The hotel is excellent in every way. The building has a rich history, and the only thing I missed was seeing more of its historical significance highlighted. It is such a unique heritage that it deserves to be showcased more prominently to guests. The spa is a wonderful addition—small, but it has everything you need. The food is always excellent. In fact, I eat there every time I visit Oslo, whether I’m staying at the hotel or not.
