Clarion Hotel® The Hub

We took in at The Hub on Friday and were over until Saturday. Great atmosphere at the hotel, the room met expectations and breakfast tasted fantastic. We also had a late check-out and got off to a comfortable and quiet start on Saturday.

Terrible music blasting everywhere so it's impossible to think or carry on a quiet conversation or, god forbid, get some work done. The room is nice enough, but no desk. Dim lighting. So for a business trip it's lousy. No hooks anywhere, but plenty of drawer space if you plan to stay a while. The street noise on a weekend is raucous. Very nice shower, comfortable bed. But scary statue of a teddy bear head mounted on the wall was alarming. Green option to tell housekeeping to skip your room. Toilet has two buttons, as all do, and on the smaller one is a sign saying 'use me and save 2 liters water...' but the button doesn't work. So you have to use the bigger one and feel bad about wasting water.

This hotel is amazing. Located in the heart of Oslo, it is within close walking distance to Oslo Central station, Oslo Spectrum and many wonderful restaurants and attractions. The rooms are comfortable and stylish. The bars are lively and cater to you. I will definitely come back to stay here.

Nice large room with 2 wide single beds. Comfortable sleeping. Very good roof top restaurant and bar with great view. Smool pool but for quick morning swimming it is more than enough. Possibility to borrow a robe and slippers. Great selection of food for breakfast.

Great central location and room was well equipped with TV, fridge, iron and ironing board. Plenty of toiletries provided but towels were thin. Comfortable bed but room lacking in wardrobe space. Pillows are very large and there is limited table and desk space. Hard to avoid water spray on bathroom floor when showering and traffic noise from Trams was heard at night. Buffet breakfast provided plenty of variety although some of the hot items were cold. Strong wi fi and no password required, The Hotel is new and modern and lift operation is very different, as they operate externally before entering the lift via card swipe.
