Tyrifjord Golf Club

The place was spacious as we had the two bedrooms. The apartment had natural cooling, which was ok as it wasn’t as hot while we were there and cooled pretty good with the windows opened. The kitchen was okay stocked, but didn’t have a few essentials like oven mitts and dish towel or cloth. Place was equipped with soaps and a few pods for dishwasher and one for washing machine. It does take some time to dry, but we hung some clothes up and they dried overnight. We were able to access key cards into building and room okay. It did take some time to hear back on the luggage room code, the messenging system seems automated, but we finally got through. There was bad reception in the basement as well. Overall a good stay. Location was close to grocery store and a relatively short 10 minutes walk from the train station. Some music at night, but wasn’t bad on weekdays. Sundays are quiet. The view was nice and so is the roof top patio.

Good

We recently stayed at The Thief in Oslo and it lived up to its reputation. Yes, it is expensive, but in our view it was worth every penny. Our room was beautifully appointed and very comfortable, and the staff throughout the hotel were unfailingly helpful. Breakfast was a real highlight: a superb spread with excellent service, and the scrambled eggs were amazing. Dinner options in the rooftop restaurant are more limited, but what we had was perfectly fine, and the setting is lovely. The gym is good and the spa is excellent, though be aware that spa access may cost extra depending on your room category, so it is worth checking when you book. Highly recommended if you are looking for a luxury break in Oslo. We would happily return.
