Kolbotn Hotels

Good location if traveling by car on the way to Oslo. The rooms away from the highway are quiet. Free parking. Breakfast was good.

Generally hotels in Scandinavia are relatively expensive and poor value, and it's rather difficult to find anything much better for the same price. The bathroom walls were not very clean. No lock at the bathroom door - this may cause inconveniences if traveling with small kids. Internet costs extra (unlike our other 7 hotels in Scandinavia during a recent trip).

quiet location and really good pizzas.

difficult to get around without car.

Furniture was nice enough. Three separate beds as promised.

Room was too hot to sleep. No AC and fan didn't function well. Very few outlets that also didn't seem to function properly. Beds were not comfortable.

Relatively cheap

No AC, dryer didn't dry clothes

Breakfast

Breakfast selection good. Good value for.money

Loved it

The location

there has gone a lot of things wrong for us at the grand hotel unfortunately. there has not been room cleaning the whole weekend. the video system dind't work proper and this could not be solved. the spa we couldn't make use of with our 2 1/2 year old, because he should be 3 years. unfortunately they could only inform us about this after we were dressed in our bading suits. the hotel staff wasn't very cooperating.

Close to city center and bus/metro stations

The breakfast.

A little bit expensive for the type of room you get. The price could easily be around NOK 900. That would be a reasonable rate.

Easy to be reached from the airport

Rooms connected from one door. All noises can be heard! Old rooms

Good location

Old facilities

Nice hotel with exellent staff and a good athmosphere. and also near to the city center

have stayed before- very accommodating staff, excellent rooms- good bus link to oslo centre- local cinema and shopping arcade. easy access to local hospital if needed and also lillestrom town

good breakfast but lacking fish dishes which have been in other Thon hotels

Nice hotel with a decent restaurant. Right across the street from the Metro.

Next to University, a lot of congestion in the area on weekdays.

Breakfast was an amazing addition. There is a grocery next to the hotel if you are in a budget. Staff was helpful trying to get us to certain locations around the city.

Kind of far from city center. I think 5 train stops away. Very little to complain about.

A good location, comfortable

The adjoining bar/restaurant was good. Enjoyable breakfast.

No. Hotel was fine.

The place is quite ice with a wonderful breakfast and competitive rates, but... The hotel uses a rope style security chain on doors that is child proof. My mother Is a strong retiree but couldn't open the contraption She became so afraid, she pulled at it so hard, the system failed only because it is simply nailed into a thin decorative door frame. Thank goodness no fire for those trying to get out, or any burglar who can easily break in (if he has the strength of an 85 year old.

Breakfast buffet was nice, good location

Didn't really have air conditioning -- our room was really hot which was disruptive

We don't know what we would have liked because our reservation was cancelled on the morning of our flight to Oslo because of a hotel workers strike.

Obviously, we didn't like the need to find another hotel at the very last minute.

Rooms were very comfortable with helpful staff. The breakfast was a nice variety of foods.

friendly staff

hypocritical staff

The relaxed atmosphere and pleasant staff. The breakfast. We were unable to attend the evening meals.

We did wonder if our room would be warm enough in deep winter, especially the bathroom. The wall heater did not work on the full range od settings.

Quiet, unobstrusive atmosphere

Even for a single room, rather small with eaves further limiting space on 4th floor

Arrived late, got bags and extra bed delivered. Breakfast room service - awesome meal! Great location

Strange drunk or druggie people outside hotel between hotel and train station. More than other EU capitols, all begging for money.

Great location right next to the rail station. Very nice hotel and room. Excellent breakfast.

No power plugs near the bed. Bed only had bedding for 1 person, even through we specified 2 at reservation and check-in.

Value for money and central location.

One staff member on check out was rude and not competent to carry out this function.

The faboulous breakfast

The mattresses could have been a bit more substantial.

Personnel

The staff was very friendly, and made me feel very comfortable, but I did not stay long enough to appreciate all the services the hotel would offer.

Perfect location near the King's Palace.

Unfortunately, our room was right over a bar with an extremely loud band playing till 2:30 am. If we hadn't had suitcases unpacked, we would have asked to be moved. Very short night of sleep.

Staff greeted us personally and were so helpful. Facilities excellent and breakfast was served until 11am so could have a lie in x

N/A

Breakfast Buffet was good. Location is good if your only interest is to be near the Telenor group headquarters.

Room very small, worn out, & cold. Bed very small and uncomfortable. Bathroom was dirty, especially shower curtain

Comfortable beds

Location not ideal. No pool or spa.

the room was very clean and comfortable - reception staff extremely polite and efficient and hotel met my needs

high cost

The hotel is in a very good position in the center of Ski. As iit is not the first time that we use the Thon hotel, it is now very familiar for us and we enjoyed their hospitality once more!

close to the shopping centre. Nice clean rooms.

No service in the restaurant. Have to order your meal at the desk!

The rooms where cleen and the beds nice.

The Thon Hotel Munch offers the basics: clean room; no shared bathroom; and breakfast.

The hotel location is not the most convenient

Friendly, competent staff. Everything is very professional. They went out of their way to be helpful in every way. The food was a truly gourmet experience.

Very convient and and comfortable but very expensive shuttle

Shuttle cost

Everything is clean. Recent fresh renovation has the Hostel/Hotel looking tip top from bottom to top. Beautiful lounge. Kitchen. Sheets and towels are Included. Sink in room. Lockers in room (Bring own lock). Seperate room for showers and toilets, keeping your shower low key. Everything was wonderful.

The price.

I liked the standard of cleanliness. The breakfast buffet in the morning. The access to a washer AND dryer. The proximity to attractions. The outside architecture. The separate dorms. The small size of the dorms. The option to have ensuite dorms.

The stark white halls That the lights were always bright in the hallways at night when others came into the room.

The beds were extremely comfortable and the breakfast was delicious!

The reception had a hard time giving us restaurant suggestions for the area.

We stay there every time we are in Oslo. very often .(good answer)

This time Bristol had an offer since they had an anniversry. 6 year. I was told when I arrived that we would get the same offer as my friend 500 kr. but next day , I had to pay full price. Must have people in reception that no have to answer.

Nice tv with two Danish channels included :)

I really missed a water boiler and some coffee and tea in the room. The beds were a little too soft.

Close to office, free parking and clean and nice hotel.

A bite off from city center no restaurants closed to hotel.

Location is superb when looking for a quiet place to stay. Views are breathtaking

Distance from Oslo citycenter is big. (Taxi approx. 40 euro's single trip)

Quality of The hotel: new, design, beautiful, fireplace in The lobby! The breakfast is amazing

They lie on their website: The say Its next to The subway, but The subway is on maintenance for 1 year! Youll need 45 min to go to The city (walk, bus, ...). The pool is not working, another lie ! My girlfriend was sick, i ordered in the room some simple food and they charged us 75euros for a single meal, without bread and water!!! Not acceptable. It could be a very good hotel, but they really need to improve the very bad service at The reception and stop lying! Oh, there is no tv in The room.
