The hotel is beautiful. The location is top notch. The breakfast is the best in Norway. Best of all was the service. The concierge, Tarik, was extraordinary. He walked by bag to the tram station, gave us wonderful advice about restaurants and even went out of his way to find my Kindle that I had left behind. I wish I knew the names of some of the other front desk and restaurant workers. They were all exceptional.

We absolutely loved our five nights here. The bed, sheets and comforter and pillows were very comfortable. The hotel is classy and well run. It’s in a good central location to walk to most things. The breakfast was one of the best we have had. And the French fries and lunch portions are delicious and very large portions.

Very elegant hotel, rooms clean and comfortable (ave size for europe) with down feather bedding. The air-conditioning worked OK and the bathroom was average size but nice heated floors and the shower stall had full enclosure which is usually not the case for Europe. The breakfast is outstanding. Many choices from cheeses to eggs to breads. They're renovating the dining room, which was beautiful inside so the breakfast is in the ballroom. Very good blackout drapes and the front desk service is very friendly and accommodating. Location is very good, easy walk to anywhere in the main city. Note, to lock the door, you must use the key after exiting!

A Classy Old World Hotel in Oslo! We stayed at the Hotel Bristol in May 2026 en route to a National Geographic Lindblad trip to Svalbard. Our room had an ingenious shower (see photo) with the glass doors folding back into a triangle to make more room in the bathroom sink area when not using the shower. This writer has stayed in a whole heap of hotel rooms, and I have never seen one like this before with such a clever way to create more room in the bathroom. The room itself is nicely appointed in turquoise and chartreuse green, with the carpets and bedspread coordinating nicely. We enjoyed the delicious dark chocolates in the room set out for us. The room was dark, quiet, and nicely temperature controlled at night. We were impressed with these accommodations, and we would stay here again, should the conditions arise.

The Bristol is an elegant step back in time where the accent is on service. Conveniently located in the heat of Oslo the sauna, the snow room ( yes snow room!) where you enter a 3 degree room and have small snow flakes fall from the ceiling. About 3-5 min in there is enough to encourage you back into the warm plunge pool. The room are nice & generously sized, Tarik the concierge sees that nothing you want or need is neglected & the breakfasts are excellent. The main restaurant is well known for their steak & turbot dishes.

Lovely hotel, central location and well equipped. Gym was excellent. Lots of food options including an amazing array for breakfast. Staff were super helpful, and the rooms were high quality with lots of extras you would hope for from a 5 star hotel. Excellent nights sleep and thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Hotel Bristol Oslo Review I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Bristol in Oslo, and I’m especially grateful to the staff for going above and beyond to help me after I made an error with my booking. Although I ultimately had to pay a higher rate for the night I stayed, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful in navigating the situation and making the process as easy as possible. The hotel itself is beautiful, and my room was exceptionally clean, with a very comfortable bed. The gym was also exceptional — honestly, one of the best hotel gyms I’ve experienced, especially for a relatively small hotel. The breakfast was another highlight, with a huge and impressive buffet and plenty of variety. The location was perfect for my short visit. I was only in Oslo for one day, and I was able to walk to many of the city’s major attractions and see a lot without needing transportation. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Everyone I interacted with was genuinely friendly and thoughtful. One small gesture especially made me smile: I left my luggage at the hotel before heading out for the day, and I had a large bottle of water with my things. When I returned, one of the staff members had put the water in the refrigerator so it would be cold for me. It was such a simple thing, but it perfectly captured the level of care and kindness I experienced throughout my stay. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Hotel Bristol. Thank you to the entire staff for being so welcoming, helping me rectify my booking mistake, and treating me with such kindness throughout my stay. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Oslo.
