Hotel Gabelshus is a gorgeous property and unlike anywhere we have ever stayed. We felt like we were in a manor home from the 16th century. There is a library, a dining hall, and other nooks and crannies where you could curl up on a sofa or set of chairs and enjoy tea and read a book.
The interior of our room looked as if it were in a home decorating magazine. The wallpaper matched the pillows and the carpet. There was a small lounge area in the room where you could sit and socialize or just relax.
The price included breakfast, a coffee/sweet hour and dinner. The food and choices were good with several beverages offered, however, more than once the food wasn't hot. Especially at breakfast, twice I ate very cold Scrambled Eggs and Baked Beans. I know you make a big pot and it is hot when you bring it out to the serving line, but please put down a heat source so the food stays hot while it it out on the line to serve.
Location is good for public transportation with quick access to the tram.
Very, very small elevator so if you are elderly and use a walker, this might be difficult. Also, the toilet was in a very, very small corner of our bathroom so tricky to use. Again, a handicapped person could not have used our bathroom toilet, so tell the staff ahead of time if you need special accommodations.
We would recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again if we return to Oslo.
Thank you to all at the Gabelshus!
