Hotels near Ilatrappen, Oslo

This hotel is well located to explore Oslo. The breakfast buffet is large, varied and excellent. The staff are friendly, but could be better informed to help guests with their questions. Rooms are relatively spacious with a. funky modern decor but aren’t cleaned unless guests request it. The included dinner can be hit or miss in terms of quality, quantity and service. Overall, a good, not a great, choice.

My husband, two adult sons, sister, her husband and I travelled here for my sisters 50th birthday. Did not know what to expect from the hotel as is in the city centre so could be hit or miss. Did not have to worry at all. The staff are absolutely amazing and could not do enough for us. The buffet breakfast set us up for the day. The rooms were spacious and clean and had a mini fridge. Also small ironing board and iron in the rooms should you wish you iron! Water on tap available in the lobby, in the restaurant, in the gym and in the lounge and all had a choice of still or sparkling water. Along with a variety of Nespresso coffee pods. Could not tell that the hotel was in the middle of the centre. Brilliant location and place to chill with the train station within walking distance. If we were coming back to Oslo, this is where we would stay as everything you need and want is close by. Made wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!

I would really have liked to have given this a five star review, because the reception staff were super friendly, making sure I knew where the tourist attractions were and how to get there on my first day and letting me use the toilet when I popped back on my last day well after I’d checked out, as well as giving me a room with a phenomenal view of the fjord, but a couple of things took the shine off for me. One was the lack of air con. I mis-understood how hot Oslo could be, which is kind of on me and not the hotel BUT the DIY open window and fan arrangement weren’t entirely satisfactory, and while I was in my room, I never felt entirely comfortable with how hot I was. I guess the opposite could also be true if you can’t control how hot or cold your room gets in winter (when I assume my imaginings of snow drifts is actually a thing). Secondly was the breakfast. I can in no way fault the food - smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, bread, carrot cake (always a joy, whatever the time of day), melon, cheese and ham, but trying to find a table was sometimes impossible. It was particularly difficult for me as a solo traveller. It involved getting up early, crossing my fingers and piling everything on my plate in one go, just in case. Some days it was fine, but one day, after walking what felt like the entire length of the shopping centre getting increasingly dispondent, I had to perch on the end of a table with a group of pensioners who were staying there after two weeks travelling up and down Scandinavia together on train. Fortunately I am mature enough to be able to make small talk, but I can see how it wouldn’t go down so well with everyone else. Coffee was also a hit hit and miss - I was only offered some two out of four days. These little quirks are a real shame, because the location is great (handy for the train and city centre tourist attractions), and as I say, the staff on reception were lovely (and based on what I heard while I was standing in line, some of the other guests can be quite demanding). If I’m in Oslo again, I would definitely consider staying here again (but maybe bring a handheld fan or multiple layers of clothing, depending on the season) and maybe avoiding the breakfast.

Excellent location for direct airport transfers by express train as well as commuting around Oslo. Walking distance to POI as well as shopping belt. The hotel is only 5 mins walk from central station yet not affected by the bustle of the station. Self Check in was so super easy. We had a room on a high floor with terrace which had a vantage view of the central station. Room is clean & good size although the mattresses could be firmer. All things considered, a very good 3 night stay. Will definitely recommend!

Loved the spaciousness of the twin room. Bathroom floors felt heated so appreciated that. Fantastic location.

It was a really excellent hostel. Clean. Has all facilities and in the perfect location. The only thing I can suggest hostel improvement is to ask guests what they plan on doing at the hostel as, I stayed in a 12 bed mixed dorm and only met 2 people my age who wanted to meet and become friends and hang out etc. The rest were boring 50+ and even one 72 year old who was living there and was a let down as they kept complaining that we were talking after 11pm. If the young ones and old ones, or the quiet ones and the meet friends and go out ones are seperated, this hostel could be 5**

We spent three nights at this hotel and while it wasn't terrible we would not choose to go back. The rooms are small and have minimal furnishings. There is nowhere to unpack and little place for relaxing or working. We did appreciate having a view of the Opera House but the extra money we paid for a balcony was wasted as the balcony had no furniture. The breakfast was fine; we did not have a problem finding a seat though others we saw did. The only 'extra' in the lobby is water; other snacks and drinks must be purchased. The staff was uneven. On our arrival day the people at the front desk were quite rude, later staff were pleasant. One note - though Oslo is a very safe city, the area around this hotel attracts what homeless population we saw in the city (there seems to be a drop in clinic there). While we never felt threatened, we did have to change our route near the hotel to avoid unwanted attention. Some travelers might prefer not to have to deal with this. We saw many other hotels in the area and think they would be a better option.

The hotel is not in the city center, but there is a bus at the door, which is quite convenient. The price is right. There are lush plants in front and a bay in the back. It is suitable for leisure and free travel. The overall feeling is very good

This hotel is very much NOT located in Oslo, it is on the outskirts. There is a train station nearby, so you can get the train from Airport to the railway station and then a taxi to the hotel (It is not walkable). The hotel staff are friendly and efficient, the restaurant offered good food and the breakfasts were excellent. The room was clean, had a desk and good Wi-Fi. Nearby is a large shopping mall that offered some additional dining options and a supermarket. Overall this is a solid option if you are in business in this district, it is not an option if you want to be in central Oslo.

Das Frühstück ist das Highlight in diesem Hotel, unglaublich gut und die Auswahl mehr als ausreichend. Die Zimmer könnten klimatisiert sein, das trifft wahrscheinlich in Norwegen eher nur auf wenige Wochen zu. Die Betten sind gut, die Zimmer ausreichen ausgestattet. Ich hätte mir eine Art Pantoffeln gewünscht, da ich Teppichboden nicht so gerne Barfuss in Hotels begehe. Vielleicht kann man da nachbessern.
