Clarion Collection® Hotel Bastion

I never give 5 stars but this hotel deserves it, we are just back from 3 nights in one of the worlds most expensive city. This hotel does wonderful food and you have your breakfast and dinner included which is amazing as eating out is so expensive in Oslo. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The hotel is spotless and the location is dead centre. I would recommend not to stay anywhere else when you are in Oslo.

yet again we are very satisfied with the hotel, the room, the staff, the location and the food. dinner (buffet-style) is included and very good. we got a bigger room this time, the downside of that room (516) was that the shower was in the bathtub.

This is nowhere near a 4 star hotel. The reception area was cozy and the hotel was located fairly close to the Main Street. However, it became problematic when no one at the hotel understood what diary-free meant when asking during the breakfast buffet. I asked the reception as well as the breakfast staff who did not understand either Swedish/Norwegian or English properly. Which to me is pretty strange considering their four star grading. And especially even more bothering considering I informed the hotel prior the arrival about my allergies and diet. But at site, no one would help me. And the buffet did not look very vegetarian friendly, so I left the buffet hungry... The rooms were very standard and fairly decent. The overall room was big, however very small bathroom, poor lightning (impossible to do your make up anywhere), no full body mirror and no fridge/mini bar. If you're on a budget, then this hotel could be a good option if you'll find a good deal. But do not be fooled by the "4 stars"...

Great hotel, close to train station and city centre. A clean beautiful presented hotel, small room but this did not detract our stay, the down stairs lounge and free coffee/tea facilities and a bit of cake certainly welcoming. The staff inviting and friendly, responding to and engaging into banter that made you feel at home. The receptionist, Gesa, her banter made my day, really enjoyed staying. Great breakfast, my wife loving the selection. The Hop On Off bus stop is really close, the old fort and museum also walking distance. Going to Oslo, I strongly suggest checking out this hotel, I would definitely stay here again.

Price for one night is high, but this is Oslo. The hotel has a delicious food. Staff is very helpful and kind. Sauna is open, but only if you ask 15 minutes earlier. My night was disturbed by another guest who came back to hotel on 4am and was very loud :/
