Hospitality is NOT our name
The Holmenkollen hotel has a great facade. When you drive up to the hotel the outside architecture is phenononemal, but when you get in the hotel it looks like a tired Ramada Inn. The personnel were the least friendly group of Service Industry personnel that I have come across. The bartenders acted as if we were uninvited guests that dropped in to their private home at dinner time. We could hardly place an order, since they were busy talking amongst themselves and having dinner in the room behind the bar. I do NOT recommend this hotel.

Fake Old Grand Hotel
This in an hotel for group traveling in bus. Rooms are soso. Kind of 50’s motel behind a nice frontage. Forget the romantic gateways in the montain. A tourist trap.

Excellent!!
I stayed here for one night after arriving at the airport and before heading into Fjord country. It was a little off the beaten path, and if I had needed to find my way from the airport via bus to this hotel I would have had some trouble. However, I drove and the GPS had no issues finding it. Once there, it is only a few hundred meters from a bus stop and a 20 minute ride into downtown Oslo. Bus tickets and Oslo city passes can be purchased from reception. The hotel is beautiful, overlooks Oslo, and is quiet. Parking is quite expensive per night, but they have a covered garage, as well as other free parking a few hundred meters down the hill, or so I was told. My room was comfortable, and for a European hotel it was quite large, but small by American standards. Functional furnishings (think IKEA stuff), but comfortable. I will definitely stay here again in Oslo. One note, if you are planning on staying in Oslo for a lot of city touring, you may be more convenient to stay in the downtown itself, but if you are only spending a day in the city, or just passing through and need a spot to spend a night before/after flying in/out, particularly if you have a car rental, I would highly recommend this hotel.
Traveler's tip on local attractions
The Sculpture Park in Oslo was lovely for a relaxing evening walk.
