Home Hotel Folketeateret

The overall impression of the hotel was definitely positive – friendly staff and excellent service. Perfect location. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding, and the complimentary fika and dinner were a delightful bonus. The only downside was that our room wasn’t great.

We absolutely LOVED staying at this hotel. The staff we encountered were all very friendly. Location was central to the main shopping area and easily walkable to the water and points of interest. |We stayed in the Family room with my family of 4 and there was plenty of space for all of us. |There was coffee and tea available in the lobby at all times and best of all they had a scrumptious and large selection of buffet breakfast, buffet dinner as well as afternoon tea snack.|If you are searching for an amazing hotel in central Oslo for you and your family do not hesitate to book here!

This hotel is a surprise on many counts. The breakfast is as good as it gets. And the hotel also offers a no-charge "light dinner," but there's nothing light about it. It's a full meal. They also offer "Fika" which is a sweet along with coffee and tea. The design of the rooms and common spaces reflects the neighboring theater. I was pleased to see that the experience is the same now as it was pre-Covid. Definitely recommend.

We used the hotel mainly due to our plans for the theater. Went with another couple, two superior rooms. Great location for easy access to the theater and not far from Oslo central station. Not the best Clarion I have used. Only coffee option is in reception. Why not a service in the room? No bar, the independent Grilleriet next to the hotel closes at 10, right after the show. Then one must go out in town, or shop before 6 in town (vinmonopolet) to have in the room. Why not a small service at reception? The “cabinet” space in the room is a waste of space. Could have found a better more efficient solution. The little suitcase holder is useless. Folds in as soon as any weight is applied.

If you are seeking an excellent base for exploring Oslo, with the comfort of returning to pleasant surroundings each evening, this hotel stands out as an ideal choice. Its location is highly convenient for accessing the city's main attractions, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the Oslo experience while having a serene retreat at the end of a busy day. However, it must be noted that the breakfast experience fell short of expectations. Despite the current challenges of managing a hotel in Oslo, the breakfast offerings did not meet the high standards set by other aspects of the hotel or justify the pricing. It lacked both the variety and quality that one would anticipate given the overall positioning of the hotel. Regarding accommodations, the rooms come in various shapes and sizes, each with its own charm. However, guests should be aware that none of the room categories can be considered particularly spacious, which might be a limitation for those who value ample space. Despite this, the rooms are thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort and functionality within the available space.

Great location. Rooms a little small but functional with Rituals toiletries. Bed comfortable. Food very good, we arrived late first day but they offered to save dinner for the price of a tray charge. Nice views from the terrace on top floor.

Hotel rooms are 80 alike. No city view, all tables in the room are old, seats are old. Lobby toilets are terrible and entrance hidden inside a maul... Electricity 💡 hanging out the wall. Price is high and not worth it! Looking forward to the breakfast experience! Minibar was empty.. 4 Star ✨ Hotel..... Not in my mind.

Great stay. The staff was accommodating. Check-in and check-out were quick. The hotel is located a 5-minute walk from Central Station. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent. A good variety of freshly prepared food was available. The room was spacious. The room does not have a kettle, but the hotel has a tea/coffee machine in the lobby, which is excellent.

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.
