Park Inn by Radisson Oslo

Park Inn by Radisson Oslo Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Park Inn by Radisson Oslo, you immediately get that “right in the thick of things” feeling. This three-star hotel sits on Øvre Slottsgate, which honestly couldn’t be more central if it tried — you’re literally steps from Karl Johans gate, the main pedestrian street that every visitor ends up on at some point. The lobby has that clean Scandinavian aesthetic you’d expect, nothing too flashy but definitely welcoming after a day of exploring Oslo.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s what I love about this spot — you can walk to pretty much everything worth seeing without breaking a sweat. The Royal Palace is practically next door, and the National Theatre is maybe a three-minute stroll. I mean, couples give the location a 9.5 rating for good reason. You know what’s really nice though? Even with all that central action, the street itself doesn’t feel chaotic or touristy in that overwhelming way some city center hotels do.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d want from a solid mid-range hotel — clean lines, comfortable bed, and a decent-sized window that actually let in some light (which matters more than you think during those short Norwegian winter days). Nothing groundbreaking, but everything worked properly, and the shower had good water pressure. The design feels distinctly Nordic without being too minimalist — there’s still some warmth to it.

Breakfast Worth Getting Up For

Honestly, the breakfast here surprised me in the best way. They’ve got this buffet setup that covers all the bases — vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options alongside the traditional Norwegian spread. The smoked salmon was actually good quality, not that sad hotel fish you sometimes get, and they had proper Norwegian crispbread. What really impressed me was how they handled dietary restrictions without making it feel like an afterthought.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to be the most Instagram-worthy hotel you’ve ever stayed in, but it gets the fundamentals right. The location means you’ll save money on transport and actually have time to enjoy Oslo instead of constantly figuring out how to get places. The staff knows their stuff about the city — they gave me solid recommendations for places that weren’t just the obvious tourist spots. For the price point, especially in a city as expensive as Oslo, you’re getting genuine value rather than just paying for a bed.

To book a hotel in Oslo during Nobel festivities, visitors plan ahead to balance gala nights with Vigeland sculpture strolls.
