Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Oslo
Room was good, disappointed with 2 single beds instead of queen/king bed. Think you should have more English TV channels, at the moment it's just CNN. BBC Nordic would be good as well as BBC News. Breakfast was good, but could have done with some veggie sausages or hash browns. Staff were friendly. ...
