For my overnight connection in Oslo, I chose to use the only Marriott hotel in Norway, the Moxy Oslo X located… Far, far away from Oslo. A look back at this mediocre stay.

As a reminder, here is the itinerary followed:

Booking

I booked this property about 2 months before my stay, at the same time as I booked my flight. Given the price difference between the entry-level room and the suite, I booked the suite directly for around €120 a night.

Arrival

I completed the mobile check-in formalities about 2 days before my arrival at the hotel.

I arrived at the hotel by Uber from Oslo airport. The fare is about 55€ for a basic car.

I noted that the hotel is adjacent to a conference center, which explains its distance from the city and the airport.

I checked in with a receptionist who was inexperienced but friendly, and was soon on my way to my room.

Suite

My suite was located on the 6th and top floor of the property.

I immediately noticed something I hate: it was an “accessible” suite. I understand the hotel’s interest, but putting an valid guest in this kind of room is really not very pleasant.

The entrance leaded directly into the sleeping area, with its queen-size bed facing a TV, and on the left a large closet and cupboard.

Further to the left was the living-room area, with a leather sofa and TV, and a small shelf that was supposed to double as a desk.

On the left again, the bathroom, also obviously accessible, with shower, WC and washbasin. To top it all off, the shower curtain stuck to your skin.

Finally, a video tour:

Hotel facilities

The hotel has no special facilities, and no gym. For a hotel with 430 rooms, it’s not acceptable.

Catering

The only restaurant is the Moxy bar, which served snacks such as pizza, burgers and nachos. I opted for a pepperoni pizza, which was disappointing, and a gin and tonic. So much for gastronomy…

Departure

Departure formalities were straightforward, but once again I had to insist over chat to get the bill. Is it so complicated to send it at mobile check-out?

Bottom line

A mediocre stay, at best. I won’t be back.
