The Amerikalinjen hotel is one of a handful of Strawberry Hotels that can be booked with Choice Privileges points either directly through Choice’s website, or indirectly through Preferred Hotels & Resorts. This hotel costs only 20,000 points per night when booked directly through Choice Privileges vs. 45,000 points when booked through Prefered Hotels. So, of course, I booked through Choice. Another highly regarded hotel in Oslo, The Thief, is available to book either through Choice or through Preferred Hotels for the same 20,000 Choice points per night. We booked the Amerikalinjen because of its location right across the street from the central train station. We arrived in Oslo by train and departed by train two days later, so the Amerikalinjen was perfect.
Amerikalinjen Hotel Bottom Line Review
My stay at the Amerikalinjen Hotel was terrific. Even though I had booked with Choice points and don’t have elite status with Choice or with Strawberry hotels, we were proactively upgraded from a standard to a Superior room. While it wasn’t huge, it was beautifully appointed. Its tremendously high ceiling added to its glamour. The hotel’s location is perfect: It’s an easy walk from the hotel to many tourist sights, and it is very close to a metro stop for venturing farther. And for those arriving or departing by train (like we did), it’s directly across the street from the station. Breakfast is a highlight here. It is included for free with all bookings and we found the variety and quality to be excellent. Amazingly, you can optionally choose to have your free breakfast brought to you as room service. I would very happily stay here again.
