Radiumhospitalet Hotel in Oslo

Good points:
- clean room
- nice staff
Bad points:
- hidden reception
- hotel looked deserted and untrustworthy from outside (we actually thought that there must be another main entrance to the hotel)
- no clear instructions how to find reception outside of hotel (except for one norway-written note at call button)
- missing main light in room
- hard to open window in room
- main entry to hotel is opened only by reception, NOT by room card

This place is a fraud. Be careful: IT IS NOT A HOTEL!!

We were steered here by a Google search, and really Google should refund our money.

This is a place people come to stay to be near loved ones who are undergoing treatment at the hospital which occupies most of the building. It is no place for travelers. Located off a highway among nondescript office buildings and parking lots, this is HOSPITAL.

The rooms barely qualify as rudimentary, and there is nothing resembling hotel service. You can't even enter the building after business hours without being buzzed in by some invisible staffer. There is no lobby, no hotel facilities, and nothing accessible in the area. It is almost a mile to the nearest tram stop, and you need to cross under a highway to get there, trekking on dirt paths past construction sites and dodging vehicles along the way.

Your "room" will have a bed, a chair and a tiny desk. The bathrooms were built for hospital patients, and are exactly as comfortable. There are no coffee machines, no kettles, no instant coffee or tea bags, no minibars, and only two flimsy plastic cups to get you by. There is no place to go for even the most basic items, such as drinks, snacks or toiletries. The closest option is a gas station 7-Eleven.

You would literally be more comfortable at a hostel with a bunch of smelly millennials. Unless you have a relative in the hospital here, STAY AWAY.

Price was cheap compared to other hotels around. 30 min away from Oslo central station using metro. Area was ok except the building renovation is ongoing around the hotel. Due to building renovation project on going around the hotel, it was very difficult to find the hotel location. Once enter hotel, there were no indication where the reception is, had to look around and realize which is at 5th floor. Staff were not very friendly, surprisingly not like other people we had to talk to at Norway. Room was ok, But we were two and provided was 2 single beds with different height.
