The Oslo Guldsmeden is set on a quiet residential street close to the bustling Aker Brygge waterfront district. Chic, eco-friendly interiors and an on-site hammam with sauna, bath tub and steam bath are this quirky boutique hotel’s chief attractions. Stylishly rustic guest rooms with wood flooring and reindeer pelts feature four-poster beds, flat-screen TVs and organic toiletries. Superior rooms provide seating areas; suites boast free-standing bath tubs (in-room). Guests can relax in a cosy lobby-lounge with a comfy day-bed and a fireplace. Other amenities include free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour reception. A complimentary organic breakfast is served in an informal dining room each day. The Oslo Guldsmeden is a 10-minute walk from the grandiose Royal Palace and gardens, and a 15-minute stroll from the pretty Eidsvolls Plass public square. The striking Oslo Opera House is a mile-and-a-half away.
Tucked away in a quiet little residential enclave yet still an easy walk away from both the centre of town and Aker Brygge (one of Oslo's most happening districts); this hotel strikes the perfect balance between being a quiet retreat and a handy base for enjoying city life. Many guests also loved having the Ruseløkka tram stop so close by.
The vast majority of guests who've stayed at this hotel have raved about the delicious organic breakfasts that are served up here for free. Loaves of bread served fresh out of the oven are a perennial highlight.
In addition to speaking perfect English and affording a genuinely warm welcome, guests loved the fact that the ever-so-friendly personnel are always happy to go out of their way to ensure your expectations are fully realised.
A significant number of guests have been unimpressed by the amount of space they had to play with in their rooms. Indeed, some visitors said they had to push their suitcases under the bed just so that they could walk to the bathroom.
Numerous travellers have noted that, as well as noise from the street, the lacklustre soundproofing here makes it far too easy to hear your neighbours talking and moving around.
Visitors who arrived in the summer months were less-than-thrilled to discover the on-site restaurant effectively shuts down for a couple of months during that time. Happily, there are plenty of other eateries close by; including a cute little Korean place (‘Gangnam Korean') just three minutes' walk away.
