Radisson Blu Park Hotel, Oslo

Kom, ble svett, å det var det…

The location.

The rooms are too small-the shower area is for kids. The hotel needs to be renovated-as price and quality doesn’t match European standards.

Good service: Very polite and helpful concierge. Standard value: Room and breakfast quality are what you’d expect for a €120 European stay. Decor: Lovely pictures on the wall.

Bed comfort: The double bed kept splitting apart in the middle. Noise level: In some rooms there is a significant background noise from the building's ventilation pipes, even with the room's AC switched off.

Lets get this clear, this might have been one of the best pillows Ive layed down my head on in a long while! While the beds and pillows where wonderful the AC accualy being able to be turned down to a good sleeping temperature was absolutley amazing! And lead to a wonderful nights rest after the enjoyment of the city!

While i have a fair good things to say, the staff in the lobby where very good, kind and easy to deal with! The bar was a different story. This by far may have been the absolute worst whiskey sour Ive ever consumed and trust me when i say that Ive consumed alot of them in my days since i have a nack for enjoying a cocktail bar. The whiskey / bourbon selection for the drink itself was very very poor and incredibly bottom of the barrle even for a cocktail while still charging an premium price tag. Now hotells tend to be a bit expensive, but when a single drink will cost you the same as almost 1.5 drinks at VERY reputable and incredible high end cocktail bars only a few kilometers away is insane. After that the need for the bartender to pour in concentrated Lime zest that has probably been standing out on the bar in the heat for the last 2-3 months left an incredibly over powering Lime flavor that tastes rotten and honestly very vile. This together with what seamed to be the usage of aquafaba that had probably went bad based on the taste and smell of it while also lacking any real throth, this all poured over enough crushed ice to make a mojito blush and water down even the most heavy % alcohol in the world. This lead me to have about 2 sipps untill both me and my friend could no longer drink it. Hence i tried to tell the bartender how bad this went, and i was faced with an very comfrontational bartender and only after a while and him coming to my table and me having to sit down and have a very informational conversation with him did he ease up his frustration. Tl;dr The hotell itself was wonderful but for god sake stay away from the bar, go out instead.
