Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great variety and high quality ingredients. Oslo sights, museums, restaurants etc are spread out across the city so location was very good to access most of these within a short walk or bus trip. Also close to train station for access to airport (given Oslo expensive taxi rates).

Would be good to have one of the pools accessible without extra charge or booking.

The service is amazing, the space is beautiful and food is great

The rooms don't match the descriptions on booking, there are amenities missing

We liked the location. We liked the breakfast. We liked the quality of the bed, pillows and bedding, and the furnishings generally.

The room was not quite the same as in the picture and felt even smaller with two armchairs virtually blocking the doorways. There was no sofa (as per picture) and hardly any room to move around the bed. I wish someone stayed in our room for a couple days prior to offering it to clients - it felt a little 'style over comfort' to our liking. It is possible that we did not get the best of Delux rooms:(( There was no slippers (only flipflops!); there was no non-slip bathmat (requested in advance) - at £350 per night this should have been possible - and no hot towel rail; operating the lifts, doors and lighting was quite confusing. The TV options were quite limited with only two English speaking channels available.

beautiful interior design

For a modern hotel it needs USB charging points, also need to provide a waste bin other than in the bathroom, and English Breakfast tea bags.

The Sommerro is a wonderful gem of a hotel, in a wonderful gem of a city! It’s Art Deco personality suits the neighborhood, the location is a 5-10 minute walk from everything, there’s two tram stations within 100 ft from the front door that will take you anywhere in Oslo, the staff is super helpful, and the breakfast is one of the best ever. They also have a jazz band playing in their main restaurant on summer weekends to go with the Art Deco theme, and the downstairs pool is drop dead gorgeous. Room sizes are good for Europe, beds are comfy and there’s black out curtains fit the long summer nights, toiletries are luxurious, and there are plenty of nice touches to each room. Overall, a very well thought-out hotel!

That I couldn’t stay longer?

Very beautiful hotel and lovely staff. Our room was very small, but we loved our cubby hole twin beds with curtains, the single beds are really big and very comfortable. The breakfast buffet is superb. The location is great, very close to lots of attractions, and tram stop right outside the front door. Oslo is wonderful, stunning waterfront, Munch is a must see as well as museums peninsula and the Ferry journey.

We were disappointed that the gym didn't open until 8 despite the website saying 5am. It was also disappointing that the pool and sauna are extra cost.

Breakfast was outstanding. Menu items and buffet. Fresh and delicious food. Excellent service and coffee. Location excellent. Near boutiques and restaurants. Walk to center of town.

Wish we had known more about the swimming pool availability.

Breakfast fantastic with lots of Gluten free and dairy free options. In addition coffee was strong and black!

Waiter made a mistake ( added thousands of extra Norwegian kroners )on our bill and he wasn’t too happy when this was pointed out to him. Not impressed! This somehow went on to the final invoice where I had to again point out the mistake after payment had been taken off my credit card. I was informed that I would have to wait a few days for my money to be refunded back onto my card! This episode certainly took away from the overall positive experience of our stay. Do better!

The place was beautifully designed, the fitness center is top notch, I mean really good rivaling a pro gym. The rooms were clean, spacious and well designed. They have lots of restaurants, a cafe and spa facilities. Attention to detail was very good.

As many have said, they really need to include at least one pool free to people who stay there. Come on, even at a cheap Holiday Inn you get free pool access. Breakfast could be improved in terms of being able to get you own coffee instead of waiting for someone to pour you a cup, which can be a while when things get busy. Also the choices of hot dishes could be better.

The breakfast was great! Sumptuous—with such a wide variety of offerings. Only wish they had left a carafe of coffee to serve myself more when i wanted as the teacups are pretty small if you are used to having a full cup of coffee, and servers are pretty busy with other things!

I found getting around (way finding) in the hotel was a bit difficult—especially in the sauna and swimming pool area. I realize that you do not want to ruin the ambience and beauty of the interiors with lots of signs but something tasteful and small might alleviate some of the problems. I noticed a number of other customers also found the elevator operation challenging, that it was not controlled from the inside of the elevator....took a bit of getting used to.
