Hotel Continental

Hotel Continental Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Hotel Continental feels like stepping into Oslo’s living room — if Oslo had impeccable taste and a serious appreciation for understated luxury. This five-star property sits right on Stortingsgaten, and honestly, you can’t get more central than this without camping in the Royal Palace gardens. The lobby has that effortless Norwegian elegance thing down pat, where everything looks expensive but not flashy. You know what I mean — it’s the kind of place where you immediately feel like you should be wearing better shoes.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about Hotel Continental’s location — it’s ridiculously perfect, and the 9.6 location score isn’t just numbers on a screen. You’re literally a two-minute walk from the National Theatre, and Karl Johans gate (Oslo’s main pedestrian street) is right there. I mean, you can practically roll out of bed and be at the Royal Palace or pop over to Aker Brygge for dinner without breaking a sweat. Couples absolutely love it here, and after staying a night, you’ll understand why — there’s something romantic about being in the heart of everything while still feeling like you’re in your own little luxury bubble.

The Rooms and That Famous Sleep

The rooms at Hotel Continental have earned quite the reputation for their beds, and honestly, it’s well-deserved. These aren’t just comfortable beds — they’re the kind that make you question every mattress decision you’ve ever made in your life. The rooms themselves blend classic Norwegian design with modern luxury touches, though what really impressed me was how they’ve managed to soundproof everything despite being in such a bustling area. You get all the energy of central Oslo during the day, then complete tranquility when you need it.

Breakfast and Practical Perks

The breakfast situation here is actually quite impressive — they do both continental and buffet options, which gives you flexibility depending on whether you’re rushing off to meetings or planning a leisurely morning. What’s particularly smart is that they’ve secured private parking, which anyone who’s tried to park in central Oslo will tell you is worth its weight in gold. It’s these kinds of practical touches that explain why so many guests keep coming back — there are genuinely more repeat visitors here than at most other properties, and that says something about getting the details right.

Why Guests Love It

Hotel Continental has figured out something that a lot of luxury hotels miss — being genuinely useful while still feeling special. Yes, it’s elegant and well-appointed, but it’s also just incredibly well-located and thoughtfully run. The staff seems to understand that travelers want luxury that enhances their Oslo experience rather than isolating them from it. Whether you’re here for business, romance, or just exploring the city, this place puts you exactly where you want to be, then gives you a perfect retreat when the day is done.

The luxury concierge service in Oslo secures designer atelier fittings, heli-ski weekends, and gourmet cabins beneath the aurora.

  Great location, fantastic staff, a very nice hotel in the heart of Oslo.

• Betania from Brazil (8/10)

• Matthew from United Kingdom (9/10)

  This hotel could be compared to the Fairmont of North America…it is class and well run. All staff spoke excellent English and were more than happy to help. The hotel was clean and well put together. We had a deluxe room, which was wonderful, quiet, spacious. I would have loved a bigger bath, but that is minor. Breakfast was amazing, lots to choose from, either buffet or order. I'm going to stay here again
