Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, Oslo

Obwohl das Hotel aufgrund einer Veranstaltung in der Stadt überbucht war, ist das Personal ruhig geblieben. Statt dem bestellten Familienzimmer sind wir auf 2 kleine in der Nähe voneinander liegende Doppelzimmer ausgewichen, was nach anfänglichen Bedenken total in Ordnung war.Dankeschön an Kaia von der Rezeption für die guten Tipps etc.Den Blick auf Oslo aus der Bar im oberen Stockwerk sollte man auf keinen Fall verpassen. Einzig das Schwimmbad ist ein wenig klein bemessen für die Anzahl der Zimmer im Hotel.Aber wir sind ja gekommen, um Oslo zu erkunden.

I hade some trouble with the bathtub in my room, so they gave me an upgrade. From floor 4 to 18. What a view.

I mistakenly booked a wrong radisson, all my other colleuges were in the correct one. but as i booked through Hotel.com insteas of direct with Radisson, they could not change my booking to the correct one, which is very inconvenience and costly to going back and forth between the 2 hotels. prob reconsider my booking througt third party next time.

We booked king size bed on Hotels.Com but were given a small double in a very tired room next to the lift. When I queried was told king bed is only a preference. Having said this she did then agree to move us. Tried to use the 25% off from Hotels.com for one food or drink, only to be told you could only use it on soft drinks and only if you have those drinks with food. They seemed to be making up the rules as they went. Drinks in the sky bar ridiculously expensive and only 40 ml measures. Six drinks cost sixty pounds. Impossible to get temperature right in the bedroom. I will try somewhere else next time in Oslo for sure. Most of the staff were nice and friendly and professional though.

Breakfast was excellent and well worth the 159k as children went free, they have a full buffet and continental breakfast that is expertly kept stocked. Family rooms were 1 king bed, 1 pull out sofa bed. The bed was lovely and comfortable but the sofabed mattress was thin and you could feel the metal bars through it. Maybe having 2 queen beds in family rooms would be beneficial. The balcony rooms lead out to a rooftop garden and was great for extra breathing space if the children wanted to stretch their legs. The bathroom was recently upgraded and had a lovely walk in shower. There was no bath as stated. The pool facilities were good, the changing facilities each had a sauna room. The bar food was good, ask if any specials on as the staff although friendly at the bar seem inexperienced. The hotel is ideally located in the city. You can see the hotel from most locations so it’s easy to find your way back. For a family of six this was a ideal fit for us, we would stay there again without hesitation.
