Very good

Spectacular views from the hotel. It was a a little distance out of Oslo centre but great transport links made getting to and from the hotel easy. Lovely comfortable room

A little disappointed we couldnt get the kids in for a little swim but appreciate its a spa. Managed to get open water swimming so all worked out ok

Everything was just excellent: nice quiet room, not too hot despite being hot outside, excellent restaurant, food and breakfast, kind and helpful staff. Superb view and location.

Very minor feedback: there was no towel to put on the floor after showering.

I had a great time and for the price we paid, we got a decent service

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The breakfast is good, although if you stay for a longer period of time, there will be no variety. The rooms are clean, the hotel staff is quick to respond and answer messages. The gym in the hotel is great 👍 High-quality equipment and a large space for training

I didn't like the fact that you can bring children to the gym and none of the employees enforces this rule. I felt anxious because the child could be seriously injured while playing with the machines. The hotel is located on a mountain. It offers a great view, but to be very honest, without a car, you need to make some effort to get to the hotel (if you use the bus, the way up takes about 8-10 minutes)

Excellent, would return for sure!

Amazing views, disc golf track and a pond behind the hotel, below the jump tower. You can opt for a walk around the area, lots to see and admire. Our family of four really loved it. Parking is well managed, paid parking in the parking house below the hotel or free parking ca 200m away. Kids receive a free mocktail upon the arrival. The staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is delicious. Stayed in the Standard Family room and it was comfortable, spacious, and clean. Would definitely book again.

A bit disappointed that visitors are not allowed to sit outside after 22:30 local time (we were told that it's mainly due to noise as it may bother other visitors). Would have loved to stay out a bit longer as you pay for location and the view.

This hotel was AMAZING and one of the best we have ever stayed at! Our room was fantastic with an unbelievable view of Oslo and open porch with French doors that let in a beautifully fresh breeze. Walking trails to the ski jump and an amazing breakfast with all the works! We loved the old Norwegian style and architecture of the historic part of the hotel. This is an amazing stay and well worth the extra money especially in a room with the deck and view we had! Huge exercise and fitness center as well!

Everything was excellent!

Family-friendly hotel with exceptional city views and wonderful breakfast.

The hotel is located above Oslo, with wonderful views of the city. The family room was the most spacious we stayed in out of 10 hotels in Norway, with plenty of room for suitcases. When we stayed, the hotel was full of families with children of varying ages so it feels extremely well-suited for families. Breakfast has many options (and a gluten free section) and was wonderful!

Cleanliness beyond the general cleaning of the rooms would benefit the hotel. Hallway carpets throughout the floor we stayed on were full of stains. The sinks in our bathroom had a cool design but unfortunately the place where two slabs of stone meet to form the drain were full of visible mildew which you could smell once the water was on.

Best place in Oslo area!

Absolutely beautiful hotel! Well worth the trip out of Oslo. Staff was great. Breakfast buffet was by far the best we had during our trip. Dinner buffet was worth the price! Surrounding area was fun to explore. Highly recommend

A shuttle from train to hotel would be nice. The walk UP with your luggage was rough.

Fantastic hotel in amazing location. It’s a trek out of town but that’s what we wanted.

Not being able to access the swimming pool despite being residents unless you pay the 250NOK which I thought was a bit steep.

Very impressed, would come again

-Great location: surrounded by stunning views and nature, but still easy to get to and from the city centre. -Nice interior: very pretty decor and great atmosphere. -Standard double room exceeded expectations: was roomy, laid out nicely, bed was high quality, huge bathroom. -Breakfast buffet was extensive.

-Room temperature: felt a bit hot without the window open, almost as if the heating was on too high but we couldn't figure out how to adjust it. -Bathroom ventilation: If there was an extractor fan in the bathroom we couldn't tell: the bathroom steamed up very quickly and I found it a bit hard to breathe having a bath.

The location, views, atmosphere, food and drinks, and rooms were fantastic.

Breakfast was fantastic - huge menu to choose from, but something suitable for all. The views from hotel were stunning. Room was very clean and beds extremely comfortable.

Unfortunately staff at reception couldn't assist in supporting us book the swimming pool for a family swim (limited to 8-10am). We had no issues with the restricted times for family swim however we were given the business card with spa details and advised to book online. Unfortunately we found the app difficult to navigate, and we were unable to book a swim.

Beautiful, historic setting perfect for a trip to Oslo.

Beautiful historic building in a scenic location overlooking the city of Oslo.

Rooms, while attractive, aren’t as functional as they should be. Examples: no shelf in shower for razor, shaving cream, etc, confusing light/HVAC controls, large lamps on end tables leave little room for anything else, ironing board takes up half the room in closet (could easily fit under the bed.

Absolutely fantastic and will definitely stay at Scandic Hotels again

The location and the views of this hotel and excellent, it is located about 4 miles from Central Station and about 30 minutes tram ride. It was lovely to be staying outside of the busy city. Very peaceful, how you imagine Norway. It also meant you got to see some of the local area. The staff were friendly. The interior was warm, beautiful and very welcoming, lots of glass and wood and really takes advantage of the setting.

There was nothing that I didn't like.

Beautiful property with exceptional staff

Beautiful property in a stunning location. Staff were amazing, and went above and beyond. We had to take our daughter to hospital for an emergency, and when we returned in the late evening, the kitchen was closed. But after explaining our situation, they prepared a quick meal for us, which we were so grateful for, as we hadn’t eaten all day. Particular thanks goes to the dining manager with the funky glasses (didn’t get his name)

Location was great! Booked two rooms: one faced the city with a great view. Amenities were very good and breakfast was sensational!

The second room we booked lacked any kind of a view: the windows opened to the side of hill. Wouldn't stay in a room like this for more than one night--not a good value. Had to ask for bath towels.

It was a very good experience.

The location is excellent if you like to view the whole city. The staff are friendly and approachable despite of the stress of having to accomodate the customers. The breakfast is also superb with a lot of choices from cold to warm foods. Would like to come again without kids 😊

The things i don’t like is walking all the way up to hotel when you decided not to bring the car on strolling the city. Stairs all the way is more comfortable 😂. And also it’s not really 100 percent child friendly when you have small kids but that doesn’t matter. I’m a litle disappointed of the pool that is not public.

Excellent stay for a nature loving person

Beautiful views from the hotel, looking right at the Oslo fjords. Great size family room. Excellent breakfast. Neabry to Holmenkollen ski jump and nature trails.

Quite a challenge to get up the hill to the hotel from the metro stop with a baby stroller and wheeled luggage - consider it a workout! However, that has nothing to do with the hotel itself, just the location.
