“This grand hotel, dating back to 1920, delivers a certain high standard in the heart of Oslo. Its location is superb, close to the main street, the Royal Palace and National Gallery, while the breakfast buffet alone is worth the stay. I was particularly intrigued by the Library Bar with its live music and extensive gin selection.”
