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.

Frommer's "If your heart is set on one of the Radissons, this hotel may come as a bit of a letdown. But its interior offers cozy comfort in spite of its foreboding facade." Full review
Fodor's "This modern business hotel occupies one of the city center's taller buildings, giving some top-floor rooms views of Oslo's rooftops."
Lonely Planet "This straightforward business hotel, located between Aker Brygge and Karl Johans gate, is more used to hosting businessmen than tourists."
DK Eyewitness "This modern hotel in the centre of Oslo has a glass atrium and rooms that all feature wooden floors, modern decor and furnishings, and city or atrium views."
Rough Guide "A large, modern hotel, just south of Karl Johans gate. Its two hundred spacious rooms have every convenience, and it’s justifiably popular with visiting business folk."
