"Arrived in oslo with paid reservation at thon panorama (even had a confirmation the day before) only to get there and find a sign in front saying closed for refurbishing and that booked guests should call this number.

"A well located hotel close to the Royal Palace. It was modern with a range of amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast - lots of choice & good quality food - there was something for every taste or preference. Most staff were friendly & helpful, with the exception of one member of reception staff, who was highly inconvenienced when we asked for a fresh glass in reception so we could take a drink of water to our room - he said it was too late to get fresh glasses (at 9pm in the evening). Instead...

What is a historic hotel like in Oslo?
Guests who choose historic hotels have the opportunity to stay in a place officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Oslo typically preserve original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in guestrooms or communal spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. “Historic hotel” is more commonly used in the U.S., while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the architecture and building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place’s cultural value and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in Oslo have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you’d find in a hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Oslo doesn’t mean you will stay in a place that’s rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
