Hotel Christiania Teater

This was my second stay at Cristiana Teater Hotel, and it exceeded my already high expectations. From the moment we arrived, I was recognised at the front desk as a returning guest and welcomed with genuine warmth. I felt less like a customer, more like family member welcomed back after a trip. Arriving by train couldn’t be easier; the hotel is barely a three-minute walk from the station (with a train every 10 minutes to the airport). Its location is ideal, perfectly positioned across from the University and between the Royal Palace and Parliament. High-end shopping (Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton etc) is just a short stroll away, as are the harbour and the Nobel Peace Center. shopping, culture and whimsy - what more could a girl wish for? For this trip with my 20-year-old daughter, I wanted a larger room and was offered Suite 701. After a ride in the legendary elevator, I opened the door to what I imagine Alice’s bedroom might be. We both felt like falling through the looking glass. The space unfolded in charming, unexpected ways, as though it had been designed by someone who believes deeply in comfort and just a touch of magic. The room was both spacious and inviting, adorned with quirky, storybook-like art that encouraged you to pause, look closer, and smile. The true treasure, however, was a hidden reading nook tucked beneath two skylights and looking at the turret in the roof. What a delightful little rabbit hole of a space! A velvet-upholstered mattress lay there like a secret waiting to be discovered, layered with jewel-toned cushions and bathed in soft natural light. It felt suspended somewhere between dream and reality. My daughter took one look and declared that this was where she would sleep. Without us needing to ask, the Cristiana Teater team had already anticipated this and discreetly left a duvet in the dressing room. It was one of those thoughtful gestures that makes you feel genuinely seen. You might think the room would have been the highlight of our stay - but it wasn’t. Breakfast was every bit as memorable as I remembered it. A generous and delicious spread awaited us each morning: crispy bacon, eggs prepared every way imaginable, fresh fruit and berries, an impressive selection of yogurts (including plant-based options), freshly made waffles and pancakes, freshly squeezed orange juice and a variety of local delicacies. It was the kind of breakfast that encourages lingering and second cups of coffee with a square of carrot cake. But this review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the incredible staff. A heartfelt thank you to Henrick and Mathilde at the front desk. Not only did they effortlessly accommodate our spontaneous requests, but they also shared invaluable local advice such as where to enjoy perfectly grilled salmon by the water (The Salmon) where to squeeze in a last-minute manicure, and where to sip a cocktail with a view. Conversations with them were filled with laughter, insight, and a rare sense of genuine human connection - something increasingly hard to find in hotels today. I encourage you to discover this gem for yourselves. I will most certainly be back very soon.

From the minute we walked into the hotel, we knew we had made the right choice for our stay. The check in staff were extremely friendly and helpful and welcomed us into the hotel. The general atmosphere of the hotel was fantastic and the adjoining theatre gave the hotel a really great vibe. We booked a larger room and it was so gorgeous. It was very spacious and so beautifully decorated. The bathroom was large and modern and even had heated floor tiles and towel rails. The included breakfast is excellent and the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. We truly loved everything about the hotel and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend the hotel and hope to visit again one day.

We took a group tour through Oslo and stayed at the hotel. The hotel is in a great location for sightseeing and public transportation. Rooms are large and clean, and include interesting decor. As an older hotel, there are a few stairs to get to some rooms, so if you need step-free room access, make sure to request that when you book. Hendrik at front desk was exceptional! He made the check in process very easy for our group, and he continued to help us with our group's needs (including help in booking a doctor's appointment for one of our guests). He was always friendly, smiling and was eager to help. He was amazing!

We loved our stay here. The service was excellent and the food delicious! Being checked in by Brave was a very easy and wonderful experience, especially after a very long day of travel. He made us feel welcome and was able to upgrade our room. We will definitely come and stay again, especially because of how we were treated by Brage. Thank you!

Beautiful hotel, perfect location for business and tourism, great breakfast and immaculate service. Hendrik at reception is phenomenal, great service and even offered us an upgrade with heavy discount! Will definitely come back.

I had a brilliant stay with my partner at the Hotel Christiania Teater in Oslo. From the moment we checked in, stepping in from the freezing cold into such a cosy and stylish space, we were made to feel very welcome by the reception team. This hotel is an absolute must when visiting Oslo. We stayed for four nights in a Double Executive Room with a view of Regnbuesplassen. At this time of year, the square hosts a public ice skating rink, which I loved watching from our window. I believe that in November and December there is also a Christmas market right outside the hotel doors, which feels like a very good excuse for another visit. The room itself was spacious and very comfortable. The shower room was excellent, with strong water pressure, plenty of hot water, and eco friendly toiletries. I have long hair and usually travel with my own shampoo, but I used the hotel’s this time and was genuinely impressed. Not a hint of frizz. Now to the breakfast. Harald at reception told us at check in not to miss it, and he was absolutely right. My original plan was to have coffee only and save my appetite for Oslo’s renowned food scene later in the day, but the breakfast space itself quickly changed my mind. The atmosphere was beautiful, with candles, lovely tables, views from the windows, and warm, attentive staff. And then there was the food. While the coffee kept flowing, I certainly did not skip the rest. Crispy bacon, fresh eggs, fish, and of course brunost, Norway’s famous sweet brown cheese. There was also an excellent selection of breads, waffles, and sweeter options. I enjoyed breakfast so much that now I am home, I genuinely do not know what to eat in the mornings, which is very unlike me. The hotel is also home to a working theatre, and I loved the mix of hotel guests and excited theatre goers passing through the reception and bar areas. It creates a really lovely energy and sense of life in the building. I also really appreciated using the Strawberry app during our stay. It is a loyalty app where you earn Spenn, which is the currency awarded for your stays and can then be used towards future hotel visits booked through the app. It is simple to use and makes returning feel even more appealing. To sum up, we will absolutely be back. I am already excited to explore another Nordic hotel from the Strawberry collection, with Stockholm firmly in my sights next.

This hotel is in the building of the Christiana Theatre, a historic situation, right in the middle of the city near the Parliament, Royal Palace and grounds and the Port with the Nobel Peace Museum and the National gallery very close and the Opera and Munch museum only a 15 minute walk away. All the staff are really friendly and willing to advise on anything - we received really good advice on several little known things. The rooms are really comfortable. And the breakfast is a real event! Do not miss it! We will be back

Rooms were beautiful, the breakfast and dinner generous. The location is central for walking to tourist destinations etc.
