The hotel might have been nice after they finished their improvements for 50 years ago. Since then they haven't changed one sligth thing. Terrible service. First we had to wait for 1 hour because they had not prepared our booked room. The room we got was not cleaned, and after complaining, we were moved to a smaller room, even worse... More

Stayed one night in Clarion Collection Gabelshus as part of Norway in a nutshell. The Hotel is in a lovely quiet area in Oslo, but within easy walking distance of the centre (20 mins) There is also a tram very close by. First impression was good, as the Hotel looks lovely. The room was small (particularly the bathroom) but was... More

I have stayed a few times at Gabelshus, hoping to make this my regular place in Oslo. I normally stay 3-5 nights, and appreciate a good hotel when I see one. Hotel Gabelshus is within walking distance to the city centre (20 minutes) and a tram service takes you there in 6-7 minutes. Tickets can be bought at the kiosk... More

The rooms are on the small side, but perfectly workable. The first room we had was a bit older and all the lights were on a master switch - annoying since the two of us adapted differently to the time change. The staff kindly found us another room. We could turn on one light at a time which worked better... More

Dear guest, Thank you for your positive feedback. The price might seem high but taken into consideration the price level generally in Oslo as well as the evening meal that we offer free og charge to our guests hopefully makes the value justified. Have a nice day and welcome back for another occasion. Best regards, Naira Lalayan. GM More

This hotels pretends to be a higher-scale boutique hotel and charges like one, but is somehwat closer to an average roadside motel. It may look lovely on the outside but looks can deceive... My husband and I were assigned to a small room in the old part of the hotel. The walls of the corridor had flaking paint and bits... More

To sad to hear all written above, sounds like to is not the hotel I know... We get the best score on our breakfasts buffet claiming to be one of the best in Oslo due to absolute majority of our guests, therefore it sounds strange that you experienced it like canteen type… There are several people working in the cleaning...

Comfortable hotel, good service and friendly staff. The hotel has own free parking which is a big plus in the city though it is limited in capacity, but there is free parking in the surrounding street too. Our room was reasonably large and comfortable (2nd floor towards the back). The only minus was the weather was torrential rain for much... More

Dear guest, Thanks for the positive review. The light evening meal that we offer to your guests without an extra charge is not a dinner and is something light in the evening between 6-9 pm every day. It is mostly cold buffet, while there is always a warm home made soup and one light warm dish in addition. I wish... More

We enjoyed the Gabelhus, and would stay here again. It's close enough to the center - can walk or take tram / bus - but in a quiet residential neighborhood. Our room was comfortable, with a bathtub. The service was fine - though only one person was at the front desk, he or she was always available to help -... More
