This is a hidden gem of Oslo. Perched amongst the woods atop Holmenkollen, the setting is stunning with views across Oslo and the bay. Close enough to the city (the metro stops half a mile away after curling up the mountain from the city centre) to enjoy the delights of Oslo yet far enough away to revel in the natural... more

It took ages to get to the hotel - 500 NOK in a taxi from the Oslo sentral station. Recommend getting off at Skøyen instead. Still 300 NOK to there though. Would recommend avoiding taxis if possible in Oslo, they're a complete rip-off. Didn't have time to find the tram station that was supposed to be 10-15 minutes walk from... more

Beautiful, ambient, tranquil, peaceful environment. The hotel is located in the midst of a forest up on a hill. Browsing the internet websites on accomodations in "Ushlu" this hotel was described as being a 3,5 star quality one. Actually it does definitely deserve the 4* rating. The hotel is really spacious in all terms. Not just the double-bed rooms, but... more

I stayed at the Soria Moria for 1 night in September with my boyfriend - it was our first night in Norway on our 9-day holiday. We really enjoyed our stay, however this is very obviously a conference centre! The general look of the place and it's size (and labyrinthine layout) are consistent with a business destination rather than a... more

I stayed at the Soria Moria hotel for 3 nights when vacationing in Oslo. It's nice, clean and quiet. It has a nice swimming pool and a sauna. If you don't have a car however you will be forced to eat at the pricey hotel restaurant (I believe the dinner buffet is 225 NOK). The closest other restaurant is also... more

There have been a lot of great reviews about this hotel and, being a regular business traveller to Oslo who generally gets little choice about what hotel to stay at, I was delighted when the email came in from my travel desk telling me that I was booked into the Soria Moria. The hotel is located far from the city... more

We agree with most of what others have said. Just like to let you know if you miss the last train from centre ( leaves at 23.43) and need to take taxi up it cost us 450nk!! for 15 min journey. But if your flight gets in before 21.30 to Torp then you may be okay, and should manage to... more

We stayed here for one night and we loved this hotel. After a long and very rocky ferry trip from Copenhagen we couldn't wait to check into our hotel. The ride up to the hotel was beautiful with great views over Oslo. The walk was longer than we expected and its up hill with no pathways so if you are... more

Visited Soria Moria for 3 nights on Friday 16th March 2007. Arrived at Torp airport and took the Express bus to Olso bus terminal (250NOK return ticket per person - takes around 1 hr 45 mins). First time in Olso, and carrying luggage, so took Taxi from rank outside the bus terminal to Soria Moria (cost 350NOK which is quite... more
