Oslo - Southern Norway Mountain Vacations

Great hotel but everything costs extra! I bought my trunks and picked the hotel for its pool but nothing is free in here so expect to double what you think something costs and then double it 3x more. I was going to park my car but they even charge a crazy amount for that every day, annoying as its way to steep to walk. Staff were great.

The location is quiet and historic, by the large ski jump used in the Olympics years ago. And on a hill above Oslo. It is near (walkable) a train into the city for commuting. There are very many lovely and cozy public areas to curl up by a fire, and even a library. The included breakfast buffet was very good with many hot and cold choices. The reception staff, especially Tommy, who checked us in, was very friendly and helpful. He even led us a short distance to show us the stairs. There is a sauna, but the outdoor pool, which was still open Sept. 12, was too cold for swimming. Our room had a spacious outdoor area. This is a fine hotel and less expensive than in central Oslo.
