Clarion Hotel® The Hub

Well we have managed to stay there twice up to now and every time we are very satisfied. The location is amazing right in the middle of all the lovely things u can do. Room size are good compared to many of the Norwegian hotels, very clean lovely housekeeping team, if I remember her name it was Mary she was awesome and always left the room Spotless. And the people over there are just so happy and bubbly ... thumbs up to Paula and Sebastien amazing front desk personnel.. next time u pop in there look for the smiley positive woman standing there that’s probably Paula. They catered for all our needs and even when they were unable they offered an alternative. Breakfast is a kings and queens feast..

Worst hotel ever! Music / Event somewhere in the hotel so extremely loud that the walls and doors were vibrating. We were tired after a long day of sightseeing and couldn‘t relax or sleep :-( Very disappointing, we cannot recommend this place. Even after several complaints from guests from our floor the front desk did nothing and didn‘t care, so even after 11 p.m. we still couldn‘t sleep. So if you warnt to sleep DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL...

I have stayed three times, one night each time at this hotel. The location is very good, and close to the main railway station. The rooms are recently refurbished and up-to-date. Nice colours etc. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are, however, some irritating elements: The pillows are either far to small, or far to big. This may be the reason I am not sleeping very well. To save money/environment they do not have the usual small bottles with shampoo/conditioner. Thise are replaced by lager bottles that you have to ‘pump’ a numer of times just to get a small amount out. A detail, but very irritating. The selection at breakfast is very good. But the buffet is over such a large area that eating takes a long time. This problem is increased by a far too small plates. Could have been good, except these irritating details.

Electronic door locks don't self lock on exit. No obvious info how to lock. On returning to their room one guest found intruder there. The guy had been found in the hotel before but returned. Wife lost sleep worried about burglars afterwards. No secure door between conference rooms and guest bedrooms corridors. Card key for lifts, but bypassable via staircase up to floor 3. NO SAFE or telephone in room... Call reception by dialing international main number on your mobile (if you have signal). Coffee machine sited in poky little recess. Had to unplug it, lift it out completely to refill. On entry to restaurant for breakfast no one checked if we were actually guests or not. They did have non lactose milk available but not on display. Otherwise a clean modern hotel. Better security presence and a phone in room for emergencies would be an improvement.

Nice hotel with a remarable facelift located central in Oslo. Exeptional service in reception and by the room maid. Good facilities with two rooms for exercicing, stream swimpool, hot and turkis sauna.
