Great location in Oslo
We had a great stay at Hotel Continental. The location was excellent, making it easy to get around, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We booked a Junior Suite with a Corner Balcony, which was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The balcony was a wonderful bonus and a great place to relax. We'd happily stay here again.

Very Disappointing for a Five-Star Hotel
We stayed two nights in one of Hotel Continental’s premier suites at approximately $3,700 per night. Given its five-star positioning, Leading Hotels of the World membership and American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts affiliation, the experience fell remarkably short.
There was no doorman or bellman when we arrived, so my driver and I carried five heavy bags into the hotel ourselves. Luggage delivery was extremely slow, and while five bags initially arrived, 2 hand bags were missing. Calls to housekeeping and reception repeatedly went unanswered. We encountered stained and worn towels, a stained bathrobe, inadequate bedding for the king bed, and a replacement duvet that arrived around 10 PM and was still too small. Even basic requests required repeated calls. Bedding was replaced by a bellman.
Some individual employees were very good, including the receptionist, porter and Manager on Duty. The problem appeared to be the overall operation and management, not the efforts of individual staff.
What was particularly disappointing was the response after I raised these issues directly with Hotel Director Nina Henriette Brandanger and owner and CEO Elisabeth C. Brochmann. Rather than squarely addressing the cumulative failures, the response emphasized that it had been a “very busy weekend” and attributed aspects of our experience to Norwegian hospitality and differing personal expectations of a five-star hotel.
That response was almost as disappointing as the stay. Unanswered telephones, inadequate staffing, missing luggage and stained linens are not cultural differences or matters of personal preference.
Hotels have bad days. What distinguishes a true five-star hotel is both the consistency of its service and how management responds when it fails. At approximately $7,400 for two nights in one of Hotel Continental’s premier suites, both the experience and management’s response fell well short of the standard the hotel represents and charges for.

I'll try something else a second time.
The hotel is very conveniently located, close to everything. Breakfast is normal, nothing too much, but it's all there. The lobby bar is nice.
I didn't like the room, not comfortable, very narrow passage between the bed and the window, literally squeezing in to lie down. Bathroom without bidet or hygienic shower. Shells are tiny size two, better one but normal size. The shower cubicle is also modest in size.
They arrived at night, didn't put on a don't disturb and the maid came in at 8:00 a.m. That's a bit much.
