Michelin Guide "Beautiful... house in smart, residential neighbourhood. Peaceful atmosphere."
Frommer's "This member of the Clarion Collection chain may not be as first-class as its... brethren (the Savoy or the Bastion), but in some ways we prefer it because of its location." Full review
Concierge "Housed in an ivy-covered, five-story brick building that dates to 1921, the Hotel Gabelshus is a very elegant place to base yourself."
Lonely Planet "Choose between graceful modern rooms or natty old ones in this fine hotel set in a quiet neighbourhood where the only noise you're likely to hear is that of squirrels sleeping." Full review

DK Eyewitness "The ivy-covered Gabelshus is located in an exclusive residential area with beautiful townhouses, embassies, high-class restaurants and cafés all within walking distance."
Rough Guide "A good-looking, ivy-covered building dating from 1912, this attractive, medium-sized hotel stands in a smart residential area a couple of kilometres west of the city centre, off Drammensveien."
Fodor's "Built as a guesthouse in 1912, this chic boutique hotel is hidden behind an ivy-covered old-world English facade." Full review

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