Hotel's Favourite
This hotel is an oasis of calm located in an upmarket residential area yet within easy walking distance of the city centre. The reception and other staff we came into contact with were extremely helpful and eager to please. The hotel and bedrooms are furnished to a high standard as described and is a classic example of a boutique hotel. When looking at comparable hotels, I would select the Saga based on the quality of the breakfast alone which was exceptional. Whilst many staple items were on the buffet breakfast each day, the menu changed providing plenty of variety during our four-day stay. I would not hesitate to stay at the Saga hotel again.

This is a lovely hotel to stay in Oslo. Slightly outside the centre but a nice walk through a safe area. Also very close to trams if you prefer. Very helpful and welcoming staff. Amazing breakfast, lots of lovely choice and some different items daily. Room was good size, well appointed and clean. Ensuite shower cubicle was small, but was the only downside. Very nice takeaway breakfast provided for early departure too.

Lovely hotel in a gracious neighborhood. Easy for walkers to walk to Karl Johan restaurants and shop. Also convenient to the wonderful buses. Breakfast was plentiful and gracious. Best of all, Marius and his staff went out of their way to be helpful, making suggestions and reservations, advising on transportation and being all-around pleasant and friendly. Now - dear Saga Hotel - please consider adding some hooks and shelves in the bathroom and why is the soap dispenser a foot from the sink so the soap drips all over? And, a hotel of your quality really should offer amenities like special lotion and conditioner and shampoo and the like. The all-purpose 'wash' in the shower is something I'd expect in a much lesser quality hotel. And please please put cream in the minibar for the use of us foolish Americans who cannot drink coffee, even from the sweet little pod coffee maker in the room, without it. And a half bottle of wine that cost less than $34 would be a wonderful surprise. Overall, however, we really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Saga.

If you want the feel of an Oslo neighborhood, then this is a great hotel. It is somewhat close to the University of Oslo, and a lot of students live in the neighborhood which gives it a lively feel, but also not overly touristic feel. It is a European hotel which means that the beds are made with bottom sheet and duvet cover (something I like) and most of the fellow travelers are not American (something I also like). The front desk was very helpful in buying the Oslo pass & the breakfast has a lot of what Norwegians eat for breakfast.

I stayed for several days, and I received a first floor room next to the elevator, and next to the reception area and the bar. It was very difficult to sleep at night because they kept playing ambiance music, and other guests sitting in the lobby were quite load. The idea of a bar on the back of the reception desk is ill fated for such a small place. The manager was not accommodating, and they did not want to close the door leading to the rooms. They offered me an alternative room on the upper floors which looked like reconverted attic. The so-called courtyard is a horrible patio overlooking under apartment buildings. The hotel is a regular BW hotel but overpriced. The professional pictures are quite deceiving. The hotel is not as nice as it looks. The breakfast takes place in claustrophobic basement. I don't understand why they decided to open a bar when clearly there is not enough space and the first floor rooms are quite close. I would not come back to this hotel due to the noisy room, and unfriendly staff. It is really overpriced for the quality of the rooms, the thin mattress, and the poor upkeep of the place. It is not a luxury hotel.

Great hotel, staff is amazing. Breakfast was great .. so much variety. Close to stores and restaurants, quiet at night. I stayed for 6 nights, it was partial business, partial leisure. You don't really have to stay in the busy area of Oslo, everything was walking distance. Close to the Royal Palace, Vigeland Park and other popular places.

My husband and I just took an epic Scandinavian vacation. It started in Oslo, and though we had been there once before, I decided I wanted to try a different hotel in another part of town. We chose the Saga Hotel Oslo. We were warmly greeted on an unusually warm Oslo evening, and given a corner room on the third floor. The room was big enough, but it lacked air conditioning. Most of the time in Oslo, this is not a big deal. However, it would have been useful to have it during our two night stay, as it was pretty warm when we visited. We had to choose between leaving the window open at night for cool air flow and listening to the partying neighbors across the street, or closing the window for quiet, but sweating a bit. We ended up closing the window and opening it in the wee hours of the morning. The staff was pleasant and helpful, and we enjoyed the one breakfast we had. I especially liked the carrot cake at breakfast. It was delicious. The bathroom was very small and quite basic, with shower doors that collapse into the shower stall and only a communal toiletry mounted on the wall-- combo shower gel and shampoo. But the hotel offers easy cab orders and laundry service, and there is even a bar area in the lobby. The hotel is in a residential area, but there are also restaurants and shops nearby. We were able to walk to Akers Brygge with no problems. All in all, it was a pretty good stay. But if I visited again, I would go when the weather is cooler.

The Saga was the perfect choice for our visit to Oslo. Our room was comfortable, clean, attractive,and quiet. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast is included and is wonderful. Perhaps the best thing about the Saga is the location. It is in a much calmer setting than the city center, but easily accessible to everything. We walked to most places. It is a two block walk to access Oslo’s fantastic transit system. Great connection to local attractions and the airport.
