moved it up earlier since we had an 8:25 train to catch.

Great location for short stay

The hotel's location is excellent, and the entrance ambiance is very pleasant. The high level of technological functionality is also impressive. The breakfast offers a wide selection, and everything is great.

What I didn’t like was the cramped and small room, as well as the overly soft bed and two pillows — one of which was too big and too high, while the other was too small and too soft. Additionally, the worst aspect of the hotel is the 'spa' — one sauna was out of order, while the other was too small for the hotel’s capacity and located right next to the pool, so everyone inside was wearing swimsuits and often without towels. The pool itself is very small, and the so-called 'relaxation area' barely fits 10 people. The gym equipment is excellent, but to get to the gym, you have to walk past the pool area, where everything is wet, and you end up bringing that moisture into the gym with your sneakers. Overall, for a hotel of this level, the fitness and spa area left quite a poor impression.

Location was great. Large variety for breakfast. Room was spacious.

I booked a deluxe twin room and I didn’t want corner room at first so they gave us another room. The room had a small window and a pillar in the middle of the room in which I didn’t feel comfortable. Then I asked for the corner room again. The staff first claimed that the lighting and the size are the same but I remember seeing the emergency route map that the other room was bigger. The staff at first was a bit reluctant to change for me and I had to request several times and they ended up changing the room for me. The corner room ended up to be much bigger and has 3 windows. Overall the stay was great.

My second stay at this lovely hotel.

Lovely hotel in great location. The room was small and you have to climb over the bed to close and open the curtains as you can’t walk round it. The room was very dark too, insufficient lighting so difficult to see dark clothing which had fallen on to the floor beside the bed. I think there should be one good overhead light to help with packing to leave.

Very convenient place to stay

Great hotel. Convenient location. Friendly staff. Food in restaurant was delicious. Great cocktails while looking at the view was wonderful. Loved the way the lifts work.

The bed, it was way, way too soft. Weird pillows too, they were workable but one was large enough to use as a floor cushion and the other so soft it needed to be rolled twice to make it useable. Not enough storage space in the room or hooks in the bathroom. Room looked great but was more design over substance.

Clarion Hotel - The Hub. A large but very well organised hotel.

Breakfast was excellent. Massive selection. The breakfast room is a large area and although there were many people it never gets uncomfortably crowded.

I had a very nice room for a single person. My biggest complaint is, why do you have to have so many pillows and bed "ornaments". There is nowhere to place all this "extra junk" so you can go to bed. Even the bedside table is loaded up with lamps etc and nowhere to operate a portable computer.

The breakfast selections and presentation was as good as any, better than most, in my 27 years of travel.

There was nothing to dislike! We were so pleased with this hotel on all levels from location to staff to comfort. This was a perfect place for us to explore and enjoy Oslo.

Cozy and clean hotel, excellent breakfast, excellent location

The hotel is located right off the high-speed train from the airport, perfect for those who need easy access to the airport. I arrived for one night so I didn't have time to experience all the hotel facilities but the room was large and clean and the breakfast was very varied and delicious.

You stayed for one night and there was nothing that bothered me or that I didn't like. no complains :) But I did not use the various hotel facilities so my opinion is limited to the service, breakfast and the room itself.

Large city centre international style hotel very convenient for the station.

Big city centre international style hotel. Comfortable room. Truly excellent breakfast. They had a room at short notice.

I arrived late about 11pm. Hungry. Kitchens closed - no bar food or room service. Strange for a hotel of this size and style. No tea in room (only coffee). No complimentary water. Not a great welcome after a long journey.
