Lysebu Hotel, Oslo

great location, beautiful building and room, friendly staff and delicious food.

Great location, excellent breakfast (with stunning view), free parking, nice swimming pool and sauna, lobby with fireplace and friendly staff.

Nothing.

Beautiful setting in old historic buildings. It was a busy night with two weddings but we still felt very welcome and well taken care of by everyone we met - particular in the reception and in the restaurant. The indoor pool was amazing and with a beautiful view. The breakfast offered everything you could dream of. Perfect stay on our way further north.

Everything!

Fabulous Scandinavian style looks unassuming from the outside but great style and quality. Dinner menu limited but great food; great breakfast

The atmosphere and hospitality of the staff.

A little far off the beaten path.

Lysebu was a gem tucked away on the mountainsides around Oslo. The front desk staff were so friendly and welcoming and happy to help with any requests. The rooms were so comfortable and relaxing and ours had an unbelievable view. We had dinner our first night as well as breakfast both mornings and the restaurant was superb. Our server for dinner had an extensive knowledge of the menu and the wine selection and was 5 stars! Breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever had. Conveniently the metro stop is a short walk away, even though you feel you are tucked away in the countryside, making getting into Oslo very easy and affordable.

Our air conditioning in the room didn’t seem to work, but otherwise we are sad that we only stayed 2 nights!

The location was fantastic on the hill with the famous Holmenkollen ski jump and ski centre. Felt rural because the area is dense with woodland. Metro line just 10 minutes walk away from hotel which took you to the centre of Oslo. The style of this Hotel is a tasteful mix of traditional and modern.

Unfortunately the Spa was closed for repair and that was one of the reasons we chose the Lysebu. Hopefully it will be open when we come back again.

Historic property that has been tastefully updated. restaurant was excellent for dinner and breakfast.

Shame that the pool and sauna were closed for maintenance. Nobody told us at booking or prior to our arrival. A sincere apology for the inconvenience was provided, but no compensation was offered.

The breakfast was really good with a lot of selection. The room was modern and nice, the location a little bit remote. But this should be obvious while booking, maybe it should be addressed more clearly.

N.A.

Location is perfect and the interior is beautiful. Very calming and stylish. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and well laid out.

I think the breakfast could have been better. It seemed a little chaotic but that seems down to staff issues.

pool , architecture

breakfast could be better for a 5 star hotel

Location and room superb

Hot breakfast food was lukewarm

this is one of the best hotels I’ve been too, the team is amazing , also design

It’s a beautiful place, looks like you are in a movie!

Very nice location, many options for walking/trekking. Possible to get to the place from Oslo by metro (+a bit on foot). Clean cozy room, though not very big. Swimming pool and sauna included. REALLY good breakfast!

Beautiful, comfortable,good design,good environment,excellent breakfast

no

Absolutely everything. Breakfast and spa/swimming pool are exceptional !!!

The atmosphere.

The automatic closing system for the bathroom door might be dangerous for small kids. Should be removed.

It was beautifully done out, with a feeling of comfort and elegance. The breakfasts were extensive and delicious and the bed was really comfortable. The swimming pool was of a good size and temperature and the views were stunning. A really peaceful, relaxing venue.

The menu for the evening meal was very strange though the good we had was excellent (particularly the baked Alaska!). We booked two rooms and only one had coffee making facilities in the room. I asked at the desk but was told that is how it is as there are free coffee stations in the building - however if you want a cup of coffee in bed in the morning, you don’t want to go downstairs in your nightwear to make it.

For our last night in Norway, I knew we booked something fancy but I did not know it would be this fancy! Wonderful and friendly welcome and added bonus, room upgrade :) Spacious, deluxe room with a great bed, sitting area with comfy sofa, desk area, large bathroom and a balcony with great sunset views. Dinner was a joyful experience in a room with views of treetops and the horizon. The service was friendly and our meal and drinks tasty. After a good nights sleep we enjoyed a superb breakfast. Once again in a room that again provided beautiful views and so many food and drink options to choose from. Check-out was also friendly experience and we enjoyed our stay very much.

I cannot think of something we didn't like. We didn't have the opportunity to use the pool and such so we have to come back to enjoy that :)

Great atsmosphere and the very helpfull and friendly staff at the reception.

The location was breathtaking as it looked over the Oslo Fyord. Even the 25 minute train from Oslo up the mountain to our hotel was amazing as you saw all of Oslo too. Our room was amazing and had a beautiful balcony that overlooked the Fyord.

The pool was small with only a sauna, but still beautiful and suffice for what we needed.
