Clarion Hotel Oslo
Cannot fault the hotel and would highly recommend. The breakfast was outstanding, amazing variety and the quality of the food was also fantastic. Particularly loved the omelette station, fresh smoothies and lemon and ginger shots! The hotel bar is of a very high standard and we enjoyed drinks here ...
