What is your Radisson Rewards status?
Premium

Where did you stay?
Radisson Blu Plaza Oslo

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked standard twin room, then booked an upgrade to premium panorama fjord room upon their email invitation (1360NOK extra) - hoped for a suite upgrade (next room level but they upgrade to max premium room level)
At checkin they said - „I see you booked an upgrade - we can take the upgrade charge off the bill as you are premium member“ - so I saved the upgrade price and got the best upgrade they could provide.

Did you receive elite benefits?
Complimentary Room Upgrade - Yes
Early Check In - Not needed
Late Check Out - Only until 14:00
In-Room Welcome Gift - Nothing

How are the rooms
All rooms have the same size 26m2 - premium rooms have a nespresso machine and bathrobe and slippers as extra. Room categories depend on views (city view, fjord view - on lower floors and panoramic city view and panoramic fjord view on the upper floors) - the surcharge for the view is a bit steep and I would not book rooms for the view. View can be had on the top floor bar as well - still the upgrade into a room with nice view is a plus.

What was good and what was bad?
Staff was super friendly, breakfast had plenty of choices. However breakfast is extremely crowded. They hand out breakfast vouchers for specific 30 minute timeslots. Still the breakfast room is too crowded. Anyway you could also go to breakfast at another timeslot.

Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
Definitely value for money - especially when you book with the discount booster.
