Every room includes WiFi, a work desk and chair, a minibar, and a flat-screen TV. Upgraded rooms have separate living areas, Nespresso machines, sofa beds, bay windows, and/or meeting rooms. Apartments with kitchens and balconies are also available, located just around the corner from the hotel. There are 50 apartments total, which were renovated in 2015 to include several modern amenities.
You’ll notice plush furnishings, ambient lighting, and rich colors throughout each hotel space. On the top floor, you’ll find a 200-square-meter apartment with an incredible city view. Many guests use this space for board meetings, conference facilities, and TV and movie filming.
A complimentary breakfast buffet is included in the price of your room, served in the Breakfast Room. There is also an onsite bar and a restaurant with white tablecloths and ambient decor.
This hotel is located in one of the best neighborhoods in Oslo. During your stay, you’ll only be a 10-minute walk from the Royal Palace, a 12-minute walk to the Majorstuen metro station, and three kilometers from Vigilance Park.

Excellent value.
Everything was excellent apart from the size of the room, which was on the small side. Other than that I would highly recommend it!

Small friendly hotel in a good location.
The property was centrally located in a quiet area but within easy walking distance to the city centre and public transport. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was a buffet style breakfast which was fresh with a variety of hot and cold options.

Nice, quiet hotel.
The hotel is stylish and is located in a quiet neighborhood with large mansions.
There was a hole in the wall and the room was somewhat worn out. For users of public transportation the hotel is not optimally located. You need to walk for a quarter of an hour to get downtown.

The breakfast at the hotel was great. The hygiene is very clean. The bed was also very comfortable. The attitude of the staff is also very good. It's just that the traffic is a little inconvenient. It takes seven or eight minutes to get to the nearest bus. Everything else was perfect, it would be nice to have more paper in the room.

Great cute hotel in quiet part of Oslo. Fantastic helpful staff, incredible breakfast
Great breakfast, was not expecting the spread put on that we had but was fantastic. Comfy beds, clean rooms.
Bathrooms are tiny, If you're over 6ft you won't fit in the shower. Room temperature control was not the best, but I made it work.

Our room was clean, tidy and nice and big. We were 2 adults and 2 children and were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and all the staff were friendly and nice. The parking outside the hotel was a big plus for us! Will stay again!

Beautiful boutique hotel with a great lobby bar
Absolutely loved the main lobby area: felt like sitting at home by the fire having a drink . Rooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. Service was fantastic
The showers were really difficult to fit in and to keep from flooding the floor

A very warm welcoming hotel, great staff, great breakfasts, close to the city with tram service just a street away with
That they had parking and free on first in basis. Very central to the city Centre, walkable and tram just a street away from the hotel, with restaurants bars etc.
We had nothing to complain about.

Lovely stay in Oslo
We had a lovely stay at Saga Hotel. It is located in a very good position, so you can walk to the centre, or get public transport easily. It's clean and comfortable, and offers an excellent breakfast. All staff members are kind and helpful. We would choose this hotel again if we were to come back to Oslo.
My friends and I all found the beds and pillows to be a bit too soft and not very comfortable. The room also gets quite warm, even with the radiator turned off!

Very good
The reception staff were exceptionally courteous and helpful. The hotel was very pleasant and well-appointed overall.
There was minimal storage space in my room, and the TV choices were limited. However, the room was very nice otherwise.

Room a bit hot and hard to control the heating.

Great boutique hotel in a quiet - yet relatively central - part of Oslo
I have stayed at Saga Hotel Oslo before and had yet another great experience. The room was sufficient in size for one person, quiet, clean and comfortable in every sense. Overall, the ambience of the hotel is very somber and relaxing. The breakfast buffet is excellent (including good coffee of your choice). The hotel is located in a very quiet area, which is generally a plus although you have to walk a bit to reach the closest restaurants and the very centre of Oslo.
Nothing. Everything was great and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely hotel, amazing breakfast, great staff.
Wonderful breakfast, probably the best hotel breakfast we’ve had. The staff are lovely & really helpful. Beds are super comfy.
The room wasn’t quite what we’d call a superior room. There wasn’t much storage & being top floor the sloped roof isn’t ideal.

Very good
The hotel in itself gives the feeling of “home”.. the lobby was just like a salon, the room was clean and has a space .. the restaurant for the breakfast was like a tavern.. very cozy
I would recommend to add more stuff in the room: sleepers, tooth brush etc..

Really nice hotel in Majorstuen
The hotel is not huge and it keeps its quality high. The breakfast was really good, with plenty options. The room was clean and cozy with espresso machine. Also, there was an elevator which is super handy and a nice lobby area.
