Comfort Hotel® Børsparken

This is a central hotel right by Børsen, central and close to everything. Our room was nice and clean, only minus is that it weren't possible to open the windows. But there is a good aircondition system, so that is okay. Good size of the bathroom, Soundproof rooms, friendly staff and good service, good breakfast in the lobby area with operat roof as view.

The location of this hotel is great. Really close to the train station, across the road from the Opera House and lots of restaurants and bars nearby. The hotel has a green approach, rooms aren’t cleaned unless request (we stayed for three nights, so this wasn’t an issue). If you would like new towels, you have to go downstairs and ask at reception. On Saturday and Sunday, the breakfast was incredibly busy, difficult to get a seat, and very busy around the buffet. Staff on the whole were friendly.

Hotel is as advertised. Nothing special, but a quiet and clean place to sleep. We enjoyed and appreciated the variety at breakfast. Great location close to the fjord, where you can have a wonderful sauna experience!

I've stayed at this hotel a number of times over the years during business trips to Oslo. Last week (Oct 2 - 6, 2022) was my first experience with BED BUGS. I was thoroughly attacked by the critters during my sleep, waking up around 4am covered in welts and feeling like my skin was on fire. I notified the hotel and was moved to a new room -- however, no assistance was offered in terms of disinfecting my clothes or luggage. They didn't offer a refund or, really, an apology. I had to dump everything I brought with me in the garage on arriving home and spent 2 days running my clothes through a dryer on high heat, cleaning and heating all of my packed plastics etc. So, be warned! This hotel has bed bugs and if you end up in the wrong room, they will not do much to assist you.

We spent three nights at this hotel and while it wasn't terrible we would not choose to go back. The rooms are small and have minimal furnishings. There is nowhere to unpack and little place for relaxing or working. We did appreciate having a view of the Opera House but the extra money we paid for a balcony was wasted as the balcony had no furniture. The breakfast was fine; we did not have a problem finding a seat though others we saw did. The only 'extra' in the lobby is water; other snacks and drinks must be purchased. The staff was uneven. On our arrival day the people at the front desk were quite rude, later staff were pleasant. One note - though Oslo is a very safe city, the area around this hotel attracts what homeless population we saw in the city (there seems to be a drop in clinic there). While we never felt threatened, we did have to change our route near the hotel to avoid unwanted attention. Some travelers might prefer not to have to deal with this. We saw many other hotels in the area and think they would be a better option.
