Home Hotel Folketeateret

I really enjoyed my 2-night stay at this hotel. It’s centrally located and convenient to getting around Oslo, but the area is not loud or overcrowded. My room was clean, attractive, and comfortable. The breakfast spread was fabulous! You will certainly not go hungry with so many tasty choices. The day we checked out, we had to leave before breakfast started to catch our train to the airport, and the desk attendant offered me a bagged breakfast since we couldn’t stay and eat - it was such a kind, thoughtful gesture.

This hotel met all our expectations. Helena at the front desk started us off with friendly service and great advice. The room was large and clean. The breakfast outstanding and the added afternoon snacks and free dinner were definitely an addition not normally seen in hotels. The plaza out the back of the connected mall led directly to all sites in the city. A food festival there one day was a great local experience. Highly recommend.

Absolutely pleasantly surprised. The breakfast buffet is top notch with many options for everything. The free dinner buffet is small, but very tasty and offers something for everyone. The rooms are adequately sized. All of the staff are super polite. If I’m ever going to Oslo again, I will consider staying here once more.

Very central and close to the train station. Very nice rooms and super friendly service at reception! Breakfast is excellent, afternoon tea and cake are fine (not too extravagant), and dinner is okay—if you want traditional Norwegian dishes, you'll have to eat out, but the price-performance ratio is good.

My wife, 21-yr old daughter and I visited Oslo from the UK for a 2 night stay to attend the Oya music festival. We chose a duplex suite at this hotel (with a big double bed on a mezzanine floor & a double sofa bed in the lounge below) as it meant all 3 of us could share a room but could also would still afford some privacy. The price difference between a suite and a standard room was not particularly significant (booked through Expedia, incl. flights with SAS from LHR)||This worked a treat, the suite was excellent. Only slight issue was the shower struggled to regulate its temperature. ||Location was spot-on (festival was walkable as were all the main sights), right in the heart of Oslo. The excellent Himkok cocktail bar was just around the corner too. ||Breakfast was buffet-style but was very plentiful and great quality with lots of variety. Staff were always friendly and attentive. There was also complimentary fika (afternoon cake and coffee) which was a nice touch and a free dinner buffet, tho we didn’t make use of this last option as we had other plans. ||Overall this was an excellent find and we would choose without hesitation if/when we visit Oslo again

The location is excellent located in the center of Oslo & near to the station & trams |Our room was very small |The bathroom was the best feature with under floor heating & plenty of hot water ,shower gel etc The only downside is the towels which are extremely small |Never before I have stayed in a hotel where your room is not cleaned daily !! |So we stayed for two nights & no cleaning was done|We had dinner & breakfast included |Dinner is a buffet & the food did not look great so we didn’t have any |However the breakfast buffet was very good with a nice selection of hot & cold food

The room was well-maintained, and the bed provided adequate comfort. However, the room's limited size and lack of a view necessitated the continuous closure of the curtains. The hotel's location offers excellent accessibility to public transportation and the airport train station, both within walking distance. The staff demonstrated exceptional friendliness and helpfulness throughout our stay. The breakfast and dinner options were diverse and flavorful, representing good value. Special appreciation is extended to Dag.

I didn’t expect much from this hotel so I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are very clean and comfortable with a sitting area adjacent to the bedroom and a separate toilet. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Excellent location very close to the station. We saw the hotel offered a free buffet supper but having read the reviews on here I didn’t expect much. However the buffet was excellent and the staff worked so hard refilling for two hours. Great healthy salad selection plus soup plus nice hot supper of ham stew and mash potatoes. I have never been offered a free supper in any hotel so I can see this hotel would be a brilliant choice for families. Breakfast this morning was outstanding with the best selection I’ve seen - homemade juices, delicious bread selection, chia puddings, savoury, sweet - an incredible range!|Anyway I thought value for money here was excellent and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

The good first: Comfortable bed, room is updated, there is a small fridge. The surprising: Tiny room, really hard to even walk around. No table or storage at all to put your stuff. The bathroom has a tiny shelf, hard to even put toothpaste and razor. There is no tissue box. The bathroom is small and the whole thing gets wet and there is just one hand and one bath towel. The TV has 12 channels (not even CNN or BBC). The comforter is small, your legs will poke out. You have to go to room 301 to iron your clothes. The Clarion is a chic looking hotel, missing all the little things that make for a comfortable stay.

