Review by hotel critic
Nestled atop a hill with picturesque views of the surrounding landscape, the Ronningen Hotel offers a practical retreat that balances comfort and value. As a landscape photographer, my visits to new locations often leave me exhausted, and after a week of hiking the Oslo forests, I was eager to find a cozy spot to rest. The hotel isn't your typical hostel; it feels more like a comfortable stay with the added perk of private bathrooms. The rooms were clean and efficient, providing a decent night's sleep which is crucial after long days of exploring. The breakfast buffet impressed me. While it includes the standard offerings, I appreciated having healthy choices available, a nice touch for those conscious of their diet. What truly sets Ronningen apart is its 24-hour reception service, ensuring peace of mind for late arrivals. The laundry facilities were an added bonus since hiking can lead to some rather muddied clothes. Plus, the hotel's location near the Oslo Science & Technology Museum, just a 20-minute walk away, makes it a great base for further explorations. I can confidently recommend Ronningen for those seeking a balance of enjoyment and financial wisdom in their travels.
