Hotels near Paulus Church, Oslo

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!

My understanding, and that of a couple who shared the apartment with me was that we would each have a private room in a hostel. This isn't a hostel at all, the budget option is actually an apartment share which we were only informed of when we arrived. Firstly, I will say the bed was really confortable with nice linen and the space for my possessions in my room was good, a nice large mirror too. The kitchen was ill-equiped, the door on the fridge only sealed if I placed a chair against it, and the utensils and knives and forks etc were not adequate if the place was full. Could have done with being re-decorated as rather tatty. The bedrooms have windows into the main living areas, but not to the outside, so fresh air was limited, and with flimsy curtains over those bedroom windows there was less privacy than was optimum, particularly when sharing with strangers. The doors to our rooms were extremely squeaky. Three bedrooms share the kitchen/living area and bathroom, so up to six people which should be manageable but IT IS NOT A HOSTEL. There was no information at all concerning local amenities, and no cloths etc for keeping the communal area clean. I requested and received dish soap from reception and was given a towel instead of a cloth to keep the kitchen clean. No hand soap was provided as the dispensers in the kitchen and bathroom were empty, something that should never happen at the present time. Whether you share or rent self-contained accommodation for your own party greater attention to detail would greatly improve things.

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!

Overall the environment is cozy enough but there’s some issues like the room had not be cleaned properly and there few items within the room is broken

Nice hotel in the centre of Oslo. The rooms are not big and spacious, but they are clean and well furnished as well as bathroom. Breakfast is excel. Overall experience including position of the hotel cleaness and value for money is excellent...close to bars and night life, centre and attractions and not too expensive for Norway

Wonderful! Award-winning design. Scandinavian design at its best. Biggest bathrooms you have ever seen, wonderful, thoughtful staff and clean, clen, clean. It is off the beaten path - not close to downtown and toursit attractions, but if you want to see part of Oslo most tourists do not see - and you will be rewarded by getting off the beaten path, take the Metro here - it's close by -- and enjoy Oslo at its best.

In a city with expensive hotels without a good reason, I dared to tried the luxury package of this hostel: Own room with bath, linen (you still need to make the bed yourself) and breakfast. All for a reasonable rate of 850 NOK. The location is nowhere near where you are likely going, but it is possible to walk to/from the metro stop and Storo shopping centre if you're ready for 15 mins walk or so. The hostel is acceptable though totally without charm. The view from the window is over the parking lot but the room and bathroom feel sufficiently clean. Sleep quality is OK, some noise travels in the building and quite a lot of people hanging around. The breakfast is below expectation. Dirty dishes mixed among plates and cutlery make you think the attention to detail might not be there in the food either. You do not take a big breakfast here; just not feeling that hungry. The big plus is the price. But even given that, the experience is so-so.

The room is at the far end, the twin room is of a moderate size, the view from the window is beautiful, and the breakfast is good, but the bus from the hotel to the airport is a bit expensive, and the sound of planes taking off and landing is somewhat close to the airport.

Clarion Hotel & Congress Oslo Airport is a conference hotel located just a few minutes drive from the terminal at Oslo Airport. There is a shuttle bus between the hotel and the terminal for a fee. The hotel staff appeared friendly but a bit reserved and I missed some more interest and commitment for me as a guest both at check-in and check-out. The same went for the staff in the restaurant. The guest room was equipped with a minibar, flat screen TV and an armchair, but I missed a work desk. The bed had clean and freshly ironed linen and the mattress was comfortable and in good condition. The cleanliness and the maintenance of the room was good. The bathroom appeared clean and inviting, with dispensers with products from Rituals which helped to lift the overall impression. The hotel's common areas could have been somewhat cleaner and there were some signs of poor maintenance. The selection in the restaurant was very limited, but it was stated that the menu would be expanded with more dishes when the hotel was back in full operation after the Christmas and New Year celebrations. I also missed the opportunity to order room service and menus or QR code for the menu in the guest room. Breakfast was served as a buffet and had a rich selection of both hot and cold dishes. However, the selection is not particularly excellent and better breakfasts are served at other nearby hotels. The staff in the breakfast room seemed friendly, but even here I missed more commitment and enthusiasm for the guests. There was free working wireless internet throughout the hotel.
