Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you want the feel of an Oslo neighborhood, then this is a great hotel. It is somewhat close to the University of Oslo, and a lot of students live in the neighborhood which gives it a lively feel, but also not overly touristic feel. It is a European hotel which means that the beds are made with bottom sheet and duvet cover (something I like) and most of the fellow travelers are not American (something I also like). The front desk was very helpful in buying the Oslo pass & the breakfast has a lot of what Norwegians eat for breakfast.

This hotel is an oasis of calm located in an upmarket residential area yet within easy walking distance of the city centre. The reception and other staff we came into contact with were extremely helpful and eager to please. The hotel and bedrooms are furnished to a high standard as described and is a classic example of a boutique hotel. When looking at comparable hotels, I would select the Saga based on the quality of the breakfast alone which was exceptional. Whilst many staple items were on the buffet breakfast each day, the menu changed providing plenty of variety during our four-day stay. I would not hesitate to stay at the Saga hotel again.

I had to call this hotel from Australia to assist my sister as she was about to be stuck in a blizzard and was forced to leave her accomodation 3 hours out of Oslo and was very worried about finding a hotel that would let them check in late at night and was struggling with bad reception and dangerous roads. I spoke with Nicholas multiple times to arrange things and I was beyond impressed with how helpful and understanding he was. We were able to book a room incredibly quickly and he was so thoughtful of the fact I was having trouble getting onto my sister and was calling from overseas. She was able to check in around 1am and I was able to have the peace of mind of knowing she had a safe place to go to after a terrifying drive out of the mountains on the edge of a blizzard. So so helpful, efficient and kind when dealing with a worried lady calling at 10:30pm from another country. Amazing!

It is located in a nice quiet area of Oslo just outside the Nasjonaltheatret district. Within walking distance of a lot of the local tourist attractions. The family room (apartment) we stayed in had two bathrooms which is very convenient if you have people doing skin care routines. Nespresso machines are very much appreciated. Luggage storage is available and very much appreciated since we arrived in the morning.

Everything was great. I arrived early as I had morning flight, asked if I could work from the lobby. To my surprise the receptionist told me that I can check in immediately. The room was cozy, spotlessly clean and for me the highlight is underfloor heating in the bathroom. Very good choice for breakfast buffet, the hot food was different each day. Since we had to leave hotel early in the morning we were offered packed breakfast to take away. Location of the hotel is great within 15 minutes walk you can reach Oslo center ( National Theatre station having trains to/from the airport and all the metro lines, a few trams and busses), Royal Palace and Vigeland Park. The nearest tram (number 11) is less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants within 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel. I'm happy to recommend the hotel, and from now on it's my first choice in Oslo.

Beautiful, small hotel in a quiet, nice residential area within close walking distance to some very good restaurants, grocery and liquor store, and tram stops. Very clean room. Windows were well made and could be opened for fresh air, and they shut out any outdoor noise (we stayed during the May 17 Constitution Day celebration and although there was some music from neighboring homes we didn’t hear it once windows were closed). Very comfortable mattress- no sagging and not too hard. Staff were very friendly and well-trained, with good recommendations when we asked. Shower doors closed tight and kept water from running out on rest of floor. The variety and quality of breakfast foods and coffee were outstanding. Europeans and Scandinavians know how to put out a great breakfast!

I stayed for several days, and I received a first floor room next to the elevator, and next to the reception area and the bar. It was very difficult to sleep at night because they kept playing ambiance music, and other guests sitting in the lobby were quite load. The idea of a bar on the back of the reception desk is ill fated for such a small place.
The manager was not accommodating, and they did not want to close the door leading to the rooms. They offered me an alternative room on the upper floors which looked like reconverted attic.
The so-called courtyard is a horrible patio overlooking under apartment buildings.
The hotel is a regular BW hotel but overpriced. The professional pictures are quite deceiving. The hotel is not as nice as it looks. The breakfast takes place in claustrophobic basement.
I don't understand why they decided to open a bar when clearly there is not enough space and the first floor rooms are quite close.
I would not come back to this hotel due to the noisy room, and unfriendly staff. It is really overpriced for the quality of the rooms, the thin mattress, and the poor upkeep of the place. It is not a luxury hotel.

Stayed with the family. The rooms are spacious and sufficient. The hotel is well located for a city visit in a nice quiet area in walking distance of downtown. Staff was very friendly and efficient. We were most impressed by the breakfast buffet, a broad choice of all high standards.

Very nice hotel, nice decor and a nice room. Everything is very clean and fresh. Friendly staff, helpful. Delicious breakfast. The location is close to the city. You can take easy public transport in the surroundings. Walking is also an option. The only thing is parking. The hotel has a few parking places you can use without paying, in the surroundings you have to pay for parking.

Nice and clean hotel in a really nice part of town. Coffee shops and restaurants nearby. I could easily stroll to a nice tapas bar just 5 minutes away. Shops were also just around the corner and communication by public transport made my business trip super efficient. A big minus for me that the breakfast was served from 07:00 as I usually try to maximize my workdays while traveling in business.
