Hotel Bristol

Top 6% of hotels in Oslo

7 / 10

“Set in the commercial core of Oslo, 1 block north of Karl Johans Gate, the Bristol is warm, rich with tradition, and comfortable.”

– Frommer's

Concierge

"This lively spot is hipper and cheaper than the Hotel Continental and the Grand Hotel, if a little less luxurious."

Late-night noise from the street has been known to aggravate visitors—light sleepers should request a room at the back of the building.

Lonely Planet

"Hotel Bristol is the one of the best top-end hotels in Oslo, with delightful, stylish rooms that come with polished floorboards, period furniture, bathtubs (some rooms) and most modern luxuries." Full review

Most guests prefer rooms that overlook the bustling streets surrounding the hotel and not the ugly interior light well, though temperamental sleepers might prefer to face inward to avoid the noise of several nearby nightclubs.

DK Eyewitness

"Dripping in traditional elegance, the hotel’s Library Bar and Wintergarden is a popular meeting point, and the Bristol Grill offers both international and Norwegian dishes."

Star Service

"This seven-story structure adorned in gables, dormers and dusty-rose stucco is a picture of Edwardian England in the heart of Oslo." Full review

However, if possible, request a new room, as these have superior furnishings and a more up-to-date look that still manages to honors the hotel’s past.
