Review of Holmenkollen Park Hotel Rica

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel....

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel. The junior suite was just superb. The bed was one of the comfiest I have experienced, the mattress was bouncy and it felt like I was cocooned in it. The pillows and duvet were also luxurious and supremely comfortable. The room was totally sound proof and I can honestly say that I had some of the best nights of sleep there. The bathroom was generously sized, containing a bath and a shower, the water pressure in both was fantastic. The interiors of the hotel are stunning and give the impression of a scandinavian wooden lodge. The breakfast buffet, despite being a bit busy, comprised of typically Norwegian and European fare of an extremely high quality. The salmon, cakes and buns caught my eye in particular, as did the omelette/egg poach and waffle making stations. Simply wow!! The scenery from our balcony was just spectacular, like a wintry fairyland covered in thick blankets of snow. A fantastic hotel, would unequivocally recommend it to anyone staying in Oslo!!
