Super trevlig personal i receptionen, incheck och ut check gick smidigt. Fint och mycket bekvämt rum samt välstädat och fräscht. Medelmåttig frukost. Bra gym, läget på hotellet är oslagbart.

Veldig hyggelig betjening og veldig god service underveis i oppholdet. Fine treningsfasiliteter som fremsto rent og ryddig. Rent og pent rom, god seng og bra sengetøy. Det som dro opplevelsen ned var frokosten, den svarte ikke til forventningene og fremsto som nokså ordinær. Rundstykkene var smakløse, ikke spesielt godt utvalg av brød og annet pålegg sammenlignet med andre hoteller i denne prisklassen.

Wonderful staff. One of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in many fine hotels. The staff was exceptional, especially Marcus. Lovely amenities and beautiful condition and attention to detail in every way. Clearly management has very high expectations for top service, beautiful common areas and rooms, especially well done breakfasts, even the flower arrangements were special. Location good and parking was a breeze. We will definitely stay here next time we go to Oslo.

Både mottakelse og service var helt topp fra jeg kom til hotellet. Som gammel "kunde" ble jeg gjenkjent ( minst 6 år siden sist). Fikk oppgradert nyoppusset rom ,og bagasjen levert :) Frokosten var også førsteklasses. På Theater Cafeen om kvelden var det som vanlig god atmosfære. Vi ( 8 personer) fikk topp service og svært god mat. Kan nevne at jeg hadde booket parkering . Den var ikke billig ,men mye billigere enn på nytt hotell på Solli Plass!- Hotellet kan anbefales derom en ønsker sentralt hotell med god komfort

Sad to give such a nice hotel a low rating, but one of the primary functions of a hotel is a place to sleep and you cannot do that here before 3am due to the loud thumping bass of the bar music across the street from the hotel. I can sleep through almost anything, but this one was tough since it is t the conversations or the music but the bass thumping that is coming up. It was louder than my white noise app and did not stop until 3am. Facilities, location, and service are excellent here—just a noise issue

This hotel is very well-appointed with a helpful staff. The problem (hence 4 instead of 5 stars) is that it is like 2 hotels. The first night my room faced a major turnaround that has the constant (all night) noise of trams - it has a turnaround for them in addition to being along tram lines. If you want a quiet place to street you need to ask NOT to face this street. After a sleepless night I asked to change rooms and was put in a very quiet room facing the courtyard. At that point it was an exact opposite experience. Apart from that, the hotel is extremely well-appointed in terms of amenities in the room - and the on-site restaurant is lovely. It is near a harbor with lots of shops and restaurants, as well as the National Museum. All in all, the experience was terrible the first night, but turned wonderful as soon as I changed to a much quieter location.

The beds were incredibly comfortable and the pillows were the best we have ever used. The hotel is right downtown and close to all important things in Oslo. We have been all over the world and this might be our favourite one! Too bad we were only there for one night. It is pricey but for us worth it! My wife especially liked the brunch.

If you have forgotten what great service in a traditional hotel is like come to the Hotel Continental. Everyone from the front desk to the dining room could not be more kind and helpful. When I mentioned that we were going to the floating sauna on the Oslo fjord, Anna at the front desk offered to have towels and water ready when we left. So thoughtful and made a big difference at the sauna. She also offered a room upgrade without my asking. Similarly the hostess in the breakfast room could not have been more pleasant and helpful. BTW the breakfast was among the best I’ve had in any first class hotel anywhere. All in all it was a great stay that significantly added to our stay in Oslo.

Came in late at 9pm and was trying to book . The staff said unfortunately we cannot book you because the booking office is closed . So i told her its ok i will book thru third party and she looks like she was not happy abt it and even told me “ it takes a while for it to go thru” this staff never gave me option .We felt discriminated and helpless . Luckily we know other options . She needs to be trained more and possibly never judge a person and treat them equally .

Our room was facing the Main Street and as such received all the noise (even during night) of the buses coming back and forth. Noise control windows are very much needed. On the positive side front desk service, and attention from all staff was great. Breakfast deserves a special call out: very good! Finally the hotel location is very central and has easy access to public transportation.
