Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, Oslo

Excelent service from check in staff especially Jan who was so helpful when are flight wa significantly delayed and then cancelled. He couldn't have been more helpful. Hotel is not right in the centre but a 5-10 minute walk but right by the Royal Palace. Fantastic trams all over the city are easy and quick. The hotel breakfast was superb with a really wide choice and excellent quality. Room was good and bathroom excellent. Beds were soft but comfortable and housekeeping was very good. The pool was lovely and the gym well equipped. The bar overlooking the city did have excellent views and had a great atmospere but seats could definitely have been more comfortable. An excellent hotel which we would definitely return to.

I hade some trouble with the bathtub in my room, so they gave me an upgrade. From floor 4 to 18. What a view.

I mistakenly booked a wrong radisson, all my other colleuges were in the correct one. but as i booked through Hotel.com insteas of direct with Radisson, they could not change my booking to the correct one, which is very inconvenience and costly to going back and forth between the 2 hotels. prob reconsider my booking througt third party next time.

We booked king size bed on Hotels.Com but were given a small double in a very tired room next to the lift. When I queried was told king bed is only a preference. Having said this she did then agree to move us. Tried to use the 25% off from Hotels.com for one food or drink, only to be told you could only use it on soft drinks and only if you have those drinks with food. They seemed to be making up the rules as they went. Drinks in the sky bar ridiculously expensive and only 40 ml measures. Six drinks cost sixty pounds. Impossible to get temperature right in the bedroom. I will try somewhere else next time in Oslo for sure. Most of the staff were nice and friendly and professional though.

Breakfast was excellent and well worth the 159k as children went free, they have a full buffet and continental breakfast that is expertly kept stocked. Family rooms were 1 king bed, 1 pull out sofa bed. The bed was lovely and comfortable but the sofabed mattress was thin and you could feel the metal bars through it. Maybe having 2 queen beds in family rooms would be beneficial. The balcony rooms lead out to a rooftop garden and was great for extra breathing space if the children wanted to stretch their legs. The bathroom was recently upgraded and had a lovely walk in shower. There was no bath as stated. The pool facilities were good, the changing facilities each had a sauna room. The bar food was good, ask if any specials on as the staff although friendly at the bar seem inexperienced. The hotel is ideally located in the city. You can see the hotel from most locations so it’s easy to find your way back. For a family of six this was a ideal fit for us, we would stay there again without hesitation.
