"Everything was perfect"

Clarion Hotel Oslo Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were excellent at check in ensuring we had a packed breakfast (since we left before breakfast started) and offering dinner reservations due to a full hotel. Room was a good size with nice shower, mini fridge and comfortable bed. Shuttle from airport runs until 1am and starts leaving hotel at 330am. Shuttle does cost 80NOK each way. They do provide coffee and tea in lobby but sadly no take away cups for early mornings."
