Clarion Hotel Oslo Airport

Clarion Hotel Oslo Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Much nicer than I expected. Clean, comfortable bed, very quiet, very nice staff. Good value. Be warned breakfast and the airport shuttle are extra charges (unlike in the USA). It’s refreshing to pay for what you use instead of subsidizing other people’s use of a perk you don’t want. The shuttle was still a lot less than an off hour Uber or, if you want to save even more, the public bus stop is very close and half the cost."