This past week I stayed at the Hotel Folketeateret again (my third stay) and already at the check-in, I was looking forward to the next morning: breakfast at the adjoining restaurant Grilleriet...but more on that later. The Hotel Folketeateret is located only a few minutes from the Central Station, where most people arrive when they come from the airport. The entrance is located within a mini-mall where you can find all sorts of restaurants, delicatessen stores, hairdressers etc. Upon entering the hotel, I always feel right at home, as it is cozy and warm in a typical Scandinavian fashion. Plus, the receptionists here are always very friendly and on top of that super-efficient; I've never waited longer than a minute to check in or check out. The hotel rooms that I've stayed in are not luxurious, but they are comfortable and they offer all the conveniences that a business traveller might look for: master switches for the light by the bed, plenty of sockets by the bed, free and fast wifi etc. As I mentioned before, the breakfast for me is the highlight here and I really urge you to get up early and take full advantage of it. The buffet is so big with so many yummy choices that I usually end up not needing to eat until the evening...seriously, I stuff myself with hearty rye bread, eggs, sausages, smoothies and other goodies. Another nice amenity here at the hotel is that in addition to the free breakfast, they also have free coffee in the lobby and they also offer a free light dinner...now this is what I call convenient!

Some people would call this hood sketchy, I'd call it convenient. It's dead central and an easy walk to the train station (where the Flytoget Airport Express train will whisk you after you land at Oslo airport). The breakfast (included in the room rate) is breathtaking: smoothies, pancakes, eggs, sausages, bacon, baked beans, cold cuts, cheese, fruits, vegetables, a bakery like assortment of bread, every kind of spread you can imagine to put on all that bread, really nice tea, yogurt and it just goes on and on from there. They do not mess around with breakfast and there is an overwhelming sense they absolutely revere the adage about it being the most important meal of the day. A light buffet in the early evening is also included in the room rate and is especially nice when you're in meetings all day. However, it's not nearly as bountiful nor inspired as the breakfast offerings but there will be soup, one entree with an accompanying carb, as well as salad. Drinks are available for purchase. I recommend taking your food upstairs, the view from there is nice and for some reason everyone else just crams into the tables near the food. The wifi is annoying because it requires a code that's constantly changing. I wish hotels everywhere would just put a password on it and call it a day! Just outside the hotel is a statue of Kate Moss in a rather challenging yoga pose entitled "Sphinx" by London artist Marc Quinn. I'll let you make up your own mind on that particular work. . . This is a hotel full of extras. You definitely feel like you get what you pay for (and like everything in Oslo, you will pay a lot). If you're easily claustrophobic it's worth trading up a room category or two as the cheapest rooms are very, very tiny.

Very happy with this hotel, which I think offers superior value for money. Couple of highlights: - Fantastic breakfast (I've had worse at 5 star hotels) - One of the best gym's I've seen - Nice interior design - Free bites and sweets on the 7th floor - Friendly staff Minor comments are that the rooms are quite small and the hotel is not optimal for business travellers.

Attention travellers to Oslo: This hotel offers a phenomenal breakfast buffet and a pretty good dinner option- included in the price. Normally this would not appeal to me but this is Oslo. If you are from North America you will be appalled at what you pay for bad food in Oslo. Even the 1% will probably feel ripped off with most meals. Instead, I recommend staying at one of the central Clarion hotels and taking in the great sites and culture in Oslo on a stomach full from breakfast and a wallet with some crowns left in it. Staying here truly made our trip. This despite the fact that for the first two nights our room was basically IN a dance club an no sleep was to be had until 3 an. That was a problem! The hotel is in a dispute with the nightclub but as of now all they can do is offer you earplugs. So- request a room away from the club (they'll know what you are talking about) or stay at the other Clarion two blocks away. Also, don't forget the "evening snack" there is a full dinner and it is totally adequate (whereas the breakfast is truly excellent).

This hotel has a very great location, close to the central station and couple of minutes walk from the seaside and Aker Brygge. The room was ok but a bit small from my point of view. Tea and coffee are available at the top floor of this hotel and offer a view over the city center. They can also be taken away at the reception. Breakfast is very nice in a very cosy place, nothing to complain about!

This is a nice hotel in Oslo. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it. The beds were comfy, the rooms were clean and modern and the location was excellent. Walkable to the train station and sites. Another great thing about this hotel is that they offer a complimentary dinner in addition to the free breakfast. The breakfast was really bountiful, but honestly I feel like everything tasted much better at dinner even if it was a smaller meal. These free, tasty meals are really appreciated when staying in a country that has astronomical prices for food at restaurants. The only thing I didn't like was that the temperature wasn't adjustable. There was no air conditioning.

Really good very central located hotel. Rooms a bit small. Rooms are in quite a good shape. Poor international TV selection. Very fast WiFi connection but zhe daily change of the code should be eliminated. Breakfast is really good, restaurant in the evening is as well recomended.

Well located. Staff is very helpful and breakfast excellent. Room decoration is unique. Strangely, I feel that the modern Scandinavian decor focuses more on style than function, and a lot of closet and desk spaces are lost.
