"An absolutely excellently run hotel, from the hand-written welcome note from the General Manager to the excellent steak restaurant – everything was superb. Highly recommended!"

"Definitely the best hotel in Norway... hands down."

"Britannia Hotel is absolutely fantastic. High quality, charming, elegant and classy. Everything was clean and fine, with highly polished floors. The staff is totally friendly and helpful. Front desk folks were very friendly and helpful. Nice welcome greeting of champagne and fresh fruit greeted us when we entered our spacious suite. Great housekeeping service. Wonderful breakfast buffet. Do not miss it! Fabulous fresh fruits, cheeses, all kinds of freshly baked bread and pastries, and an egg station (eggs Benedict was not too good, surprisingly, but the omelets were good). Fantastic fresh squeezed orange juice. Yoghurt and granola. Best part of the hotel: Stan the concierge. Super knowledgeable and knows the best of everything. Dedicated, professional, friendly and efficient. Clearly loves the hotel and loves his work. Think of the hotel manager in the movie Pretty Woman. He’s just awesome."

"From the minute we pulled up outside the hotel the doorman was there to assist with baggage and a friendly smile. We unfortunately lost our luggage and the friendly staff at reception were quick to arrange a car to go and collect the luggage for us even though it was after 11pm that night! Fantastic service! The bar area is so cozy and I loved the fact that when we arrived our room wasn't ready so we said we would sit and have some lunch and there were so many older ladies having high tea which apparently happens every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday they come every single week. What a jolly and happy bunch of ladies. The service in the bar area was phenomenal. The passages to the rooms are beautiful and the rooms are very big. Such comfortable beds and huge fluffy white towels. Also a turndown service in the evening. We went to one of the restaurants within the hotel (Jonathan Grill) and were blown away - you cook your own meat on an open flame and get a huge amount of extra's so it is a very communal dinner. Very special and unusual. The Palmenhaven breakfast ..... oh my goodness me! This is THE best breakfast in the World! Nothing can compare! Here too the chef was so chatty and nice and friendly and the restaurant staff very professional. I honestly cannot fault this grand old school hotel at all! Thank you to everyone that made our stay so comfortable and amazing."
