This hotel has an old world charm about it reflected in the decor. The rooms were of typical european standard, comfortable and clean. Go for the room rate that includes breakfast, it is a great spread and will keep you going for most of day.

The only good thing about this hotel is it's central location and friendly restaurent/bar staff. I have had several long stays at this hotel over the past two years. The menues are very limited never change and they are simply unable to cater for anyone with a aspecial diet, no vegetarian food at all. The breakfast buffet is good, but... More

Rarely I stay at a hotel in my hometown, but after a night at Bristol, I will consider doing just that more often. Large, clean room, beautiful bathroom, fantastic beds, best breakfast around, and very kind and helpful staff. And the atmosphere in the lobby area, with bar and café, is just great. Only upgrade needed is to throw out... More

We spent only one night here but never the less it was a great stay, easy to find, centrally located, the friendliest reception ever, intact all the staff where friendly and helpful, bed really comfortable, room a tad cluttered, but did not detract from the stay.

I would love to give the Bristol 4 stars, but I am afraid on my experience, I cant. First the good points: (1) centrally located (2) rooms are a good size (3) reasonable breakfast (4) staff are courteous (5) beds very comfortable However, ranged against this (1) my room had a window the size of an arrow slit on a...

Spent the last week here and I can't recommend it highly enough. Great welcome at reception, so polite, so helpful, such a great start to a trip and it stayed that way the entire time we were there. The room, was great. If I have one tiny complaint it was that the bed was too soft, and this was tough... More

Good location close to the centre of town. The public areas are beautiful which results in them attracting a lot of non guests. Lets itself down a little on the rooms which are only average. Breakfast good. But overall good value for money.

Fantastic art deco hotel 10 minutes walk from oslo central station. (slightly uphill). You can get a bus if required or the airport bus. A pleasant walk though from station if not too much luggage. The service was impeccable, staff professional, helpful and friendly. Beautifully maintained in art deco style. Buffet breakfast great, large selection and plenty of food. Dinner... More

We were lucky to get a very good price deal at the Hotel Bristol, Oslo, as it could be an expensive option. It is very central, within walking distance of all major sights and attractions. The underground and bus stops are very near, and the FlyBus to the airport stops across the road. The hotel has character - not one... More

We stayed at the Bristol a weekend in February 2012. After reading the reviews on Tripadvisor we called in advance and asked for a silent room, which was ready for us when we arrived. The room was spacious, and the classic furniture (dark wood and velvet) was comfortable. The staff was, as expected, competent, effective and extremely serviceminded. As mentioned... More
