Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 2 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Sommerro is for travellers who want a hotel that is an experience in itself. The art deco building in Frogner has a stylish, high-end interior and holds seven restaurants, a rooftop bar, a pool on the roof and a spa with a public bath and sauna. The Royal Palace and the city centre are within walking distance. Guests are most enthusiastic about the breakfast, which many describe as the best they have had in a hotel, along with the spacious rooms and the friendly staff. The flip side is that so much is going on. The pool and sauna must be booked, which some guests found fiddly, and service can be uneven across the many outlets. Value for money draws the most criticism, especially in smaller rooms. Couples and food lovers who want design and wellness under one roof will be well served; budget-minded travellers may find better value elsewhere.
Guests score it 9.0 out of 10 — the average across the 6 hotels we list in Oslo is 8.9.
What Guests Loved
- Guests describe the building and the interior concept as stunning, stylish and unique, with a chic art deco look that feels high-end without being stiff.
- Breakfast is the single most praised part of a stay. Guests talk about a remarkably wide, fresh spread with many healthy choices, and several call it the best hotel breakfast they have had.
Things to Consider
- Some guests found it confusing that the rooftop pool and sauna have to be booked in advance, and felt that use of the wellness facilities was more controlled than they expected.
- Most guests praise the staff, but a few met a disorganised front desk, slow service in the Thai restaurant or a curt manner at the rooftop bar, and the room phone lines were not always easy to get through to.
Should you book it?
Sommerro is worth booking for couples who want design, a rooftop pool and good restaurants in one place — but pick somewhere else if you want spontaneous, unbooked access to the pool and sauna.
