I had a great stay at Hotel Filip! This hotel is a self service hotel, meaning there is no front desk and you check in online and get a code to access your room. Also the rooms are only cleaned at the end of your stay. I had a small problem with my first room when I got there and send an e-mail to Hotel Filip and they were extremely quick to answer and come to my aid. I was able to change rooms within minutes and I am really happy with the quick and good service. The rooms are beautiful, well equipped and clean. The location was great for us, very close to Aker brygge which has many wonderful restaurants and bars. It is also in walking distance from the center, but also close to buses and only 10 minute walk to the metro that takes you to the airport. I would definitely consider staying there again.

A really great little apartment hotel close to the city centre, Akker Brygge and public transport links. Nice to have proper facilities in the room - fridge and dishwasher, hob and coffee machine, a table to sit at. Communal facilities include a garden, sauna and gym. Check in is really easy and efficient. The room was clean and simple. The manager was extremely helpful and responsive, when the weather was hot he brought us a fan and then moved our room to the cooler side of the building, and sorted out moving our luggage while we were out for the day. A really nice place to stay in Oslo, would absolutely stay here again.

The property is by a main road and roundabout, road traffic can be noisy at night, and without air con it’s too warm to keep the windows closed in summer.

Prefect location for the port, hop on and off bus. Walking distance into the centre. I got a bus to Oslo train station within a 2 minute walk. The hotel manager recommended the VY app to book my train to Bergen. He also gave me the ‘#’ app to book my tickets either on the tram, boat, metro or bus. Super helpful indeed. He also recommended a super lovely pub called ‘forest and brown’ which did lovely food and great beers! Had a great sleep over my 2 nights. No noise. Black out blind/curtains! Super great hot shower and heated floor. I also had a very lively window autumn view. I have already recommended this to friends and family and I will be returning for sure!

Nothing! A little cold in the main bedroom but I used the heater. The 2 single duvets were cosy but a big duvet is always nice because it saves losing one off the bed. But this is a very minor suggestion.

Hotel Filip is a apart hotel very modern, clean and in a strategic position close to restaurants and Pubs. Furniture, matress and pillow are very good. Room is spacious. The price is very competitive. Bear in mind there is no staff on site, all is automatic and you can talk with the staff on phone on or message. They are very help ful. The check in is based on a web link you must activate before 1500. After this activation you can enter inside using your mobile phone browser. Just be sure to allow the browser to activate GPS function.

Lack of hairdryer

Location is great (on the quieter side of the city), room was top quality and had the best view, kitchen was very useful, toilet was modern and very clean. Didn’t use the gym or sauna so can’t say anything about them. We had a key problem at the beginning of our stay and we called the support line, our problem was solved in 5 minutes. We would surely choose Hotel Filip for our next visit!

Housekeeping only visited our room once however maybe two times would have been better but it’s just a minor thing. Nothing important

Had problems opening the front door at arrival. This was totaly up to my mistake. The App on iPhone show 3 green buttons where the first one is for opening the room door and the last one is to open the front door. Info on last button was hidden by iPhone so thought there was someting wrong. In the app the first button should be to open the front door. But now i know, and next time there will be no problems. Got fenomenal help from support that open the door for us remotly. Will stay here next time to. Extreemly central placement, close to Frogner and Aker brygge.

Change the buttons in the app. Minor detail but when you arrive first ting is the front door.

Nice, cozy and clean room. Big bathroom. I absolutely loved the blankets that were thin and light, yet kept you warm no matter what! The location was also very well, We reached all the important sightseeings in minutes with the bus

The check-in was a bit difficult since there is no reception and you need a smartphone to do it (and to enter the hotel). But there is a support hotline with a really nice guy who explains the process very well! Room Service is only every 3rd day and they don't make the beds, just provide new towels and empty the trashcan

The hotel management immediately reacted, even though it was Sunday lunch time, to support me in receiving the room with the open windows. This is what I call hospitality and taking care of customer needs. If my path brings me back to Oslo I will definitely stay in this hidden gem hotel.

I booked a single room and did not pay attention to be more precise round features during my booking process. Namely all this beautiful, cozy rooms have windows which cannot be opened. At least this is “Scandinavian standard”. All rooms though have a great air conditioning system to compensate. I simply have a major problem with closed space.

It was a very comfortable room, and we were able to recharge after exploring the city. The ability to cook your own meal and do laundry was much appreciated, as we traveled around Norway for a while before our stop in Oslo and had missed the comforts of home. Well located as well with easy access to many places for coffee/drinks/dinner. There's no reception, but online check-in was easy.

Not major, as it was easy to resolve, but we had to rewash some of the dishes, cleaned by the previous guests. I would have appreciated the staff checking on this while cleaning before our check-in. Also, some more dishwasher tables would have been nice.

Excellent central location, but you need to learn about the local bus and tram routes from Vika Atrium and Solli in order to get round the city. The National Theatre is a major public transport interchange. Set up your card details on the Ruter App for bus, tram & metro in Oslo. UK visitors will envy this efficient, integrated public transport system. Sauna! Also gym and washing machines. Excellent manager Glen.

Overreliance on automated check-in via phone with no front desk (which I believe is being improved). We were saved by the excellent manager who was on site when we arrived and who made everything very smooth and easy. The room decor was black and grey which some might like but which we found to be too dark.
