Lysebu Hotel | Hotel in Holmenkollen

“Only the superior room is really nice and has a view . Great breakfast I think this is the only big plus. Thus, some many negative impressions that could cancel the cosy feeling.of the building: you pay the parking a lot really a lot, almost like in a public parking No pool included in the room rate. Dinner choice very bad and expensive. The service poor you can not really relax and enjoy. I did not get the feeling that they appreciate when you choose their hotel. Very far, difficult to get in the night. Finally I use IA to find a free parking and metro to avoid paying the parking in the hotel . No guidance for tours or activities. At checkout nobody there during early hours and no breakfast option. During 5 days nobody came to empty the bin and I had to ask for a new towel , otherwise not provided. Take care of the bill I don’t understand Norwegian but I got the feeling that my bill was not correct. It’s a pity because the hotel is very nice but they need to fresh up the management.”

“The buffet in the restaurant was not up to the standard one expects from this hotel. They even run out of deserts. Hopefully they will up their game.”

“About 30 mins from Oslo centre is this charming historic hotel. The breakfast has to be one of the best I’ve had anywhere in Scandinavia, the only downside is travelling between Lysebu and Oslo central train station.”

“The historic property is amazing. The sauna and pool was fabulous and the dinner was incredible. Highly recommend.”

“This was the most amazing hotel I've ever stayed in. I hopped on the Metro from Oslo City then walked the 10 mins in an amazing Spring mist which gave a fairytale feel to the hotel (to others it may have been horror movie esque as long roads, can't see very far etc but each to their own). After checking in the spotless room (check in was unbelievably straightforward) and marvelling in the serenity of the peace and quiet I checked out the pool, gym and sauna which are all very well maintained and just added to the overall experience. The area surrounding the hotel has trials and forests aplenty so if you're hiking, base yourself here as the views are outstanding even on the metro journey up too! Can not recommend the hotel enough!”

“An amazing place with a fascinating history and incredibly beautiful surroundings. The staff were mixed - some excellent, some medium. The restaurant is an beautiful environment with views of the forest on 3 sides. The food there is fine but extraordinarily expensive, e.g. $60 for an open face sandwich.”

“A dream of a retreat. A 35 minute metro journey from Oslo S station and a 10 minute walk reveals a stunning secluded hotel that hides many annexes. The views and trails close to the hotel are astounding and the silence……is deafening - just the birdsong to listen to - heaven. The expert staff are knowledgeable and efficient in their responses and the many rooms - I am sure we didn’t find them all - are all clean and comfortable with many aspects of the hotel’s history on show. This is a fantastic place to stay. The breakfast is plentiful and with much choice and some mornings the cooked choices could have been warmer. A minor criticism for what is one of our standout stays. You even get a spectacular sunset in the staff car park around the back if you are not fortunate enough to be allocated one of the rooms to the left as you walk down the main hall away from the reception area.”

“Staff were amazing, property beautiful ”

“Bra”

“Room was beautiful. The entire property is filled with painting, sculpture, warm elegant design details. We walked from the metro and it is a bit of a hill but not too long and worth it for the views and privacy. ”
