Hotel Filip

Everything about this hotel is weird. Only after you book, you realize that there is zero staff to help with anything. My room was quite small, had really low ceilings and barely any natural light. Definitely never staying there again.

We had an excellent time and the accomdations were lovely! The services were tip top!

App for entry difficult to use - me and several people stuck outside while I was there. Roof windows in my room had no blinds Sun set 22:43, sun rise 03:54 and it never actually got dark. Very poor sleep until I bought an eye mask. No restaurant of any kind.

Very unusual venue. Not really a proper Hotel. Everything is done with the mobile phone/internet and there is no easy way to contact someone. Everything could be ok if you just need a place to sleep (nice rooms btw) and you are arriving late in the afternoon and departing in the morning. But if you need to check in sooner than 3pm or leave a bag in storage. It’s simply not possible.

Unfortunately no breakfast option in the hotel. The bathroom was very tight but clean and modern.

Beyond pleased with absolutely everything of this hotel. The room, its decor, its location , its soaps and creams. Wish I could live here forever.

Bad experience booking through Expedia as it is a no staff hotel so had to register and book though their clunky app when I arrived, which kind of spoils the whole prebooking via a platform approach.

Great location, lovely new apartments, very comfortable room. However, frustrating changing door codes, only 1 working washer/dryer, no floor cleaning for 6 days, random room cleaning and towel changing, got very tedious.

Great location for a visit to Oslo. All instructions sent upfront and was very easy.

Very modern with individual door codes for each guest. Very close to Aker Brygge, which is a great place to eat out and soak up the atmosphere. Close to the centre with transport links, but walkable too. Great place to stay

The only negative thing was that I couldn’t get the aircon to work and it was a very warm and humid weekend!

Hotel Filip was modern and a short walk up from Aker Brugge and the water. The room was spacious, as was the bathroom. The toiletries were of a high standard. Our only criticism was the TV, as we couldn’t work out how to use it, but that was an us problem:) Highly recommended.

Shockingly beautiful interior and quiet location given its proximity to busy road and cheaper prices than more central hotel locations. We were so happy staying at Hotel Filip! Beds are super comfy, rooms are very spacious and facilities are updated. Remote check in was seamless. Only complaint is housekeeping never came to our room. Location is walkable despite appearing kind of out of the way on Google Maps. Thank you Hotel Filip, we will be back!

Fully stocked kitchen has no microwave No cover/curtain/blind on window above the door so summertime « nights » in Norway can be bright - not sure they’ve thought about it. Absolutely no way of having a left luggage facility or information. Otherwise a very clean and quiet property but I am not going to stay here again.

Property is very well appointed, very handy for river front and nice walk to the Centre

Overall, this was fine, but there were some issues. The room was clean and comfortable, and fine as a base for exploring Oslo. There is basic cooking stuff there if you want to self-cater, and there's a Mega Coop supermarket 5 minutes away in Aker Brygge. There's no kettle, though. However, checking in was really difficult as the confirmation email with the access code wouldn't send for ages. It took an hour to fix, which was a long time after many hours travelling. The woman who sorted it was helpful and polite, but it was a frustrating time. Oslo was experiencing a heatwave (30 degrees), and we took ages trying to work out how to make the air conditioning work. Having phoned the helpline again we were told it only applies to the bathroom, which isn't clear; and we never managed to get it to cool the bathroom down. There's a lack of information in the room about what there is, how to do things. E.g. the TV has no tuned in channels, and the helpline said it was only there for guests to stream stuff from their own devices, but it would only do audio, not video. There's a QR code with the room guide, but it was has very little information. Not having staff on site means it's not easy to navigate when you first arrive.

Visited Oslo for the Bislett games and hotel filip was approx a 25 min walk from stadium, it was also 10 mins walk from nationaltheatret station. Location is very safe, good sound proofing and easy to access as info was provided in a timely matter and all in all I would return. I would maybe suggest a corner shelf in bathroom as it was hard to balance basic toiletries on the sink and there was no other space.

Close to water-side restaurants, easy walking to centre. Simple, self-service (unmanned) hotel at good value price.

Easy and clean

The hotel was close to good restaurants however was hard to get to from the train station and was asked to check in on-line, however we could not connect to the link.
