Clarion Collection Hotel Folketeateret

Very good located hotel Short walking distance from the main train station and 15-20min walk to the harbor areas. The hotel entrance is inside the mall/theater. Welcoming helpful friendly staff works there. It is a High quality place and design from the reception, restaurant and the rooftop terrace. Rooms are okay. Nice and you have there what you need. The service is amazing. Very good breakfast served in the restaurant For the afternoon they offer “fika” a break and coffee and cookies Than the dinner is served at the restaurant on the 7th floor. It is very delicious and every meal is different for each day.

Only two non-showstopper things the design made the room in my opinion too dark. Spotlights and dark walls and furnishings. The other thing again due to design that in the bathroom the glass separation wall is short. So during you get a shower you also make the whole bathroom floor wet. Not very nice solution.

Breakfast was amazing, really really impressed with it. Bed was one of the most comfy beds I've slept in. Room was clean, it's an attractive looking hotel and the location, opposite the central train station is superb. Views were good, checking in/ out was easy. definitely recommend

Mini bar was too expensive, even for Norway, the windows scare the pants off me - with two small children and windows that open outwards from the floor upwards (we were on the 9th floor), we decided to shut the curtains to remove the feeling of nausea

This hotel has the perfect location for travelers, 5' walking distance from the train station. It is also 10 steps away from the tram stop #12 which will essentially take you around the town connecting or stopping near the main points of interest (Anker Brygge, King's Palace, Vigeland, Akershus...). It is inside the entrance gallery of the Folketeatret, so you may be a bit disoriented, as we were, in looking for it. But it is in a cool place and also the architectural positioning is attractive. Very friendly staff, attentive to your needs and kind in fulfilling all requests. Breakfast is one of the highlights, the best we found in our 10 days travel in Norway. extreme variety, warm, cold, juices, fruits... anything you want... as much you want too. As an added benefit consider the fika and the dinner provided in the price. I have read other ratings with non complimenting notes for both... I have to disagree. We got it for 2 days and we were very satisfied. Fika around 4PM is a good break while walking around the town, sit, relax, get coffee/tea or some beverage, along with light food or some sweets. Dinners was varied (one night tacos the other was indian kitchen meal) offered both vegetarian and non vegetarian food, included a warm soup too. The serving team is always super supportive and kind to solve any request.

Overall fantastic hotel, very comfortable, right in the centre. Room for 3 was huge. Breakfast was divine and a lot to choose from. Tea and coffee at the reception 24x7 and also offers fica (cake and hot drink) between 3pm - 5pm. Rooms were clean too. Towels changed when needed.

The dinners: the hotel price proclaimed that dinner is included. Cannot imagine what happens when the hotel is full and how people eat dinner because it's offered in the lobby (a very small space for guests). Food is contrary to the breakfast as it's a flop. Everything finishes immediately, no space to get the food and there isn't much choice. One main dish, several sides and soup. The room: though huge, no space where to put out stuff from your luggage.

Best part of the hotel was the INCREDIBLE breakfast buffet. The selection of foods was incredible. Enough to fill you up so that you can skip lunch !Great location to the train station. Good value for the dollar considering it is Norway. Room was perfectly set up with everything I needed and was exceptionally clean. Easy check in process, great communication by staff. No issues and would highly recommend to any traveller.

The A/C did NOT work to American standards (barely cooled), so I was a bit hot (22c) and the room was small. But overall it did the trick for two nights in Oslo.

We loved our room - loads of space for us and 2 kids. Balcony was brilliant. The staff on reception were exceptionally helpful. Dinner is a buffet on 7th floor - we had Thai fish curry, rice and salad. There were chicken goujons and wedges but these were finished in the first 5 min and did not get refilled. We got breakfast bags as we were leaving early - these need pre booking if you need this. It was a ham and cheese sandwich, a yoghurt, an apple and a bottle of pineapple juice. Perfect for our train journey. Fika was great - it is a piece of cake and coffee / tea / hot chocolate.

Special thanks for the guy that worked at reception from 26 May 23:30 until 27 May. we were planning to overnight at the airport due to a lack of transport, but he explained and assured us that taking the train at 4:25 is still an option to catch the flight at 6:30 - and essentially saving our night rest a bit more. special thanks to him +1

I was a little bit dusty, but i think that because of the bed linen

Fantastic location, ideal as central to everything in Oslo. Meals were included and were of a very high standard, additionally giving a huge cost saving as food and drinks are so expensive in restaurants. Breakfast buffet was vast and genuinely the largest buffet selection we have come across anywhere. Brilliant service too. The evening meals were varied each night of our stay and the weekly menu was available to look at in the lounge. Loved this hotel and would definitely go back and totally recommend it.

The only real downside of this hotel is that 15m2 room is very small. The amenities in the room are 3 star hotel (e.g. space, no coffee machine, or water, no slippers) For one person is sufficient, but for couples, if not used to having a spacelly afficient room, I advise picking a bigger room. The bathroom is also spatially afficient, luckilly, there has been a little table under the sink to pull out and get additional space for placing things. Breakfast is excellent, as well as the location. Bed is great, soft. I asked for additional cover and in the evening it was on the bed. Reception staff is very kind and helpful. The bonus is the complementary dinner and coffee.

15m2, no slippers, not 1 bottle of water in the room, but then we found out the tap water is drinkable. There could have been a note.

super friendly staff, localisation was great, breakfast great - I am vegan and there was vegan cheese, even vegan meats, non dairy yoghurts and milks, fruits. I wasn’t hungry :) big plus for that!

the view from the window … tiny room : we came for 5 nights: one big suitcase and one small. we barely had place to lay it on the floor and open, there was not enough room. also no wardrobe .. some hangers only, but if you travel for more than 2 nights it might be uncomfortable having to open your suitcase and block the whole room. the bathroom was very big though, too big in my opinion. no space to put our cosmetic bags, towel hangers were above the toilet … I mean there was enough space to install them on the wall on the other side of the bathroom. someone who designed that didn’t think of functionality.
