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

"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."

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."

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.
Afar Magazine
"Elegant old Hotel Bristol is located in the centre of Oslo."

If you want to go more upmarket, you can ask for one of the junior suites or deluxe suites, among the best in the capital.
Star Service
"This boutique-hotel fits into the mold of Oslo's unique, small hotels that have personality and a sense of style."

There is enough variety so that people staying multiple nights will not get tired of it, although it seems many still choose to venture into town for something more substantial.

Upscale
"The upscale 99-room Clarion Collection Hotel Bastion brings English ambience to Oslo with afternoon tea, a lobby bar, free dinner, and a free breakfast in a sometimes hectic dining room."
