Frommer's Highly Recommended

This hotel has a tough act to follow now that it's joined that small, select group, Clarion Collection, which operates the superior Hotel Bastion. First, try for the Bastion; if no rooms are available there, the Savoy is a viable alternative, though it draws mixed reviews. One former guest found his room "the smallest I have ever stayed in." Another couple loved their room, finding the Savoy "great value, great location," the latter a reference to it standing opposite the National Gallery. Our conclusion is that you'll like the Savoy -- or not -- depending on your room assignment, so be specific when booking. Some of the bedrooms are spacious and handsomely, even stylishly furnished. The building itself is classic, a traditional-looking structure that was built in the early 20th century, but has been frequently renovated since then. On-site is restauranteik, serving well-prepared Norwegian and international dishes in a smoke-free atmosphere. The soft upholstered chairs of the hotel's Savoy Bar also attract many nonguests for evening cocktails.
