"a short stay in Oslo"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 30, 2012
The architectural concept of the hotel is weird but they deliver and their breakfast is great. I wish they had a free shuttle to the airport. Friendly staff.

Good restaurant, good breakfast....
"Good Location for this Oslo Hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 11, 2012
It's tough to write good reviews when you are getting bent over by Norwegian prices and taxes. However, when all is said and done this is a very good location with reasonably friendly service. The hotel has a phenomenal breakfast and great connectivity to the surrounding area and airport.

see all hotels in Oslo"Nice Room, Good Location, Terrible Service"
I think this hotel offers good value for the 2nd most expensive city in the world that averages $43 USD lunches. The room was fairly clean except for the cigarette butts left the balcony. Beds were super comfortable. Location was really good.....it was nice to be able to walk to everywhere we wanted to go in town. And the terrible service. I pulled […] up to the hotel and was advised where to find parking. I was NOT advised at the time that I had to prepay at the front desk, so that meant an extra trip to the carpark down the road and back. Then, we finally get our room keys after waiting in line as there was only one person working, only to find out they gave us one bed instead of the two we booked. After we finally get room keys for another, they do not work. And finally, we settle into the third room. All said and done about 1.5 hours wasted. Not acceptable. Breakfast was quite good for a hotel tho. ; ) All said and done, if your heavy on service this place isn't for you, but if you got time to burn, then go for it. Read more

"Wonderful stay at a great price!"
Loved the hotel! The price of this hotel, in an otherwise very expensive city, was fantastic for the quality and amenities. The location was very convenient, the breakfast was fantastic and the room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was also very nice. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

"Rica Holberg Hotel in Oslo, Norway - close to the"
This Hotel is right next to an airport Flybuss stop. They pick up and drop off every 15 minutes. It is 3 blocks from the palace and many other sites are with in walking distance. The hotel is clean with excellent service. They provide a wonderful breakfast every morning. They have a luggage room to lock up your suitcases while you go sight seeing.
"Terrific Stay"
The location of this hotel couldn't be better. It is right near the tram and directly across from the airport FlyBus. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was super!!
"Rica Holberg Hotel-Oslo"
Hotel was about 15 minutes walk to the central station. Staff was nice, helpful, spoke English very well, and let us store our luggage since we arrived early. Room was comfortable and the bathroom was large with tub. They had some smoking rooms available. The included breakfast buffet had a good variety and the quality of the food was excellent. Considering […] how expensive everything is in Oslo, I felt that the room rate was reasonable. I would recommend. Read more
"Oslo hotel, close to town centre"
The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood. We did have trouble with temperature in our room. The air conditioning seemed to shut off at night. Overall, a nice hotel. The front desk staff were very helpful and assistive with directions and bookings.
"The Rica Holberg Hotel - clean, reasonably priced"
The Rica Holberg Hotel was close to the Central Train Station - 10 minute walk - and even closer to the Palace. It was on a trolley route. Depending on how much you like to walk, you could vist major shopping areas, historic sites, and parks. Prices in Oslo are high making the price at the Rica Holberg reasonable. The people working at the front desk […] were very friendly and willing to help travelers find ways to get around to the sites. It was not a 5 star hotel but it was a clean place to sleep with a nice TV. The room was small and a bit crowded. Read more
"Great location, very affordable"
Within walking distance to many of the main sights of Oslo. Friendly staff, clean rooms. Great breakfast buffet.
"Rica Holberg in Oslo-great location & breakfast"
Nicely appointed hotel- rooms are pleasant and clean. Location is great- the National Theater is a short walk away and the ciity harbor is near also. Also behind the hotel- a short walk thru a well appointed residential section to a nice restaurant area, Fabulous breakfast- great variety of foods, if you are health conscious or eating like an athlete […] the whole grains, cereals, dried fruits, fresh fruit, smoked fish, fresh cheese, etc selections will set up your day.

"The Rica Holberg Hotel is the perfect base in Oslo"
We can't say enough good about the Rica Holberg Hotel. Its perfectly situated for sightseeing in Oslo. The staff are all amazingly friendly, courtious and helpful. The room and en suite, though a little small, were spotlessly clean, comfortable and well maintained. The breakfast (included) was outstanding with a vast array of food of every description […] on offer - and all for a very reasonable rate. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recomend it! Read more
"Great situation"
Rica Holberg is in a very central location with a tram stop across the road making everything easily accessible. Breakfast choices were good and staff were helpful. My room was clean,comfortable and a pleasant temperature. It was fairly quiet and I slept well. On my last day I was able to leave my luggage in a locked baggage room until late afternoon […] allowing me to do some more sightseeing before leaving Oslo. In Norway everything was expensive in comparison to UK but compared to some other hotels that I checked Rica Holberg was reasonable. Read more
"Great breakfast, tiny room, clean, comfy sheets"
Exciting to eat an included buffet breakfast in Norway with such expensive food. Very clean room, very friendly staff. Room and shower were tiny, but served us fine. Took 25 minutes to walk to from the train station, but seemed much closer to the important sights when we weren´t lugging our baggage. Fine hotel.

