 | |  |  | Clarion Royal Christiania: Excellent hotel close to Oslo S
|  |  | |  |
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.
