this hotel is well located in oslo being a 180NOK taxi ride from DFDS ferry terminal coming from Copenhagen and a 200NOK taxi ride from Central station. It is a 5 min walk to the Waterfront which has recently been re developed into a buzzy restaurant and shopping area and another 5 minutes to the City Hall, Tourist office and... More

This is an interesting hotel that is a great value and in a great location in Oslo. The staff was very kind, answering my emails and questions even before I arrived, and then giving me great directions once I got there. The focus on conservation and being eco-friendly is apparent in nearly every aspect of the hotel. I stayed there... More

The hotel is green and self sustained. Quite a nice decor in the rooms, mac machines are placed on all rooms for TV and internet. The lady at the reception Halla was tremendously happy to serve with a smile. I had to leave early in the morning and the hotel made me packed breakfast, which was quite nice. They have... More

OK, I know I am going against the spirit of many reviews here but I wasn't bowled over by this place. Good points: Breakfast was lovely and felt very healthy. A short walk from Aker Brygge and its lovely views of the harbour. Evident commitment to sustainability which was important to me. Very quiet and I slept really well. The... More

A nice hotel in a quiet side street in Oslo. Friendly staff, we were an hour early and were allowed to check in without trouble and we were welcome with our two dogs. The beds were comfortable. The keyboard to the IMac didn't work and was replaced immediately. Excellent breakfast in the morning, free coffee and tea at all hours,... More

I stayed 1 night at Hotel Guldsmeden. Having to stay very often in business hotel, I have to say that this has been a very refreshing alternative. Room was equiped with 2 iMacs, and you could really tell see the attention to detail. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was really good as well. Minor negative points: in the shower there... More

Oslo is a nice town and I would highly recommend that travelers get the Oslo pass, just stay at a good hotel and buy it separately. While the Carlton was clean and the facilities were in good shape, the good points end there. It's location requires a long, possibly cold walk or a bus/tram ride to get to it. It... More

We stayed at the guldsmeden for two nights in december and couldnt fault it, very good value (in an insanely expensive city) compared with other Oslo hotels we looked at. It is a ten minute walk to the centre or harbour area, and the train/underground station. The rooms are quite compact, but vey nicely decorated, with some nice touches, four... More

We only had one night here but it was very comfortable indeed! We arrived mid evening and made use of the Spa facilities which were excellent! You can use the lovely organic spa treatments supplied ( bodywash, oils etc) and they make you feel great after a days travelling! After a nice relaxing time in the Spa we went back... More
