Clarion Hotel The Hub

The location to all attractions and the train station.

Nothing

The location was amazing, a stones throw away from the train station, which was essential to my trip. The breakfast was the best from all the hotels I've stayed in. The hotel room was fantastic. But the quality was beyond what I expected. The rest of the hotel was also beautiful, from the lobby to the restaurant/bar on the top floor.

The shower head in my room wasn't fitted correctly, so excess water would run over the shower head. But I wouldn't say it ruined my experience. If anything it was still better than the other hotels I stayed at. Breakfast did seem a tad busier on the weekend.

Clean and modern facilities. Coffee machine in the room. Good location very close to Oslo train station. Staff were very helpful.

A little noisy from the street below, even with the windows closed.

The breakfast was good with a wide variety of things done well. But the room was too crowded and loud with families. Not a relaxing environment at all.

Basically it’s at the level of Holiday Inn in terms of the rooms, but as it’s Oslo, cost me $400 a night. Very basic room, in almost same layout and size as Holiday Inn level chains. Shower had low pressure. Slow uncomfortable showers. I needed two beds as traveling with son and she type rooms only on street side if hotel which meant a lot of street (tram) noise. Dried blood on newly changed sheeting. Cleaners quickly changed it but should have been noticed. Aircon only a centralized air circulator with minimal ability to set ourselves, and always too cold on this trip. Hotel is right next to Oslo main station which is convenient but means it’s a very packed area of the city and quite a grind if staying more than a night or two. Swimmimg pool is tiny - a round plunge pool only. Sauna was broken. Gym small. All in windowless basement.
