Radisson Red Oslo City Centre

"Very trendy and funky Hotel in a great central location. it is supposedly a net zero Hotel. The staff are super friendly, and the bar is welcoming."

"We stayed here for four nights, and our first two nights were perfect. Sadly, during the last two nights, we were hit with a strong smell of smoke from our neighbor, and it wasn’t the usual cigarette smell either. If you are considering staying here, I would choose a room without a balcony. That way, you avoid the risk of being bothered by smoke, or getting a room that will probably smell like smoke in a few years! Some staff members were more service-minded than others, but they might have been new, as the hotel had only been open for three weeks when we visited. Minus: As a VIP member, I received no welcome card or amenities in my room. The breakfast room has some pretty tight spaces, mostly due to the chairs having very wide legs, but it somehow works, and everything is logically set up even when it gets crowded. It is not a smoke-free hotel if you have a room with a balcony, so you might have to keep your balcony door closed due to the smell of cigarettes and other substances. There were no mocktails available in the lobby bar. In both of our rooms, the bedroom mirrors should have been cleaned better as they had marks on them. Furthermore, the door handle in my room was about to fall off, and the napkin holder on the bathroom wall in both rooms had to be taped because it was just glued to the wall. To me, the beds do not live up to the usual Radisson quality; it was so soft that I had to put a pillow under my lower back to get comfortable. Lastly, the reception seemed a bit understaffed from time to time. Plus: The scented soaps in the room were great, and there was an empty, cold minibar available. Coffee and tea were restocked every day. The service regarding a birthday gift for my friend was exceptional, and the best we have experienced in Oslo so far. The hotel also has a great location, a good breakfast, and fluffy pillows. Additionally, they handed out fans and slushies in the reception during the heatwave. There were some booking issues but they resolved it very nicely."

"Overall the hotel is quite good. The location is just perfect (city center with easy connection to other parts of the city - tram, metro, buses). Within walking distance from the port and most museums. The hotel itself is clean, modern and comfortable. The room was ok. There were some details that should be improved (in this standard level). No water or even refillable bottle, air conditioning not working properly (quite hot), bathroom light switch situated by the room exit door. Pillows could be more comfortable and massive. As a premium Radisson Rewards member I was expecting some benefits, but instead I met quite rude receptionist, no offer connected with my status. The only things I am absolutely satisfied with is the breakfast - quite good choice, very tasty. In total - good hotel, perfect location, with some improvements needed in terms of the staff and service."
