Radisson RED Oslo Okern

The hotel is located a bit outside of the city centre but with the metro close by - 250m approx. - you are in town in a flash. The airport bus leaves also close by so no need to take a very expensive taxi. Very expensive like in 200 euro one way. The hotel reception is manned by very friendly and positive minded people who will go out of their way to inform you on what is going on in town. Breakfast in particular is something you should not shy away from. It is very good and all freshly made. The one that hit us was their ginger-hot pepper shots that really will wake you up and get you going. Rooms are spacious with a wonderful rainshower or if you prefer the regular handshower. Beds are a 10/10. So all in all little to complain about other than that we had miscalculated that over Easter many things are closed...

Location was way better than I expected, as 2 different metro lines were within 7-8 minutes walk from the hotel. Nice and cozy rooms, great shower and one of the best hairdryer in the hotel I have ever had. Amazing breakfast full of different products and local touches.

This hotel is VERY nice. But the friendlyness, helpfulness and attitude of the staff is what makes this hotel way better than any other hotel in Oslo in this price category. Don'y expect staff with fake smiles, which care more about their outer appearance than you. These are just ordinary people, but with are real, trustworthy dedication and effort to make your stay a very pleasant stay. And every one of them are just as dedicated. And you can immediately tell they love their job. You won't find a grumpy receptionist here. I travel a lot, and have stayed in most good hotels in Oslo. This and the hotel The Thief are by far the two best hotels in Oslo. But if you compare pricing, Radisson RED is 4X better than The Thief. And the food is even just as good here as at The Thief. There are not a lot of restaurant in the area, but there are some. I recommend downloading the Wolt app and have it ready before you arrive and eat in. The staff will for sure be asking you if they can give you plates and cutlery. Without exception the plates have even been warm. The beds here are very nice. No synthetic bedlinens that gives you static electric shock, and destroys electronics. If anyone at the hotel reads this: never ever fall for the trap of saving money on bad synthetic bed linens.

From Oslo central, Økern is just a few stops on the metro. This was convenient, as prices were not reflective of centre prices, and a lot less expensive. The hotel is very stylish with good fixtures and fittings. Everything is such good quality. Breakfast was vast, with many many options. Enjoyed my stay a lot!

During my stay at the Radisson Red Oslo Hotel, I had a wonderful experience that combined comfort and style flawlessly. The prime location allowed me to easily explore the city's attractions, while the modern design and thoughtful amenities enhanced my stay. The energetic atmosphere and unique art installations added a vibrant touch to my visit. One of the highlights was the exceptional breakfast, featuring delicious local food such as Salmon and brown cheese – a delightful culinary experience.
