Expert reviews
“Sommerro, in the elegant Frogner neighborhood, is one of Oslo’s newest hotels, housed in the former Art Deco headquarters of an electrical company. All velvet upholstery and curved polished wood, the hotel has a wonderful pool.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Oslo.
“To be in with the cool crowd who flooded in on day one. Since then, they’ve been trying Sommerro Negronis to the rhythms of a talented band, tasting the acclaimed Nordic-Japanese dishes of Chef Frida Ronge in Oslo’s first rooftop restaurant, and immersing themselves in the detail that designers GrecoDeco have sprinkled liberally around the 1930’s building. This is the new place to stay in Norway’s capital.”

All you need to know
A historic gem from the 1930s, once the central hub for Oslo’s power company, has been completely revamped into a high-end boutique hotel.
It harmoniously blends original Art Deco features with contemporary nods, transforming the building’s former authoritative charm into something more inviting and more opulent. The rooms are chic and imbued with personality, equipped with top-tier modern conveniences.
A sizable spa and wellness center boasts the restoration of the original public bath from 1932, paired with treatment rooms and a top-notch gym. Among Sommero’s various dining and drinking options is Tak Oslo, a unique Nordic-Japanese fusion restaurant offering panoramic views over the cityscape.
Certain rooms at Sommero come with private bathrooms fitted with showers and complimentary toiletries, and some even offer views of the cityscape. Every room at this establishment provides bed linens and towels.
Key attractions near Sommerro include the Oslo Central Station, Akershus Fortress, and The Royal Palace.

Overall good but few things needs to be improved
Great breakfast and the best gym in town!
The room was always cold, it was not possible to set the temperature. You have to pay for the pool and the restaurants of the hotel are always fully booked. It is difficult to get a drink in the bar.

Very beautiful hotel and lovely staff. Our room was very small, but we loved our cubby hole twin beds with curtains, the single beds are really big and very comfortable. The breakfast buffet is superb. The location is great, very close to lots of attractions, and tram stop right outside the front door. Oslo is wonderful, stunning waterfront, Munch is a must see as well as museums peninsula and the Ferry journey.
We were disappointed that the gym didn't open until 8 despite the website saying 5am. It was also disappointing that the pool and sauna are extra cost.

Art Deco gem of a hotel steps from the Royal Palace and everything Oslo has to offer!
The Sommerro is a wonderful gem of a hotel, in a wonderful gem of a city! It’s Art Deco personality suits the neighborhood, the location is a 5-10 minute walk from everything, there’s two tram stations within 100 ft from the front door that will take you anywhere in Oslo, the staff is super helpful, and the breakfast is one of the best ever. They also have a jazz band playing in their main restaurant on summer weekends to go with the Art Deco theme, and the downstairs pool is drop dead gorgeous. Room sizes are good for Europe, beds are comfy and there’s black out curtains fit the long summer nights, toiletries are luxurious, and there are plenty of nice touches to each room. Overall, a very well thought-out hotel!
That I couldn’t stay longer?

Overall it’s a beautiful hotel and well kept. I probably will come back again.
Breakfast was good
The outdoor pool was in construction, couldn’t use it. Also found out I would have to pay to use it as well which was a disappointment. I have been to other hotels with a pool and didn’t have to pay.

Nice place to live, a bit pricey as everything in Norway :)
Comfortable room, friendly and helpful personnel, great breakfast
Upon arrival the hotel offered the room on the 2nd floor with the view on some garbage containers :( which is strange for 5 star hotel We must admit that the personnel immediately resolved the problem and changed the room for much better one

Very nice but could be beautiful
Room and hotel is beautiful.
Extra charge for for swimming pool. They should indicate that they do not have swimming pools. I heard few amazed people who cannot believe that.

Highly recommend this beautiful hotel. The thoughtful and creative design is a pleasure.
The genuine love that was put into the creation of the hotel, attention to detail, styling and design. Spacious, very comfortable rooms, everything well catered for. Excellent breakfast. Love how I could read a beautiful book about the history of the building and the creation of the hotel. Lovely touch. It enhanced the pleasure of the experience.
Nothing I don’t like. The staff are professional, but several are a little stiff, not that friendly or welcoming. Although I realise it is a large hotel and they are deal with a consistent steam of people.

It was cozy and pleasant.
The courteous staff who are always ready to assist.
The size of the room and non-closing of washroom from inside .
18 June 2024
Trendy & sophisticated. Great for a weekend staycation .
Stunning architectural design. Every inch of the hotel has been considered, down to the detailing on the dinnerware. Uber trendy with an air of sophistication.
On top of the room charge, if you wanted to use the facilities ie pool, sauna , you had to pay, considering the price of the room .

Loved the decor and the amazing details, great staff especially Sandra
A very noisy bar below our rooms. Not part of the hotel. Take ear plugs
