Excellent hotel near the centre of Oslo. It’s in a quiet area but is walking distance to the centre and has public transport links via the nearby tram stop. The hotel itself is quiet and cozy with great amenities. Both breakfast and dinner were great with a good selection - dinner was more than a ‘light meal’ so ate there every night!

This property is absolutely beautiful in its classic charm. It is conveniently located to local transportation and harbor sites. The property offers 2 very good meals each day besides a hot beverage and sweet "happy hour". The staff are all very friendly and on top of things. The only beware I can offer is that a scented air freshener is piped into the common areas. For we with allergies to scents it eliminates the opportunity to use those common spaces. It is a quick walk through those rooms to the front door and the dining area where the air "freshener" stops.

Highly recommend this Clarion Hotel if staying in the Frogner area.. we were so glad to have stayed in Frogner when visiting Oslo because it was quiet, beautiful, but so convenient and perfectly easy to get into Oslo city center. It was walking distance to Frogner Park/Vigeland Park. The breakfast and dinner provided was absolutely delicious every day with extensive options for vegans/vegetarians/all eating needs. The property had great facilities like a gym and sauna too! We absolutely loved our stay here and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Oslo.

Pleasant stay. Disappointing vegetarian options.

This is a nice hotel, beautifully decorated with friendly, hardworking staff. The rooms were clean and comfortable and service was excellent. We had booked two superior rooms as travelling with our children. Unfortunately during our stay there was construction work in the road taking place diectly outside our windows so we were woken very early both days by bucket diggers and gravel being poured, so not as restful as we had hoped. However it looked short term so if you are not travelling in the near future this shouldn't be a problem. The ritual toiletries in the bathroom were lovely. The hotel is a little way from the centre but only a short walk to this nearest tram stop and a pleasant 15min walk to Aker Brygger in the evening. Our biggest disappointment was vegetarians are not well catered for. On arrival we were told that dinner choices for the evening were chicken or meatballs. I asked about the vegetarian food and was told there was salad. So I had salad leaves and cold pasta with pesto and bread. The second night was meat chilli but chicken had been mixed in with the pasta salad so we couldn't even eat that so we ended up eating out in Akker Brygger which was expensive. We were disappointed with this as there was a sign in the dining room suggesting all diets would be accommodated and we had made it known we were vegetarian. Other than that, this is an attractive hotel, with nice staff just not for us due to the food options and perhaps the distance out of town.
