Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Continental stands out for its prime location, placing guests steps away from the National Theatre stop (directly accessible from the airport via Flytoget train) and within easy walking distance of key attractions like the harbor waterfront and Frognerparken. The rooms are generally spacious and well-appointed, with comfortable beds that many guests find exceptionally cozy. While some guests have noted that rooms facing the street can experience some noise, the hotel's delicious breakfast and convenient access to public transport, including trams and buses just across the street, make it a popular choice for exploring Oslo.
