Clarion Collection® Hotel Folketeateret

Very nice hotel, well placed and people working there are very kind. The breakfast is various and very good! The staff is answering well to all questions and are very helpful. It was very nice to stay at the hotel!

The breakfast is the best I’ve ever had. I had booked a different hotel for my last few nights in Oslo but changed to this one when I stumbled upon the breakfast one early, jet-lagged morning. I wanted to take a video of the breakfast and send it back to my wife at home but didn’t want to be obnoxious. It’s mind blowing. I wasn’t expecting much for the “light evening meal” but it is more than substantial—I actually couldn’t believe how plentiful and tasty the evening buffet was—I thought I must be misunderstanding but no. And it’s served in a really pleasant atmosphere with lounge and terrace access. The gym is also one of the best I’ve encountered at a hotel this fairly priced. Even has a squat rack (assisted). I appreciate the practicality of this hotel: I was given one towel and a comforter only large enough for one person (I did think it was weird it doesn’t cover the whole width of the bed but it wasn’t a problem). If you’re like me and food and exercise are your top priorities then there’s nowhere else to stay in Oslo. It’s also located very near the central station and probably anything else you might want. If I’m ever back in Oslo this is Th e only place I’d stay.

the Breakfast was amazing and with a very good quality, you have also included in the price 2 buffet one during the afternoon and on during dinner . the style of the hotel is bit dark austere and severe , not really my thing, I prefer colors. the location is not the best but is in the city center and near the train station. At the end was a really good choice, I recommend it

August is a nice time to visit Oslo. Mild weather, low chance for rain and enough people but not crowded. We decided to give it a go and experience one more adventure. One of the main reasons I picked this hotel was the location. In the city centre, very near to the station but also in walking distance from many attractions. Before you go to Oslo keep in mind is very expensive but not unreasonably. A 30 mins ride from the airport costs around 150 pounds which in the UK would be just 20 pounds. So picking the train is a very wised decision unless if you can afford it. The train network is excellent and on time and you got two options to the city centre. The express one and normal one. If you want my opinion go for the normal train. Literally the difference is that you arrive at the same station 5 mins later and is cheaper. Keeping that in mind lets start with the hotel. Easy to find the entrance is within an old building. The reception was very helpful with the check in and it literally took 5 mins to finish the procedure. As you enter you will see they have a coffee machine which has a variety of coffees to chose from and hot chocolate and you can have as many as you have for free. Tea is also provided. What caught my eye was that they also have a check in option where you literally do it yourself, same with the check out and you do not have to interact with anyone. Have not seen that in other hotels but thought would choose the safe option which was the reception to do it. The hotel is huge, has 7 floors I thing and each floor has a lot of rooms. The room we were initially given was not as we would expect. Clean but very small and the lighting very low. Due to a problem that we faced as well we asked to change us. Straight away a new room was offered and was much better. What I understood is that the rooms at the top floors are bigger and better. I would advise to ask for one there when you visit and also ask to have big windows, will make a difference with the lighting. The room was cleaned every day. Only one day we came back at 16.00 and was not ready yet but we were leaving the next day so we did not bother. Small fridge inside, comfy bed and pillows, nice size shower. Another thing that caught my attention was the duvet . In a double bed instead of have a big double duvet they had two single ones. Considering I am a big person would prefer double one. A plus at the hotel the breakfast. Do not miss it and include it at your stay. Huge selection of anything you can imagine I think will leave you very very satisfied. I will not get into much detail cause it included everything, excellent quality food and fresh. Plus traditional Norwegian cheese, sausages, etc. Another thing to keep in mind is that you can ask for breakfast bag if you check out early hours. They had the best sandwich we ever had in breakfast bag, nesquick, a fruit and water. The station is 5 mins away. For those with early flight opens very early I think 04.00 on wards, Get your train tickets the day before and you will be at the airport without stress. Trains are regular. To sum up we had a good stay. Everything was near and we had no problems encountered. Give it a try is worth it to enjoy a pleasant city break.

The location of this hotel is excellent, very near the center of Oslo. The room however was very dark (the bathroom was particularly dark). There was no food in the room, but it compensated by the free coffee in the reception and restaurant. The dinner offer was very disappointing, with very little choice, quantity and quality. We arrived 2h before closure and already food was very scarce in abundance or completely absent. Don´t count on having a substancial dinner with the offer from the hotel. The space where dinner is served is quite small for the overall size of the hotel. Surprisingly, on the other hand, breakfast had a wide selection of various types of food and beverages and was resuplied quickly and served in a large space.
