Bad experience booking through Expedia as it is a no staff hotel so had to register and book though their clunky app when I arrived, which kind of spoils the whole prebooking via a platform approach.

Mixed feelings
Great location, lovely new apartments, very comfortable room. However, frustrating changing door codes, only 1 working washer/dryer, no floor cleaning for 6 days, random room cleaning and towel changing, got very tedious.

Hotel Filip was modern and a short walk up from Aker Brugge and the water. The room was spacious, as was the bathroom. The toiletries were of a high standard. Our only criticism was the TV, as we couldn’t work out how to use it, but that was an us problem:) Highly recommended.

Shockingly beautiful interior and quiet location given its proximity to busy road and cheaper prices than more central hotel locations. We were so happy staying at Hotel Filip! Beds are super comfy, rooms are very spacious and facilities are updated. Remote check in was seamless. Only complaint is housekeeping never came to our room. Location is walkable despite appearing kind of out of the way on Google Maps. Thank you Hotel Filip, we will be back!

Overall, this was fine, but there were some issues. The room was clean and comfortable, and fine as a base for exploring Oslo. There is basic cooking stuff there if you want to self-cater, and there's a Mega Coop supermarket 5 minutes away in Aker Brygge. There's no kettle, though. However, checking in was really difficult as the confirmation email with the access code wouldn't send for ages. It took an hour to fix, which was a long time after many hours travelling. The woman who sorted it was helpful and polite, but it was a frustrating time. Oslo was experiencing a heatwave (30 degrees), and we took ages trying to work out how to make the air conditioning work. Having phoned the helpline again we were told it only applies to the bathroom, which isn't clear; and we never managed to get it to cool the bathroom down. There's a lack of information in the room about what there is, how to do things. E.g. the TV has no tuned in channels, and the helpline said it was only there for guests to stream stuff from their own devices, but it would only do audio, not video. There's a QR code with the room guide, but it was has very little information. Not having staff on site means it's not easy to navigate when you first arrive.

Great location.
Visited Oslo for the Bislett games and hotel filip was approx a 25 min walk from stadium, it was also 10 mins walk from nationaltheatret station. Location is very safe, good sound proofing and easy to access as info was provided in a timely matter and all in all I would return. I would maybe suggest a corner shelf in bathroom as it was hard to balance basic toiletries on the sink and there was no other space.

Very comfortable beds and clean room. The coffee maker is a Nespressó and the coffee is good. Their shampoo, body wash and soap is one of the best I have been offered in 25 year traveling experience. The kitchenette is useful to prepare breakfast early. There aren’t many breakfast places nearby and hotel has no restaurant or cafeteria. Is a high tech smart hotel. Not my favorite system. Service was very limited and it takes time to get requests fulfilled. Make sure you order via email early am for extra toiletries and coffee or else, otherwise you will have to go buy your own. Be mindful this hotel has no A/C and if temperature is 65 Fahrenheit and above you will have to leave windows open and you will have to try to sleep with city noise. Public buses pass by the hotel regularly and the maintenance crew from next door park start using their trimmers and blowers at 7:30am onward… The elevator was broken for approximately 48 hours and we were in the 3rd floor. Location is good as well. I beleive there could be better value/ service offerings out there.

An excellent choice for our trip to Oslo, brilliant value, clean rooms and I found that having no reception desk was useful for being out late in the city. Enjoyed the extras such as coffee machine, snacks and water provided. Would absolutely stay again if/when we find ourselves back in Oslo. Thank you :)

Very nice place
Location was good, 15 min walking to the centre, sea is near. Room was spacious, clean, bed super comfortable, dish washer, coffee maker...very satisfied. I was surprised by completely absence of any employee but regarding that, I concider that availability to customers should be much better. Still, no response to my email (and I checked out 5 days ago). There is a phone number available but it is not Viber or WhatsApp number. You should take in consideration that you have guests from abroad. TV interrupted constantly and it was impossible to watch anything.

Basically, the hotel was clean but the staff was horrible. We were making a little sound and they came to our room did introduce themselves as part of the hotel or provide any reason for them being there. They searched the room, bathroom, and even under the bed asked for my ID to prove I rented the room. It was scary and completely inappropriate for them to do that. How they handled this was awful and honestly would recommend to stay away after this truthfully scary experience.

Hello Gabriel.We have a security company that patrols the hotel at weekends. This as it must be quiet in the hotel after 11 p.m.They rarely enter the guests' rooms. Only where there is noise, which disturbs other guests.We are sad that you felt that this was something negative, as we only do it to make all guests happy, and not just a few.We still hope that you will visit us again, on a later occasion.SincerelyHotel Filip

Fantastic hotel and stay in oslo
Thank you Hotel Filip for making our 40th birthday weekend special. Positives - The hotel is modern, fantastic and has the best location. The rooms are spacious and one of the comfiest beds ive slept on. The location is a 5 min walk from ayer brygge which is the new updated area in oslo with so many restaurants and bars and isnt far from all the attractions. Special mention for thor the manager who was always there if you needed any advice or assistance. Only negative is that a bath mat for the shower would be ideal as the floor in the bathroom got pretty wet after a shower. Overall, this is a superb hotel and one that i would strongly recommend.

The room was big enough for the five of us, modern. The beds slept lovely and the futon was also oke. We would eadvise the hotel to clean the closets on the top 😀. Als would we advise to split the light buttons. If you turn out the light now, the both rooms are dark. We ate in the 'garden', wich was fine. I cooked us a simple meal. The appartment was near the port area, i loved it.
