Imagine that you blog about showers all over the world and that you have intentionally not had a shower for 3 days during which intense hiking has occurred. You know, like camping, but slightly more civilized since a well-supplied cabin is involved. But definitely “ripe.”

The hiking happened here

Then imagine you decide to stay up way late to catch the 2:23am train to Oslo which gets you to the airport in plenty of time to take a shower. I mean even if the train is delayed by 45 minutes (it was), there will still be time for a long hot shower.

When the 2:23 is running late in Geilo. Yawn. pic.twitter.com/1eZcaS6tYx

Now imagine that there is no hot water at the Radisson Blu. None. And management’s “solutions” are ridiculous. And there you have it!

After 3 days hiking w/o running water, i expect a room with a hot shower. WTF Oslo @RadissonBlu??! This sucks pic.twitter.com/79JkrzAH04

Showering was like boy scout camp. Cold and awful.

Just like boy scout camp. Cold showers.

And then when you are crossing the Atlantic after a stop off in Germany the Radisson Blu twitter bot awakens. Good for a LOL.

Sorry to hear this! Please DM the hotel name & dates stayed, reservation name & contact details so I may assist you. ~Ryan

Fortunately, when offered a 50% discount, NPS requested a 100% discount which was granted. Its as if we never set foot on the property—our precise future intentions.

Do not stay at the Oslo Airport Radisson Blu for any reason. Zero cold shower heads.
