Smooth check-in and great service. Rooms are a bit dated and needs an overhaul. No robes in the room which I found strange. Lovely restaurant and impressive breakfast. Beautiful hotel with great location. Love the interior in the common areas. Would stay again if the price is fair.

Our stay at the Hotel Bristol was outstanding. The public spaces are historic and beautiful and our room was well sized and very comfortable. The hotel is located in the center of Oslo making it easy to walk to most sights. The streetcar and metro are nearby if you need to go a little farther. They have an excellent breakfast buffet to ensure you are fueled up for the day.

Hotel Bristol had an absolutely fabulous breakfast though it can be a bit crowded at peak times. Our room was very clean and elegant- the property has a stateliness about it with dark wood and a cozy upper lounge. Very convenient to the tram and easy walk to the train station.
