Hotel Amerikalinjen
Jernbanetorget 2, 0154 Oslo, Norway
This iconic hotel is located just across the Oslo Central Station and opposite of the famous Tiger sculpture in front of the station. This makes the hotel very centrally located for a lot of Oslo attractions such as only short walking distance to Oslo Opera House (8 minutes) and Karl Johans Gate (10 minutes). We stayed 2 nights here using a total of 40,000 Choice Privilege points.
Breakfast is complimentary at the hotel for all guests. However, to manage traffic we were given time slots to appear for breakfast and we still found it quite crowded. On the plus side, the menu choices was ridiculously good. They had so many unique menu options and on top of that, you were provided with a menu card to order off of for the eggs. One option was Eggs Benedict (my favorite kind of eggs) and obviously I had that for my entire stay every day.
Thumbs up:
- Location, Location, Location!! Across the Oslo Central Station and within short walking distance to a lot of tourist attractions including Oslo Opera house.
- Being across Oslo Central Station meant you can easily take the train to other cities as well as Oslo Airport from here, which we did. Arrived from Bergen on train and left by train to airport. Also many walking tours start at the front of the hotel which is very convenient.
- Complimentary breakfast had a vast selection of menu items and on top of that had a menu card for eggs made to prepare.
Thumbs down:
- Room felt a little cramped (compared to US standards) but still was good size for Europe. Being nitpicky here, otherwise it was fine.
