UPDATED OCTOBER 2009 I have previously written a couple of reviews of this hotel over the last couple of years and it just gets better and better. The building work and room upgrades have now finished and this has been coupled with a complete revamp of the downstairs eating and lounge areas. The style that this hotel exudes is that... more

I have stayed at this hotel several times. The first time in a suite (not the largest), and every room after this is a bit disapointing. This time we stayed in a deluxeroom, but we have also stayed in a standard doubleroom. If you plan to stay at the Bastion hotel, I recommend that you book a superior, deluxe og... more

Value - Because this is a Clarion Collection Hotel, breakfast and dinner are provided and there's a small refrigerator in the room to keep food for a "picnic lunch". If you're cost shopping hotels in Norway where meals are very expensive, you absolutely must factor this in. We didn't eat in one restaurant during our four-night stay and saved a... more

Ihave a mixed feelings about this hotel. My first impression was, I have to admit, what a dump! It was in fact very close to the main train/bus station, city centre and all, but the street it was on..not loking too nice. When we went inside we were a bit shocked to see that the receptionist is the bartender as... more

After all the good reviews here, I was disappointed at this place. It was the most expensive I've ever stayed in (although not expensive by Oslo standards) and for that I expected a bit of luxury, but there was nothing luxurious about this. It seemed to be a corporate company that left little booklets about 'wellbeing' and 'life-balance' in the... more

This was an incrediblechoise for us in Oslo. Family of 4, parents, 2 sons in their 20s. The area might be considered a bit dicey except that there seems to beminimal crime in Oslo. Its 2 blocks from th Central Train Staton and we walked everywhere. The breakfast and dinner were fine and the staff could not have been more... more

We booked this hotel based on other TripAdvisor reviews, and it was a great choice. An easy walk from the train station and the center, but far enough from the core to be peaceful. I traveled with my husband and six-year old daughter and booked a family room; we were given a luxurious suite consisting of a living room (with... more

We arrived late at night, through a fairly seedy few streets to find that the hotel was having major renovations. Why don't they tell you ? well I guess I know the answer. Breakfast is well below standard we've enjoyed at other hotels in Norway, the availability of waffles (you cook them) and evening light meal are advantages. The hotel's... more

I went there with my parents on April 2009 and we had a very spacious and quiet 3-bed room. The decoration was really lovely and It was also very cozy, tidy and clean. We couldn't believe it was just a 3-star hotel! The location of the hotel is perfect! Right in the city center and very close to everything, like... more
