Lysebu Hotel

Really beautiful place both the surroundings as well as the hotel. The room was really big and seemed quite new. Had both lunch and dinner which so so. While dinner was really good, it tasted like the mashed potato was not homemade but the powder stuff where you add hot water.

Slow check-in, paid extra for early check-in, but apparently so had about 20 other guests and only one receptionist. Check-in itself was quick and easy. Room was in a different building but still reasonably accessible given the snow. Very generous room with private access to balcony (lots of snow) sofa and storage all lovely, bathroom would benefit from a bath but other than that all good. Parking is paid for extra but hadn't registered our number plate. Wine cellar tour at 5pm was interesting but surprisingly to us (Australians!) no wine tasting was offered, just look at the bottles and imagine! Dinner at 7, perfect table for 2 at a window, outstanding 5 course match wine experience, service was polite, all comfortable and enjoyable. Breakfast served to room (option) was generous, prompt and fresh. Would recommend.

I want to start off by saying the staff were friendly and professional and the hotel is beautiful. I however witnessed an incident where the hotel director quite horribly degraded her employee. It left a bad taste in my mouth and makes me wonder what goes on behind closed doors in this establishment. I highly recommend the hotel and the staff, but I would not want to support a management that treats the employees this horribly.

Our room (433) was quite large and had a nice view of the mountains. We had plenty of storage space for our luggage. However, the bathroom was a bit cramped and offered little storage. The service at the reception and in the restaurant was very friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was significantly lower in quality than our previous stays. The menu should also offer more choice, especially if you stay more than one night. The breakfast, however, was of the usual very good quality and choice.

There is not enough staff. No bellman. No elevator. Had to carry our 3x25kg bags to the second floor by stairs. By the morning the breakfast opens at 7. Was 6:50 the food was already there. Our taxi to airport left at 7. Tried to pick up some fruits and sandwiches for my kid and a crazy woman started yelling at us. Really rude.

Wonderful place! Very quiet and just a short walk from the metro station of the Holmenkollen line. Gorgeous view over the city from the train during the descend! The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Very clean and comfortable room. I am going to stay there again next year.

I have visited Oslo 4 times and each time I choose the hotel. It is one of the finest hotels. The reception staff are friendly and welcome the guests. The breakfast is delicious, Forest view, fresh air, and modern design, I highly recommend it.

We booked this hotel for a short stay as part of our tour around Scandinavia, partly for the fact that it offered car parking and its closeness to public transport (why would you drive into Oslo?). Our arrival in rain and low cloud emphasised the peace and serenity of this place (and yes there was a wedding while we were there, but it did not intrude). Breakfast is very good and the staff were very polite and friendly. Excellent value for money

Lysebu is in a stunning location surrounded by forest. Our room was beautiful and has inspired us to do up our own bathroom in a similar way. The bed was comfortable, the room spacious and the view was gorgeous. We were lucky to have a small balcony to enjoy the sunset at the end of our wedding day (the venue at Frognerseteren). Our only issue I'd say was the breakfast, but it seems like the staff was a man or two down. The hot breakfast wasn't warm and we had to ask for cutlery, but we understood seeing as it's not the staffs fault they were down a person. We were really impressed with the homegrown honey and the selection on offer. Hope we get an opportunity to come back.
