Oslo hotels near Byporten Shopping

Pros: The breakfast was amazing.

Pros: Its location, the design, the exceptional breakfast buffet

Cons: The support staff late responsiveness. As the shampoo is provided in big shared bottles, it looks like it was not checked after the last guest checkout..and it was totally empty..I ended up taking a shower with no shampoo nor conditioner. Trying to contact the reception ( no direct phone available in the room) I had to wait for 30 min to receive an answer on my request through facebook messenger! In addition, On Sunday, breakfast buffet stats open until 11. No one at recption informed me that on Monday it closes at 9h30, and the intial room TV message only mentioned weekend schedule. So coming down at 10 AM today, it was the big surprise! Thanks for the restaurant supervisor who offered me some food from the kitchen with a cup of coffee.

Pros: Great breakfast, in the center.

Pros: The BREAKFAST! Exceptional! A great experience for your taste receptors. A wide variety of food - raging from watermelons and fruit salad through French croissants and macarons through English breakfast and ambrosial cheeses to caviar and salmon. The location is direful.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The breakfast is excellent and all tastes are catered for in a superb room. The "fitness room" is actually a fully-equipped modern gym, far better than in most hotels claiming to offer a gym. The staff were, without exception excellent, nothing was too much trouble for them.

Pros: Lovely experience overall, in a thoughtfully designed and sparkling clean room. Major plus is the fantastic sauna with harbor view due to its glass walls. There's also a nice but very narrow pool (really best for one lap swimmer at a time).

Cons: Here's the elevator issue: If user forgets to swipe card first, response SHOULD be an error message such as Please swipe card. Instead, response is that system sends user to an elevator, elevator opens, then nothing happens! Needs a fix ASAP.

Pros: great location and facilities

Cons: they forgot to clean our room

Pros: Staff were exceptional. Room was clean. Location perfe9.

Cons: Limited gluten free options for breakfast.

Pros: 2 minutes walking distance from Oslo central station to an amazing hospitality team and a great hotel. The team especially Daniel from the service desk were splendid. He helped us in finding places to visit in the area and he made the check inn process along with Matthis really smooth. The room was spacious and clean as we hoped and everything were up to our expectations.

Pros: It was clean

Cons: The hotel was very basic. We had stayed in a Thon hotel for two nights prior and this was much nicer. Breakfast had more choice and tv had more channels. The swimming pool is on a different floor to changing rooms so had to walk in a towel down some stairs. Outside lift was not working which my daughter wanted to use. Then found out lift was working but not for hotel guests.

Pros: Everything about this Hotel is just perfect

Pros: Location, cleaning and breakfast

Pros: Great room on the 30th floor, great service around early check-in and late check-out, great restaurant on the 34th floor, exceptional breakfast with a specific gluten-free corner!

Cons: Pool temperature could have been warmer.

Pros: Great design and amenities, helpful staff (especially front desk and restaurant), amazing food and taste of Norway in restaurant. Good leisure facilities. Surprise upgrade to a business room for being a return traveller. Fantastic location.

Cons: Housekeeping in the room. Found a little brown "surprise" in the toilet when first arrived and spotted some black residue coming off of the plug in the bath

Cons: The seating hostess at the breakfast buffet - was rude

Pros: When purchasing, it felt like a nice hotel we were splurging for. When we got there, we realized it was anything but.

Cons: The area the hotel is located seemed like the shadiest part of town. I know this because I walked 15 miles the best day around the city and the only place that felt sketchy to me was outside and around the radisson plaza.

Pros: Stig the Receptionist at front desk who tried to rectify the problems with our rooms

Cons: My wife and I arrived on the 17th August 2015, and on attempting to check-in we were told the "computer system" was not working and therefore we we not able to check in. We were told to either wait (they could not provide an estimate on how long it would take). After a 15-min wait we were checked in "manually". As an American Carlson member, I presented my Club Carlson Gold card, but it wasn't accepted because my trip was booked through Kayak! Nevertheless after a short delay we were in our room. Immediately we noticed that the carpet in the room was dirty, and there were 2-single beds (as opposed to a double as we booked) Credit to the front desk staff who promptly reassigned us to a "newly refurbished" room. The room was a marked improvement over the last, and we happily settled in; unpacking our suitcases and preparing for an afternoon of sightseeing. On return in the evening, we prepared for the night and around 20:00 we tried to lock the door. The door lock did not work. A call to the front desk and a couple of minutes later someone from maintenance was at our door. I explained that the door wouldn't lock from the inside and he insisted that the lock was working. I was a bit taken back by his curt response, but nevertheless invited him to try. What followed next had me flabbergasted! The maintenance employee closed the door, and using his body weight proceeded to to yank on the door handle until he could engage the lock. Curtly he replied, "There it is locked". I attempted to unlock door by turning the lock itself and when I couldn't he demonstrated how to unlock the door. Standing on his toes and again using all his body weight he pressed down on the door handle until the lock disengaged. Again the curt response, "There it is unlocked". I couldn't believe it! Visibility annoyed at this point, when I pointed out that locking the door in such a manner would be a fire hazard (not to mention my wife will never be able to unlock the door if I locked it), he suggested that I actually didn't need to lock the door as no one from the outside could get in without a key. In response I stated that any member of staff could enter if the door was unlocked, to which he acknowledged was true and said I could either call the front desk to arrange a new room, lock the door as he demonstrated, or leave the door unlocked; but there was nothing he could do to fix the lock. Another call to the front desk and we were offered a room on the 20th floor. So after repacking we moved to our 3-room for the day. From then on the only issues we faced were with our room keys. Every time we left our room, the room key would not let us back in. So we had to make our way to the front desk where they would make a new key. Every time without fail!

Pros: very nice very inclusive, vegetarian and vegan can also have something to eat. nice

Cons: better if there is steam.

Pros: The Location is great. The sky bar had good drinks.

Cons: I ordered two beds, but one of the beds were a sofa bed. Not good to sleep in at all.

Pros: Breakfast buffet was nice, good location

Cons: Didn't really have air conditioning -- our room was really hot which was disruptive

Pros: This hotel is located to the royal castle and one can easily reach it by the airport bus, which stops right outside of it. The standard is high, but this is to be expected according to the price. Breakfast was also of the same high standard as the rest of the hotel.

Pros: King-sized bed, which was hard to find in Oslo, or Europe for that matter. Comfortable, quiet room. Helpful staff. Great breakfast.

Cons: Carpet next to bed needed cleaning, and our daughters' shower did not drain. reported both.

Cons: We asked for a quiet room and we were given a room under the bar which had a party on that didn’t end until 2am. Then we were woken up in the morning by someone vommiting for 1 hour. Really unpleasant.

Pros: The staff was excellent - they helped me recover my kindle when I accidentally left it on the airport shuttle. They also helped me with directions and provided assistance in finding my way around Oslo. The breakfast buffet was very good as well.

Cons: Room temperature was a bit warm for my taste - the ac was apparently not on yet (early spring), so I could not make the room cooler.

Cons: The bed was too soft and uncomfortable. Please think about using a slightly firmer mattress. The current mattress, a user sinks down towards the floor. Thanks.

Pros: We don't know what we would have liked because our reservation was cancelled on the morning of our flight to Oslo because of a hotel workers strike.

Cons: Obviously, we didn't like the need to find another hotel at the very last minute.
