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

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

Michelin Guide "Converted apartment block near Karl Johans Gate."
Frommer's "In a carefully restored 1890s town house, the privately owned Saga is tucked away in a rare quiet corner of Oslo, is run on eco-friendly lines, and exudes a tranquil air of calm." Full review

"The mid-range Park Inn by Radisson Oslo is a three-minute walk to shops and restaurants on Karl Johans Gate." Full review
Frommer's "It has simply fitted-out bedrooms in bright, primary colors but its main attraction is its brilliant location a few steps away from the Oslofjord waterfrontt, as well as the bars and cafes" Full review

Aim to book a room on a higher floor because the late-night rumbling of trams can disturb a good night's sleep.
