If you are looking for a hotel with charm, character, smiling staff and excellent food - then don't bother going to the Gabelshus. Set in what once must have been a lovely building, the hotel has at one stage been 'modernised', i.e. stripped of all its features except for a fireplace or two and a bit of wood panelling; the... more

a great place and good value in Oslo. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Located in a quiet residential area but only a short walk to the city center. Price included a good breakfast and nice dinner buffet. A definite recommend. more

I stayed in Gabelshus for a couple of nights in October while visiting friends and family. This is truly a cosy and very friendly place to stay. The location is great, very residential, and only 10 mins walking distance to the city center. The beds are great, and my room was perfect (ask for room 209). The hotel have several... more

Stayed in the Clarion Collection Gabelshus for 2 nights with my husband. Very nice area and convenient to the tram. Hotel old world with modern facilities. Lovely room with balcony and modern shower room. We opted for bed and breakfast and evening supper. Food for both breakfast and evening meal was buffet and you need to be early or else... more

Breakfast and dinner are included (a budget relief since this city is very... more

We stayed in the Clarion Gabelshus for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location was good - very close to the tram to the city centre. The waffles in the afternoon and the evening meal included were a great added bonus - the food in the evenings was very good! more

Very cosy old british style, nice comfortable room, good to have the option for a light evening meal and waffles during the day. Tea and coffee available for free. Close to the water if you want to have a nice walk or run. Many nice places within the hotel to just sit down and read a book. more

Stayed for two nights as part of a self organised Scandinavian capitals tour. Arrived by ferry from Copenhagen, and had a 10 min walk to the railway station/ main transport hub (although there is a bus service). The hotel is a 10 minute tram ride from town in a quiet street in a residential suburb. Super (and very quiet) location.... more

We have just returned from our stay at this hotel and really can't recommend it enough. A 2 minute walk away from a tram stop, very clean, helpful staff and the 24 hour free hot beverage station with the option to make your own waffles was a hit! On check in we was advised that dinner was from 6pm-9pm. As... more
