Travellers praise Hotel Bristol for its historic charm, central location and welcoming staff, with many noting comfortable beds and quiet, well-kept rooms, while a number report downsides like warm rooms, occasional noise, and compact bathrooms.

Breakfast is repeatedly described as exceptional with a wide selection; some report peak-time crowding, brief seating times, or hot dishes served only warm, and note early closing hours for the bar or restaurant. A minority experienced inconsistent restaurant service, limited luggage assistance, or confusion and high costs around parking and electric-car charging. Facilities mentioned include a well-equipped gym and a spa that guests enjoyed or looked forward to. Expect a characterful stay with strong dining and service, but be mindful of heat, noise, and small bathrooms.

Har bodd på Bristol mange ganger. Denne gang ble det litt nedtur. Toalett som var delvis i uorden og ikke ville fylle seg. Dessuten var det fullt av støv i kleshylkene og jeg måtte vaske før vi ka inn klær. Redusert åpningstid i garasjen trekker også ned. Ikke mulig å få ut sitt kjøretøy før kl 0900 på søndag morgen. Upraktisk når man har planlagt avgang kl 0809.

The Hotel Bristol is a beautiful old hotel, we placed in the center of Oslo. The rooms are lovely, the breakfast is fantastic, great old-world charm. Very busy every afternoon with people having formal tea. Service is terrific in every area. My only complaint is that the 7th floor is unreachable by elevator. Our room was very nice, but we had to take the elevator to the 6th floor and then walk up stairs (with heavy bags) to get to our room. The hotel should provide porter service to anyone staying in these rooms and warn guests I only have one

This charming hotel is very central and an easy walk to the harbour and other tourist sites. Our room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was excellent in terms of the offerings with a good mix of local dishes. Only complaint was the hot food was only warm at best - the heat lamps did nothing. The gym was excellent. A good range of cardio equipment and free weights as well as some weight machines.

Breakfast was very good. What was not good is the cost of parking 550 NOK which is redicoulous. Also, they charge 200 NOK per day to charge your car, something that was not clear at all from their staff! Gave them the car almost full and asked them to charge it on the premise that it was a one time charge, to find out to my surprise that it is a daily charge. The night before checking out, I asked them to charge it so it is full when I drop it off at the airport, unfortunately they did NOT charge it and I only had enough to get me to the airport!! Their concierge at the time promised to call me to sort this issue and I never heard from him!! It is disappointing to have such bad service from a 4.5 star hotel!

Hotellet ligger centralt i Oslo nära metron och Karl Johans gate. Rummen renoverades ganska nyligen och har bra med ladd-alternativ, Chromecast vid TVn, och fräscha badrum med riktigt bra tryck i duschen. Frukosten serveras i fantastiska lokaler och allt görs på plats, färskpressad juice, bra äggröra med krispiga ögon, och nybakt bröd. En otroligt trevlig hotell-upplevelse på alla sätt. Enda klagomålet är kuddarna i sängen, de var för tunna och jag fick inget nackstöd när jag sov.

We only stayed one night at Hotel Bristol but wish it had been longer. Our room was spacious and clean with all of the amenities you could ask for, including lovely L'Occitane products in the bathroom. We were facing the street which was fine on a Sunday night, but I suspect it could be a bit noisy if a Friday or Saturday night. One small criticism is the pillows - they were so flat and not very comfortable. Recommend asking for a few extra if you are used to a fuller pillow. The breakfast buffet is one of the best we have had - so much choice and everything tasted incredible. We would love to return one day!

The staff go out of their way to make you feel at home at the Hotel Bristol, especially the Concierge, Tarik! Thank you, Tarik! The hotel is in the heart of Oslo and is close to so many things to see. The room was very comfortable, clean and quiet. The breakfast buffet, which was included in my room rate, was amazing! So many good and drink options in a beautiful dining area. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to have lunch or dinner in their restaurant, but from what I saw, the decor and the menu options are first class! You will love your stay at the Hotel Bristol!

A good experience as you'd expect from this old lady of a classic hotel. However.... a couple of details. Most of staff do not know anything about Oslo or Norway, only concierge can advise but his advise - super friendly - does not match our requests and is kind of wrong (even restaurant: we wanted a Norwegian fish restaurant, he sends us to a Mediterranean cuisin one). There is veery limited sitting area at the lobby, or rather there is no lobby per se. Breakfast very good, but staff feel it is necessary to say that you can stay in breakfast room only for 45 minutes (even when you enter is 30 minutes before closing time at 10am). Following rules...? But hospitality is more than "following rules"...

Great property! Excellent location, short walk from the central station, shopping district, palace and other monuments. Rooms are well presented and good size but I feel the bathrooms were small, toileteries are L’Occitane but not refilled regularly I presume, we had run out of shower gel, requested the house keeping but wasn’t done and they said they had run out of stock, twice complained at reception and finally it was refilled. Moisturiser also ran out but we had some of our own to use. The restaurant closes at 9pm and extremely limited choices so we had to dine out, the Bristol bar adjacent to hotel closes at 10pm sharp, not really ideal if you want to grab a drink post dinner & unwind. We had a rushed drink upon our arrival at the Bristol bar as the hotel bar was closed at 9pm. Upon our late arrival for check in into hotel we were advised room service was not available post 9pm so had to go hunting for food, luckily there is a deli close by so picked up some sandwiches. Staff at reception are helpfull mostly. Check in wasn’t the best experience with a wrong room number written on card so I had to come back down to find out the number written was incorrect. The restaurant is quite busy at lunch. A staff member at reception helped us book a ride back to the airport & very courteous. All in all a great property! Breakfast was fabulous, huge selection, loved it
