Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great variety and high quality ingredients. Oslo sights, museums, restaurants etc are spread out across the city so location was very good to access most of these within a short walk or bus trip. Also close to train station for access to airport (given Oslo expensive taxi rates).

Would be good to have one of the pools accessible without extra charge or booking.

The service is amazing, the space is beautiful and food is great

The rooms don't match the descriptions on booking, there are amenities missing

This is a luxurious, very well appointed hotel, well situated for the commercial part of town, with the waterfront fifteen to twenty minutes’ walk away. The service at the hotel is excellent, and the breakfast buffet up there with the very best. It’s great that they are dog friendly, at least as far as having them stay in designated rooms is concerned.

Aside from the cost, there’s really nothing not to like. Some reviews mention noise, but I had a room facing the internal courtyard and it was completely quiet, with no noise even from the adjacent rooms. A good tip is not to go down to breakfast until ten or fifteen minutes after opening time, as to begin with there can be queues (at weekends at least) and it takes them a bit of time to seat people.

- Beautiful hotel with stylish design - Very central location - Excellent rooms, spacious and comfortable, with quality amenities - Breakfast was outstanding in all aspects: variety, quality, service and restaurant - Top-notch facilities, with many high quality and stylish restaurants and cafés in the property. The live music restaurant and the rooftop one we tried were excellent. - Service was outstanding, staff are attentive and very professional

- The wellness area/pool has an extra charge for hotel guests, which feels unusual for this category - The standing part of the reception area is quite small, and when several guests arrive or check out at the same time it can feel crowded. The waiting time though was very short

Super location in Oslo, right next to bus, tram and subway. Easy with car and valet parking. NOK 795 per day. Smiling staff, everyone very attentive, efficient check-in. Great rooms in terms of style - retro, large bed (very soft), large bathroom. It is mainly double rooms. Paid extra to get to the roof terrace and pool. Decent area, a bit small, and on a hot summer day there was nowhere to sit (full). But we were able to cool off in the pool. The best thing about the whole stay was the breakfast. Fantastic atmosphere, delicious buffet, separate menu for omelettes / pancakes etc. It never happens that I am stuffed after a breakfast, but I was this morning, and was almost a little sick for having eaten too much.

Pay extra for rooftop terrace access. A bit negative is that once you have done that there is really no space other than being in the pool.

We liked the location. We liked the breakfast. We liked the quality of the bed, pillows and bedding, and the furnishings generally.

The room was not quite the same as in the picture and felt even smaller with two armchairs virtually blocking the doorways. There was no sofa (as per picture) and hardly any room to move around the bed. I wish someone stayed in our room for a couple days prior to offering it to clients - it felt a little 'style over comfort' to our liking. It is possible that we did not get the best of Delux rooms:(( There was no slippers (only flipflops!); there was no non-slip bathmat (requested in advance) - at £350 per night this should have been possible - and no hot towel rail; operating the lifts, doors and lighting was quite confusing. The TV options were quite limited with only two English speaking channels available.

The Sommerro is a wonderful gem of a hotel, in a wonderful gem of a city! It’s Art Deco personality suits the neighborhood, the location is a 5-10 minute walk from everything, there’s two tram stations within 100 ft from the front door that will take you anywhere in Oslo, the staff is super helpful, and the breakfast is one of the best ever. They also have a jazz band playing in their main restaurant on summer weekends to go with the Art Deco theme, and the downstairs pool is drop dead gorgeous. Room sizes are good for Europe, beds are comfy and there’s black out curtains fit the long summer nights, toiletries are luxurious, and there are plenty of nice touches to each room. Overall, a very well thought-out hotel!

That I couldn’t stay longer?

The Sommerro is a grand hotel, a fully modernized art deco gem in the heart of Oslo. The hotel made me feel so pampered. The rooms were luxurious, with every detail considered. We were a short walk to the waterfront with fine dining and entertainment. The breakfast experience rivals anything we've experienced, a truly gourmet, decadent experience. It isn't cheap, but it made our time in Oslo even more memorable.

The rooftop pool has to be reserved and paid for, which felt unnecessary given the price of the stay.

Very beautiful hotel and lovely staff. Our room was very small, but we loved our cubby hole twin beds with curtains, the single beds are really big and very comfortable. The breakfast buffet is superb. The location is great, very close to lots of attractions, and tram stop right outside the front door. Oslo is wonderful, stunning waterfront, Munch is a must see as well as museums peninsula and the Ferry journey.

We were disappointed that the gym didn't open until 8 despite the website saying 5am. It was also disappointing that the pool and sauna are extra cost.

Breakfast fantastic with lots of Gluten free and dairy free options. In addition coffee was strong and black!

Waiter made a mistake ( added thousands of extra Norwegian kroners )on our bill and he wasn’t too happy when this was pointed out to him. Not impressed! This somehow went on to the final invoice where I had to again point out the mistake after payment had been taken off my credit card. I was informed that I would have to wait a few days for my money to be refunded back onto my card! This episode certainly took away from the overall positive experience of our stay. Do better!
