Review summary

Based on recent reviews

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.

The breakfast was great. it offered a wide variety of options and the service was attentive. the location was also very convenient. It was easy to walk to many attractions.

The room felt a bit dated. the bathroom was quite small. It lacked sufficient counter space. the elevators were also slow. This caused some delays during peak hours.
