Location
Located nearly 25 minutes' walk from The Vigeland Park, the deluxe Hotel Continental Oslo offers amenities such as a fitness centre, spa therapy, and a shared lounge. Thanks to its ideal location, this 5-star traditional hotel is a few minutes' drive from Akershus Castle and Fortress, which guests can visit to explore the history of the area.
Situated around 5 minutes' walk from The Ibsen Museum in Oslo, the luxury property is just 450 metres from Storting building. The exclusive Continental Oslo stands within walking distance of National Theatre tube station. Visit Kongespeilet, at a distance of 1.1 km from this smoke-free accommodation, and feel complete harmony with the nature of Norway. Guests can also visit the grand 19th-century colonnaded Nationaltheatret Theater, located only minutes from the elegant Hotel Continental. Nationaltheatret bus stop is a mere 0.7 km from the property.
Equipped with a personal safe and smoke detectors, some of the 152 rooms feature soundproof windows along with a coffee table and armchairs. They are furnished with comfortable decor. Providing hairdryers and bath sheets, the private bathrooms also come with a separate toilet.
A free breakfast awaits guests in the restaurant from 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM on weekends. Casbar is one of the 2 in-house restaurants. The 24-hour bar is ideal for a relaxing drink. You can visit a bar situated close by and taste American cuisine.
Review by hotel critic
As a marine biologist with a penchant for the stark beauty of the Nordic countries, I recently visited Continental to analyze the balance between luxury and value. Situated in a prime location across from the National Theater, this beautiful landmark hotel offers a fantastic central city stay. The breakfast was delightful, and the staff was attentive. However, I did notice a recurring issue with the central heating system that left me with dry sinuses and a headache, a problem I encountered even twenty years ago. It seems the renovation failed to address this perennial issue. Despite this setback, the room was spacious and beautifully decorated, offering a comfortable retreat. The staff's exceptional service during a city event blocking access to the hotel demonstrated their dedication. While the hotel's location and service are commendable, the unresolved heating issue may give pause to returning guests seeking a more seamless experience.
