Clarion Collection® Hotel Folketeateret

Stayed here several times. Central location with a lot of restaurants and shopping opportunities near by. Rooms can be a bit pricey depending on the time of the year and how long before your stay you make your reservation. Excellent breakfast with a good choice of hot and cold dishes. The free afternoon dinner can also be ok, but the options are more limited. Rooms have good or ok standard, some are small, while others are larger. Stayed at the deluxe room last time, with good space and a nice balcony. Separate bathroom and wc.

This hotel is probably the friendliest I've ever stayed in. From the kind welcome we received to the fantastic food that was on offer, we really enjoyed our stay. Our room was quite small and there wasn't much space for our luggage but this didn't really concern us. The beds were extremely comfortable, clean and the bathroom had a heated floor! The Rituals shower gel and soap were lovely and a real treat for us. The breakfast was amazing with fresh bread available every morning. The dinner in "the lounge" was also filling and tasty. It saved us a lot of money. The free coffee was a fantastic addition as it meant we could fill up our reusable mugs before going out in the morning. The location is good too. The rooms were a bit too warm sometimes even after adjusting the thermostat but I think that's a good thing in winter! I think it might be a problem in summer time though. I would definitely stay here again and loved the experience!

The hotel is designed for short stays. We were there for a week and it was a struggle to store lug and space for clothes as insufficient. The room, a standard queen bed was small. The hotel focus was art and it has interesting artwork and sculptures. The public rooms were good and a necessity given the room size. Breakfast was high quality but the omelette bar was spotty as sometimes it was staffed by cooks with no experience. The rooms have no telephones. You download and app to communicate. If the people on duty are engaged, it works well. If they are not it lets the people ignore everyone. The person that helped check us in was an unengaged one and did the minimum. Maintenance is also spotty - some good and some learning. Broadcast staff are friendly and very good. An interesting concept that requires engaged preople to make it work.

This is my second stay at a Clarion hotel in Oslo and one thing is for sure is that the beds are unbelievably comfortable. This is an important feature especially for a business traveler which will probably need to utilize the sleep time to the maximum. The hotel is in a prime location 5 minutes walk from central station. Also the theatre building has some nice bars and restaurants in the passage on the street level. The hotel offers Superb breakfast and light dinner are including at a very decent rate. Rooms are rather small - I booked a double room and it was not as big as I thought. Also there was no safe and electrical kettle which should be basic. Can’t wait to come back.

Rooms are clean and functional (but lack a bit of storage space) and you are very central in Oslo. Reception staff were helpful and happy to advise on actvities. Breakfast is very good and boasts a huge variety of offerings from svaoury to sweet and freshly made. The hotel and chain seem to be keen to limit their environmental impact and offer healthy food, and that showed at breakfast. good coffee! The coffee/ cake during the afternoon and the dinner that are included in the room rate were very good and at least to a large degree freshly prepared. Only on the first day seemed the one poor person managing the lounge area be overwhelmed during dinner, but that was certainly the hotels mistake given how many people were there. I would probably stay here again if I go back.
