The business class rooms are normally the same size, but they are on the refurbished floors.

If you want a bigger room, at the standard price, I recommend you ask at check-in for a corner room (the corner rooms with the mountain view have numbers ending in 14 and 23 - such as 1014, 1114, 1214, etc.) I can't remember the numbers of the sea-view corner rooms (I prefer the mountain view).

Again - the corner rooms are just the standard rooms, but designed for families, and there are more corner rooms in the 23 storey hotel than families needing to use them (normally).

Do ask for a room on one of the re-furbished floors if you can (although I often stay on 9 and 14, and both are fine).


Note also that if you are coming from OSL, the FlyToget (train) stops at Nationaltheatret station, which is 3-4 mins walk from the Scandinavia across the park by the palace (depends if you have bags, I guess), or you can get off at Oslo S (sentrale) station, and get a cab (100NOK ish).

Only 50% of the trains go to Nationaltheatret.

Have fun.
