    Clarion Hotel Royal Christiania, Oslo

    This four star hotel is perhaps somewhat arge impersonal, but it is bright, well-maintained and well run.

    It was built to house the officials in the 1952 winter olympics, the only time that a Capital city has hosted them.

    As such it has the best location in town - right in the centre, opposite the central station.

    The rooms are comparatively large, and although decorated in quite minimalist browns still looks a little dated from whenever the last re-fit was.

    The hotel is basically triangular with a large , if covered, courtyard where meals are taken. If is fine for buffets and the superb buffet breakfast, but hardly appropriate for any kind of romantic intimacy.

    The only other real minus point I could find was the 'swimming pool' - which you could hardly drown a rat in.

    Clarion Hotel Royal Christiania: Great Hotel for a Weekend Getaway    Check Rates

    • Stayed at the Christiania during this 2005-2006 New Year's Weekend. We stayed three nights @ 99.00 euros per room p/n (thru Hotels.com)

    The hotels is located immediately across the road from the Central Railway Station in downtown Oslo. You'll find everything pretty much within walking distance. In case you don't like walks: there's a subway station entrance next to the hotel.

    Our room was comfortable, spacious and clean. We may have gotten a (junior) suite for the price of a standard room. We don't know for sure.

    Overal decoration: very modern, very Scandinavian.

    The complimentary breakfast is not to be missed! Delicious.

    We took the subway (1) to the skiing area(s). The ride took some 25 minutes. Great for cross country skiing. "Less" for downhill skiing.

    Stayed two nights. Staff very helpful in accomodating health requirement and providing Oslo Card. Originally built as part of Olympic Village for 1952 Winter Olympics, now a Deluxe hotel. Right at T-Bane stop. Good shopping right next door for Norwegian woolens

    Authentic koldtbord (smorgasbord) served nightly in central atrium -- who knew there were so many ways to serve herring -- all tasty. Copious breakfast buffet. Rooms at the front have view over the Jernbantorget and the Oslo fjord; room in back more ordinary city view.

    Modern 4-star hotel in the city centre, very close to the main railway station.

    Their standard weekend rate of NOK990/night is reasonably competetive, but with the Nordic Hotel Pass (€10) the 3-nights for the price of 2 offer makes it pretty good value in the 3 and 4-star category.

    The rooms are comfortable, if a bit functional. Some of them have internal windows looking onto the atrium with its huge Norwegian flag.

    Clarion Royal Christiania is a large hotel (508 rooms!) situated very close to the central railway station (Oslo S) and the bus station. Very convenient, whether you're arriving by plane, train or bus - and also a good location for exploring Oslo.

    We had booked a standard double room, but were upgraded to what the receptionist described as "a very nice business class room". Our room (#912) was indeed very nice, it even had a small balcony (which is quite useless, as there aren't any chairs out there, or anything at all, really!). We had a corner room, with large windows and views towards Oslo central station, the brand-new opera house and the harbour. (Some of the rooms face the inside atrium of the hotel.) Our room was modern, bright and spacious - it had a smallish work desk, table and three chairs, and a surprisingly narrow double bed. Nice bathroom, even a bathtub (many Norwegian hotels have shower only). Amenities included tea and coffee making facilities, TV with a decent selection of channels, mini bar and free WiFi. (Get an access code from the reception, each code only lasts 8 hours)

    The breakfast buffet at Royal Christiania is excellent - and served in the bright and airy atrium of the hotel. All Choice hotels have, since Feb 1st this year, offered lots of organic foods at the breakfast buffet - and Royal Christiania is no exception: organic cheese, eggs, crispbread, cereals, milk, fruits, salad and sausages, amongst other things. Brilliant! You'll find that the organic products are marked with a green and yellow Ø (organic = økologisk in Norwegian :o) Some hot foods are also available (bacon and eggs, fried potatoes, sausages...).

    The hotel has a tiny swimming pool, gym facilities and sauna - but I didn't try 'em out. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend this hotel.
