Clarion Hotel® Oslo Airport

Booked in Advance, great little hotel! Great Breakfast, Excellent Customer Care! However more information required to navigate to from airport/train station! Taxi here from airport super expensive!

Friendly staff in the reception but understaffed. Check in took forever. The room needs upgrading; window could not close when we finally managed to open it. The water in the shower switches from cold to warm all the time. We booked a room for four people but it was towels/duvets for three. Had to queue in the reception for the second time this evening and when we discovered that the tv did not work we didn’t bother to try to get hold of any staff. Breakfast was great, but will not book this next time we need a place close to Gardermoen..

So, what should you look for? We all have different choices; the common ones are ok services and rooms. I could not check in via the app; technically, it wanted me to download an app from a bank I don't use. I checked in via "self-check" at reception, but no one could explain why I couldn't use a mobile key. Morally, puts staff in a position to provide "service" when things stop ⛔🫣🥶. There was no help from customer service on the phone either. So, loops in cleaning are a "regular thing” repeatedly. Inadequate or lack of routines are often reflected in several places 😶‍🌫️. This room didn't reflect that. It's excellent with birds, but if you want "peace", it stops around 06:00 with the window open. The breakfast is, as always, impeccable at Strawberry's, but so in many hotels in 2024. The cord from the vacuum cleaner doesn't need to be in the corridor, HMS! Who decided to put the hairdryer in front of the electric socket 😵‍💫? The margins can be small. As an alternative, try some new or different hotels. Greetings from a former "mystery tester" of hotels in Choice 😉. And here is the answer to @Frida Andersson:

Very clean rooms, value for the money, location is good, only 8 minutes from the airport with shuttlebus.. All of the staff was very friendly.

This review combines both the hotel and the restaurant The Social Bar & Bistro. I had a really pleasant stay at this hotel. Check-in was flawless - I had the key within 30 seconds of arrival. My room was located in the south-west corner of the hotel. There was no noise from the airport, even though the runway was less than 500 m away. Everything was clean, the bed was comfortable and the minibar was reasonably well stocked. There was a balcony equipped with a small table and two chairs. I would have appreciated it if someone had removed the dust on the furniture. Also - there were bird droppings on the railing - it seemed that a clattering of jackdaws lived nearby. Please do clean the bird excrement. I visited the Social Bar & Bistro for an evening meal. I got seated quickly. There were not many guests - perhaps around 10. The waiter was quick and attentive. I chose the "Catch of the Day" from the menu: Oven baked or perhaps fried salmon with oven baked small potatoes, vegetables and sauce. When it was served - to my surprise - it was really warm, probably straight from the oven. Nice! And it was really, really tasty. Unfortunately - during the time I was eating the main course - 15 more guests arrived, and service broke down, as there was only one useful waiter. I waited a while to order dessert, but it took too long so I decided to pay at the counter and leave. I parked my car at the hotel - NOK 345 for 38 hours.
