"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.

This hotel is an excellent alternative for those who don't want to spend upwards to $300 a night at the larger international chains. The buffet breakfast (included) makes it an even better value. Granted, you may not get the over-the-top feelings but considering the expense of dining and travel it's a great offset. Centrally located near the government […] buildings it's about a 8 minute taxi ride from the train station (which connects via high speed train to the airport). The beds were comfortable as well as the entire room set up. Close to the harbor for shopping and dining too. Great for the business traveler. Read more
"The Hotel Rica in Oslo, Norway"
Wonderful friendly staff, clean hotel and close to the waterfront. I would stay there again in the future....
Rica Victoria is in a great location; a short walk from the train station. Good breakfast buffet. Fair value for money in a very expensive city.

"Rica Victoria - good location"
The receptionist first put us (my wife and I) in a room with two twin beds. The room was also located next to the bar. They changed our room the next day when we requested it. In summary, adequate service, very good breakfast, and excellent location (near the city center and metro).
"Excellent Hotel with Incredible Breakfast"
The hotel is really beautiful inside, esp. the breakfast area. The included breakfast is one of the most incredible I have ever seen at a hotel. Huge buffet each day that is like some hotel's Sunday brunches for $40. We got a very good deal here, compared to other Oslo hotels, which tend to be quite expensive. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Totally […] will stay in Rica hotels again when I can. Read more
"Great location"
We really liked where we were--close to harbour, back a block from the main streets. The staff at the hotel was very helpful--explaining sights, trains, buses etc. The breakfast was very good, and room was fine, with enough room, but not large. It was off-putting that the air conditioner/heat could not be controlled individually by each room (although […] there is a control, we were told did nothing other than change the fan speed--that did not even appear to be true)--at end of day, temperture was OK, but not sure how that would have worked in colder or warmer weather. The phone system was also not working (explained as being upgraded--I am not sure if true either). For the price and the location, I liked the place, but its probably a 3 out of 5 stars as compared to a "American style" hotel (like a Hyatt at a 4) or a luxuary (like a Four Seasons, at a 5) Read more
"Rica Victoria in Oslo - great location"
I stayed two nights on a business trip. It is a significant walk (with rollerboard luggage) from the central train station but do-able (I took a taxi on return). The front desk was very helpful and welcoming, the room was fresh, clean, roomy (but not spacious). The inroom coffee & tea and wireless internet kept me connected with work. It was a short […] walk to my business apointments, and both central town and the vibrant waterfront restaurants and nightlight were close at hand. Read more
"Great value."
We stayed at the Rica Victoria for two nights and found it to be a wonderful value. It was clean, comfortable and close to Karl Johans Gate and the waterfront. The price was very reasonable considering how expensive Oslo can be. I would definitely use the Rica again if I return to Oslo.
"Very bad experience"
I had a very bad experience at this hotel arrving mid-evening in the pouring rain on a business trip. THe room I was given on the top floor was virtually vibrating with noise from something on the roof - I immediately asked for another room but was told they were full as were their other hotels. I was therefore reduced to walking the streets of Olso […] at 9pm in the rain to find an alternative. Read more
"Great Place to Stay"
The hotel was great! The room was large by Scandinavian standards. Very clean, and close to the Royal Palace. Was a great jumping off point for many museums as it was a short walk to the ferries by City Hall. Staff was very helpful, and let us secure our luggage for the day after we checked out. This was VERY helpful, because we were touring Oslo on […] foot, and we were not leaving until 7:30pm that night. The only improvement I would suggest was the breakfast, it was only average at best. Read more
"Pleasantly surprised"
Staff were friendly. Room was nice and tidy, but far too warm. Location is very central but on a side street. Overall, would use it again.
"can't beat this location"
The location is just great. It's close to train station, tram to Vingeland Park, and ferries to the FRAM museum. The included breakfast buffet was very nice that you barely need any lunch. With the cost of living at Oslo, this is truly a good deal. The only downside is the 6AM trash collection. I would bring ear-plugs if I were you.
"Good value"
Great location for getting around the city. We took the flybuss into city and had a one block walk. Couldn't be easier. European Hotel rooms are small but overall our rooms were comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was varied and to everyone's liking. I had requested early check-in (3 rooms) since we were arriving from States mid morning but rooms were […] not ready but they kept our luggage and we began our site-seeing. I would stay again Read more
"Great Location"
The Rica hotel is within steps of Karl Johans Gate and within easy walking distance to Ager Brygge and the Palace. The Bus from the airport drops you off a few minutes walk from the hotel. We only stayed one night, but the service was great and the room was comfortable. As Oslo is very expensive I thought this hotel was good value for money for the […] one night. Read more
"Perfect location"
The hotel was just a few blocks from major bus and tram lines to take you anywhere you wanted to go. It was just a few blocks walking from the harbor, ideal.
"Great location but no air conditioning"
I dont think many of the hotels have air in Oslo but we happened upon this lovely city in the middle of a heat wave. The hotel did give us a fan to use which was helpful and we stayed out till very late so that we would not have to smolder in the room. The room we were given was inside so their were no windows. The outside located rooms probably had […] windows that opened which would have been okay. The location however was great. Walking distance to the palace and the harbor. Staff was very friendly. We did not get to enjoy the breakfast as we flew out quite early in the morning. I would recommend this for price and location just not during the hot time of the year. I am sure all the internet rated rooms are located inside without the windows. Read more
"Great Hotel"
Very clean, great location, excellent breakfast.
"A good deal is Oslo"
The location is great, the breakfast is excellent, there is free wi-fi in the lobby, and the location can't be beat. Altogether, good value for the money in Oslo. Recommended.

