Radisson Blu Oslo Airport

Index to Genius1 Trip Reports

My second visit to the Radisson Blu Oslo Airport (my first was documented here) and another one-night stay in a Standard room on the fourth floor. I had arrived quite early at around 12:00 and was pleased that the reception team were able to check me in a full three hours before the official time.



At 22m2, Standard rooms are more than spacious enough to meet the needs of most guests – mine came with a king-size bed, an armless relaxation chair and coffee table, a desk and a handy ottoman below the wall-mounted TV for suitcase storage with thoughtfully designed wall protection above. Power and USB-A sockets were within easy reach of both sides of the bed, with additional power sockets above the desk.











The minibar was stocked, and although there was complimentary tea, instant coffee and hot chocolate, there was no complimentary water. You’ll need to book a Superior room or higher if you want a coffee machine and a Junior Suite or higher if you want robes and slippers.



The bathroom was a little clinical with its small white tiles and came with a shower over the bath and Radisson Blu own brand amenities in individual bottles. Some of the sealant and grouting within the bathroom looked a little tired.







My view was largely of another wing of the hotel, although the airport’s control tower and part of the front of the terminal building could be seen to the right.



26 North Bar and Restaurant are the hotel’s dining venues; I didn’t require breakfast, but did sample dinner during my stay which was very strong for an airport hotel, even if the atmosphere was somewhat lacking due to the absence of background music and tables that were positioned closely together. There’s an overflow section to the restaurant beyond a curtain which is typically only used during breakfast; avoid sitting here for dinner, as the lighting is very dim. I asked to be moved to sit closer to the bar.



The hotel has a 24-hour fitness centre, but there is no pool or other fitness facilities.

In summary, a thoroughly decent airport hotel, well located just a few minutes’ walk from the arrivals level of the terminal building – although remember that there is a short uncovered section which is rather unpleasant in inclement weather.
