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.

Perfect hotel
The style of the hotel was gorgeous, the staff were very professional and breakfast was delicious
The only thing I could think about are the queues that formed during check-in and for breakfast

Great hotel to enjoy during winter weather!
It was absolutely gorgeous and the staff was incredible. The amenities are fantastic and the restaurants offered have something for every palette.
It was a tad bit further out of the main area of the city and in the winter it was tough to walk as the streets in Oslo turn to ice after snow storms.

very very good
Breakfast was amazing, but what I really like was the why the new sommero utilized the history of the old art deco bathhouse
My wife wanted bathtub

We really enjoyed our stay and the staff were lovely. Location was great very easy to get to everywhere .
Beautiful hotel and lovely staff. The breakfast and staff were excellent
The Japanese restaurant in the roof top bar wasn’t great with a limited menu

Quirky cool hotel in easy access of Oslo
Very cool rooms
Too many people at breakfast which in turn led to the quality being somewhat questionable

Great location, great experience!
- The location is great, one can reach the city center by foot in circa 10min. There are good bus and tram connections right outside the Hotel, a train station is also within short walking distance. - The building is impressive, the interior is well decorated with attention to detail. - The room was clean and the bed, bed sheets and towels were very comfortable. - Good breakfast with quality products + one item that one can order from a menu and have it prepared right away. - Free water and sparkling water. - Everything seemed well organised, the hotel employees were always friendly and attentive.
1) The fact that the sauna and swimming pool are intensely shared with non-guests. At least when we were there the sauna/swimming pool needed to be booked with at least 1,5 day in advance and this kills the spontaneity. Nothing that a bit of planning can’t solve. 2) The room had only one small trash bin in the bathroom, we missed one in the bedroom part as well.

Only here for a one night visit but I was very impressed with the hotel and will be back.
Beautifully presented and classy hotel with great bars and restaurants, a very well provisioned gym, and very helpful staff.
Nothing not to like.

Fabulous
Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great variety and high quality ingredients. Oslo sights, museums, restaurants etc are spread out across the city so location was very good to access most of these within a short walk or bus trip. Also close to train station for access to airport (given Oslo expensive taxi rates).
Would be good to have one of the pools accessible without extra charge or booking.

Better than expected. Beautifully appointed rooms, great history of the site, top notch dining, more
Breakfast was outstanding. Menu items and buffet. Fresh and delicious food. Excellent service and coffee. Location excellent. Near boutiques and restaurants. Walk to center of town.
Wish we had known more about the swimming pool availability.

Opulent comfort in a stunning art deco spa hotel renovation
The breakfast is hosted in the stunning main hall, so it feels like an event breakfast. It was wonderful dining alone in a large winged armchair. The buffet is extraordinary, a vision of opulence. While there was no vegan option on the cooked menu, my requests were catered for and it was a welcome adaptation and delicious. The bedroom was superb with an extremely comfortable bed. Spa facilities from rooftop pool and sauna to the beautifully renovated deco swimming pool were really clean and atmospheric - especially the infra red and cold plunge pool with their gorgeous little changing room booths. Staff were a delight and couldn't be more friendly or helpful. It's a real treat to stay here and I would definitely come to Oslo again to enjoy more nights here.
I would have hoped for water in bottles in the room and more explicit directions to the filling station which I couldn't locate. Room service accommodated.

The breakfast was absolutely amazing. Worth going there just for that. Beautiful building and surroundings. Cool elevator.
My room was without a sofa and TV which made it kind of difficult to spend time there during the day.
