Everybody seemed busy with everything other than taking care of (high-paying!) hotel guests. Given an on-going pandemic that is a basic expectation. We arrived at breakfast, with dirty dishes floating around, coffee being served from a plastic barrel, fish left out in the heat, and there being 0 availability of hand sanitizer. We discovered the day after that our waiter had been put in charge of both the reception and waitering at the same time! The morning after everything was topped off. We then wanted to buy some chips in the lobby, but there was nobody in reception. Without anywhere else to go, we resorted to returning to the room. However we were swiftly asked to leave the garden as we were apparently not allowed to use it. After a lovely dinner in the restaurant, we wanted to go for a walk in the garden at the estate. Upstairs there was also literally a huge empty frame, and there were 0 facilities outside the room. The room itself clearly had a high budget on decor, but beds floating around in the hallway, door openers not working, lift SOS button dysfunctional and replaced by a walkie-talkie, cheap IKEA blankets on the floor & massively loud creaking from old doors really took away any surrounding charm. The blame from the Hotel’s side was put on there being on-going work on the signage. After having a (pleasant) coffee in the cafe for an hour, we spent about an hour on confusion around getting functional keys, caused by the staff not knowing how to work the key machine & two rooms having the SAME number. We were then told that our rooms weren’t ready yet (we arrived ½ hour after our check-in time). The main entrance was closed, and we had to use the side entrance. When arriving to the hotel, things started falling apart. Didn’t take long to find it, but still annoying. Once parked, there was no indication of where to go. The parking lot was a dusty country-side plot of land, where we had to remove a rope to gain access. It all started upon arriving by car to Ramme. Below are the highlights of this shockingly disappointing adventure. ![]() ![]() When you price a hotel at luxury prices, then you need to deliver more than an AirBnB would. Never have I encountered a more poorly organised hotel. We ended up really wanting to get away from Ramme gård. ![]() Visited Ramme gård for a culturally enriching countryside getaway with my wife. The hotel is located at the exclusive cultural destination Ramme The hotel is located in Hvitsten, only a half hour drive from Oslo city center. Our greatest artist also lived at Ramme for several years. Petter Olsen also has the largest collection of privately owned Edvard Munch paintings and a separate Munch museum will open here in 2021. His fingerprints are inextricably linked to Ramme, which is repeated in everything from the eco-philosophy around which the area is built, to art experiences, private antiques, design, and architecture. Ramme has been developed and owned by investor and art lover Petter Olsen. Here, our guests live in their own small ecosystem, and with great art and cultural experiences literally right outside the door. All the small details of the hotel are handpicked, and guests will be able to see that there is a conscious thought behind every choice. Ramme Fjordhotell opened its doors for the first time on 1 December 2020, and is undoubtedly one of the country's most exclusive.
