Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Home Hotel Gabelshus offers a charming experience, with many guests appreciating its beautiful, historic building. The hotel provides convenient access to Oslo's attractions, being close to the city center, the Royal Palace, and just a short walk to the tram stop and line 13 which quickly takes you to Nationaltheatret. The inclusion of both breakfast and dinner is a definite highlight, with comments often mentioning the generous breakfast and the availability of coffee, tea, and even afternoon "fika". However, some guests have noted that the rooms in the attic are only accessible via a spiral staircase, which can be inconvenient.

shabby room narrow shower
the breakfast included much variety and was acceptable.
also, the narrow shower made it hard to move around, and the floor got wet since there was no proper sealing. it was inconvenient not having daily room cleaning. I had to request fresh towels from downstairs.

The hotel had an excellent breakfast and a tasty dinner. This was very plentiful.
The room had old carpeting and a very narrow shower. Thankfully we are not big people. The floor got all wet, and they would not clean the room for stays longer than one day, inconvenient