"Exceptional value for money..."
This hotel represents incredible value for money. I actually cancelled a self-catering apartment to book this hotel as, with the much acclaimed breakfast, it looked like a better value for money option in an expensive city. We were not disappointed. The breakfast is absolutely fantastic - they didn't even mind you making a roll (or two in my case) […] to take away for lunch. The staff were friendly, letting you get on with your holiday in peace but if you needed advice they were very knowledgeable. The room was clean, comfy & had everything we needed. Location of hotel is 5 minutes from Oslo city centre, with a 7-eleven supermarket outside your door and a fantastic restaurant/cafe 50m away that represents the best value for money in Oslo. If I go to Oslo I will be booking at the Rica Holberg... without question. Read more
"Convenient to Oslo University College"
We had a good couple of nights at the hotel, across the street from Oslo University College. The one and only elevator was out of order during these two days, but apart from that everything was fine. Great breakfast. Good restaurants in the vincinity.

"Excelltent place to stay in Oslo"
The hotel is situated close to the city centre (easy walking distance). Rooms are small but comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Friendly service.
"Very good for the price"
I stayed in a single room, which if you're used to American rooms, was small, but for Europe, was normal, and perfect for one person. The hotel is clean, the staff friendly and helpful, and the breakfast wonderful. For the price, i would definitely recommend. It's not right in the center of town but an easy 10 min walk.
"Rica Holberg. Positive"
Don't under-estimate this hotel, its not glossy but is makes up for it in other ways. The ambience is quiet and the guests a bit more discerning and unpretentious than in the many Oslo Hotels . Staff quietly get about their business ..Definitely good value
"rica holberg"
The upsides were the fabulous breakfast and hotel very clean The room was tiny and badly organised so you could not control the tv from the bed. First of all the key for the door did not work;then the tv did not work but the staff were very helpful and got it working, the phone never worked and the tram line outside was being dug up loudly in the middle […] of the night - also no tram line and staff not sure about the bus and told me the wrong information about the SAS bus ( stop had changed because of road works).Suggest you try elsewhere!!

The room was really quite scruffy, but breakfast was excellant

"Rica Holberg Oslo"
Convenient location and nice and friendly staff. Very close to well stocked convenient stores and delis. Great buffet breakfast. My only complaint is that the central air-conditioning is not quite up to scratch when it gets warm in summer.
"Rica Holberg - a super value for money"
We stayed in Rica holberg for 3 nights on our recent sightseeing trip to Oslo. A very courteous, helpful and efficient front desk, nice and clean rooms, reasonably sized for Oslo, fantastic breakfast and close to all siteseeing locations. Royal palace gardens are stone's through away and city center/main train statation are just 1 km away and plenty […] of trams support connectivity morning through evening. Can improve on tv channels! Definitely recommended! Thanks Ajay Read more
"Great Location"
The hotel was good location, close to all Oslo has to offer, check in staff very nice.
"Nice and well kept hotel"
On a business trip I checked in a single room. It was definitely not big by any means, but I had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone who wants to stay a bit off the central part of Oslo.
"Rica Holberg - living next door to the king"
This hotel located almost in the heart of Oslo just a few steps to the king's castle. Everything was great except of the noisy tram right outside on the street. Breakfast was especially excellent!

"Veldig fornøyd"
Det eneste som var litt merkelig var døren opp til rommene. Den slår utover, ned mot trappen man kommer opp, noe som var litt upraktisk. Rommet jeg bodde på var rent, godt ventilert og stille. Internett fungerte bra, og var lett å få tilgang til med telefon. Frokostutvalget var bra. Betjeningen var hjelpsom og imøtekommende, både i resepsjonen og ved […] frokosten. Read more

"Rica Hoberg i hjertet av Oslo"
Meget sentral beliggenhet, men noe støy fra trikk/trafikk utenfor (dersom man har sørvendt rom). Gangavstand til det meste i Oslo sentrum, som slottet, slottsparken, bogstadveien/Majorstuen, Carl Johans gate, Youngstorget etc. Ble oppgradert til executive rom uten ekstra kostnad og uten å ha bedt om det - det kan man like. Fikk i tillegg forlenget […] sjekkut med 1 time kun ved å spørre en hyggelig dame i resepsjonen. Frokosten var helt ok. Alt man forventer å finne på en hotell frokost var tilgjengelig. Har spist bedre, men også langt dårligere. Gode priser på rommene, selv ved sen booking samme dag på en lørdag. Read more

"Rico Holberg Oslo"
Hotel liegt sehr günstig. Anbindung an S-Bahn und auch Flybussen (Flughafentransfer). Man kann auch zu Fuß in die Stadtmitte gehen. Hotel ist gut und sauber. Freundliche Leute. Die Zimmer sind normal groß bis klein. Wir hatten ein sehr kleines Zimmer, aber für ein verlängertes Wochenende geht das. Sehr ruhig. Im Zimmer z.T. etwas renovierungsbedürftige […] Möbel, aber insges. i.O. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist sehr gut und umfangreich, allerdings nicht sehr abwechslungsreich. Dafür ist aber wirklich alles da, Brot, Brötchen, Rührei, Spiegelei, Würstchen, Frikadellen,... ,Fisch, Müsli, Obst, Säfte,...Der Kaffee ist auch gut. Read more

Sentralt i Oslo, midt mellom Bogstadveen, Slottsparken og sentrum. Kort vei til teaterene og ikke minst rettssalene :)
