Amerikalinjen

This hotel is beautiful. The restaurant and bar provided delicious food and great service. The room was comfortable and quiet. The location was perfect. Public transportation was easily accessible and there were plenty of places within walking distance to visit. We were even able to take a tram to see the ski jumps and to XC ski. I highly recommend this hotel.

My only regret about my stay at the Amerikalinjen is that I never learnt how to pronounce its name. One of the hotel’s key advantages is its location, which gives ready access to most of Oslo’s key sights. For those arriving or departing by air, the platform for the airport express train is only a few minutes’ walk away. On arrival, we quickly made our way to the hotel’s excellent, buzzing cocktail bar. The standard of the drinks and service was high. A breakdown of the ice machine could have left us briefly dry. However, the barman was kind enough to provide us with complimentary wine to tide us over whilst the problem was fixed. Breakfast time at Amerikalinjen is something to be relished, given the quality and range of food on offer. However, service was rather hit and miss (mostly miss). This was also the case at dinner. We waited an hour for our desert to arrive – all the more puzzling given the preparation merely required the “chef” to slice some cheese and open a packet of biscuits on a quiet night. However, the staff were good enough to take the initiative and deduct the cheese plate from the bill. Our room was modern, spacious and a pleasure to spend time in. The hotel as a whole strikes a nice balance between preserving its history and offering a modern level of amenity and décor. All of this at a fairly modest cost by Norwegian standards.

The hotel is well located near the central station. I would highly recommend the hotel. Nice breakfast and friendly staff

This was the perfect place for several days in Oslo. It is across the street from the train station as well as tram and bus stops, and walking distance from almost everything. And yet, the rooms are very quiet. We especially enjoyed the history associated with this hotel as the former headquarters of a Norwegian cruise line. The room had several framed artifacts from cruises, including menus with a very enviable set of wine pairings! We had a weird issue with our room when we first got there, in that the lights, operated by a high-tech touch panel in the room, would not turn off. When the hotel couldn't resolve the issue, they moved us immediately into another room. This hotel, unlike some other Norwegian hotels supplied both wash cloths and facial tissues. Breakfast was quite good, and the front desk incredibly helpful with restaurants and other questions.

Perfect hotel, centre of everything, clean & super friendly couldn’t do enough for us. Rona & the Staff have plenty of information if needed & willing to help. The food was amazing everything cooked perfectly. The breakfast spread your spoilt for choice. We loved this hotel & we would definitely stay here again. Perfect holiday stay
