On every test this hotel ticks all the boxes. Location 85 metres from the National Theatre airport train (flytoget) and at the Palace/new wharf end of the CBD. You will be able to walk to almost every major attraction including the tourist office around the corner. The hotel itself is quaint without compromising on what is expected. The iconic cafe... More

I was a guest at the Hotel Continental for one night. It was a great experience. The hotel is across the street from a subway stop and a short walk from the Central Station. If your goal is to be in the center of it all you cannot find a better situated hotel. From the moment I stepped through the... More

May 2013. Billed at 5 star, but the breakfast room, decor and food in general is not 5 star compared to other 5 star hotels I've stayed in. The bar menu is limited and only available at certain times, the decor is old fashioned and there is no spa or pool. Staff service is 5 star though! Nice bath products

The Continental in Oslo is well worth the extra money to stay there. The beds are extremely comfortable and the linens and towels are exquisite. The art work around the hotel is stunning. The location is fantastic. Our favorite restaurant was the Theatre Cafe. Everything was prepared perfectly and the presentation of the food was beyond compare. Reservations are necessary!... More

Decided to stay at the Continental in Oslo for my stay and came out feeling that it wont be for the last time. From my experience most hotels in Norway cost alot, and the hotels are an average 3 stars tops compared to other European countries. The Continental in Oslo does not fit into that description, the location is great,... More

Charming old hotel. Nice, helpful staff. I really enjoyed the Theatre Cafe, which as a great high ceilinged room as well as a nice mix of fancy and casual fare. However the room was so small it was amazing. with my suitcase open there was literally not room to walk around the bed on the way to the bathroom.

One of the best hotels in down town Oslo. We had booked a suite and had a great stay a week-end in november. You have everything right outside the hotel - shopping, theatre, cinema, Aker Brygge. And the restaurant in the Hotel - Eik Annen Etage - is definetely worth a visit.

One of the legendary old hotels in Oslo. Excellent location, but at the price you'd expect a bit more. Rooms are clean, nice, normal size and the beds are very comfortable. The only bad part was the breakfast buffet with a limited selection, not too fresh food, and the fact that they start removing everything exactly on time instead of... More
