A good stay for one day on Oslo
Location is great, overall good service, breakfast is unbelievable (and offsets the price of the room, eating in Norway, as probably everything else is rather expansive. Easy way to airport: taxi, depending on the time of the day may be anywhere between $110 and $150. We took a bus on the way to the hotel, which was something like $30 a ticket, the buss stop is right around the corner; and an express train on our way back to the airport (5 min walk) which was even cheaper and faster (20 min). You may find a cheaper place to stay somewhere outside of the city center, but this was great accommodation for 3 people visiting Oslo for one day.

Fantastic location
The Rica Victoria sits right between the two main hubs of Oslo - a not even five-minute walk from both the harbor and Karl Johan’s Gate. Unfortunately there was a torn-up lot across the street from the entrance that visually detracted from the immediate surroundings, but that paled in comparison to the convenience. I would absolutely stay there again. I had a small room that hadn’t been upgraded like the ones pictured on the website, but it was still very clean and comfortable, and it had a street view that allowed me to open the window - a huge perk as I arrived in the middle of a killer July heat wave. The hotel’s air conditioning could have been better - but that could have been said for the entire city that week! Norway doesn’t deal well with mid-90’s heat and humidity.
Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks
The Rica Victoria sells the Oslo Pass - if you’re visiting Oslo as a tourist, get one... Oslo is extremely expensive, and the pass will save you a lot of money. You can buy passes for 1, 2 or 3 days, and it will give you free transport on the buses, trams, ferries and metro, plus free admission to most of the museums - and there are a LOT of museums in Oslo. I went to at least 17 of them, and they were all free with the Pass. (Don’t miss the Viking Ship Museum.)

Best oslo city centre location!
This is my second time staying that the hotel. It is definitely a very good deal considering the location and high cost of living standards in oslo! Rooms are clean and decent with free internet access. Hotel is located just 5 mins walk to Aker Brygge, the shopping/dining area by the harbour, and also 5 mins walk to the main shopping area. I definitely recommend this hotel to others