"Excellent Highly Reccomended"
My stay in the Rica Hotel was Excellent. The room was immaculately clean and very spacious. The staff were friendly. The Breakfast was excellent with a very wide choice of foods. I would highly recommend this hotel to any one and I will stay here again next time I am in Oslo.
"Great hotel, great location"
Stayed in a superior room on the 8th floor. Very nice interior desing, comfortable bed, quiet room, only noticable sound was from the bells of the city hall adn the usual party people singing in the street. Personnel was service oriented and friendly. Breakfast buffe' really good. The location is perfect, just a block away from the main street of Oslo, […] and just a few minutes walk down to the harbour in front of the City Hall. This was our second stay, and we are coming back. This hotel is great value. Read more
"Oslo - capital of sleaze?"
The hotel is very ok at a central location. B U T what has happened to Oslo? Nowhere else in Europe I have experienced such a sleazy atmosphere (and I have been to most countries in both western and eastern Europe). During a short walk in the city centre I met multiple beggars and people trying to sell me drugs. This is not what you expect from the […] norwegian capital. Do something about it please! Read more
Nice hotel and location. I did not like breakfast room: it was crowded in the artrium, we could not find available tables and the service was slow. As a result - stressfull instead of relaxing breakfast.
"Rica Victoria Hotel"
There are a number of Rica Hotels in the area so make sure you get the right one! Good location and everything was fine. Would recommend for business traveller.
"A great hotel, would stay here again"
I was not sure what to expect when i booked this hotel for a business trip, when i arrived at the hotel i was very satisified. I think this is a good place to stay for business or leisure, its in a great loaction, just off the mail street but also very quite. I loved my room it was so cozy and inviting. I was also very impressed with the full buffett […] breakfast that was included in the room rate.I will be deffintally staying here again. Read more
"Hotel Rica Victoria, very central location"
The area outside the lift on the 6th floor had spillages, stains & used tea bags, not a very good impression when you step out of the lift for the first time, and to find it still there the next day.
"The Rica Hotel in Oslo"
The Rica hotel in Oslo was the best one we had in a two weeks vacation in Norway. Thalma and David
"best breakfast worst bed"
Stayed for 3 nights At first had a twin room comfatable beds but noisy, was changed to a double room on top floor with a soft and sunken in the middle double bed which was not changed. Besides that exelent breakfast staff and location
"Great choice for Oslo"
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Rica Victoria. The concierge is very friendly and helpful. Some helpful things that I found very positive at this hotel: 1. Free internet and wifi - Also free printing of anything you need. 2. Location, Location, Location. You are right in the center of downtown and literally a 2 -3 min wakl from the port area where […] you can take various sightseeing trips. 3. The breakfast - it blew me away. I did not have high expectations but it literally is one of the best hotel breakfasts you can have. The quality and selection is superb. If I were to return to Oslo, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Read more
"Rica Victoria hotel -"
Central hotel - close to everything - to museums, to sea, to bus, to underground, to shops - everything. Hotel was warm and in great condition and provided an excellent buffet breakfast. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay in the hotel, one we'd definitely recommend
"Nice hotel. Good service and well located."
A very nice hotel with good service, good value for money (£90 pounds for a night for a single room after taking into account the prices at Olso). Good quality of breakfast with international and Scandinavian elements and good variety. In walking distance from everything (city centre, port, Oslo opera house etc.). You can also walk there from the main […] train and bus station if you do not have a lot of luggage. Friendly and professional staff. Nothing to complain about. Safe choice. Read more

El hotel es cómodo pero el baño no de un 4*. El desayuno los domingos se sirve a las 8:00 y los días festivos. En el viaje tuve dos días de estos, con lo que eso fue una gran incomodidad, aunque el último día me permitieron bajar unos minutos antes. El desayuno está bien y la localización buena.

"Bra hotell med bra frukost"
Jättebra hotellvistelse med bra frukost. Lugnt och tyst på kvällen så att man kunde slappna av, något jag uppskattar då jag var där på affärsresa.
"Glimrande"
Perfekt. Resepsjonen ordnet taxi, sen utsjekk med et smil.
"Veldig sentralt og allikevel stille"
Beste hotell og plassering i forhold til avstander og lite trafikkstøy. Eneste minus va mangel på parkeringsplass til bilen.
