Very nice hotel, it’s in a great location. There is free late checkout on Sundays till 6pm which is amazing. Make sure to let staff know when checking in so they can apply it to your room card. Close to main train stations and other transport links. On the shopping street and easy to get to other attractions as well by walk. Breakfast buffet was very good, limited veg options but still very delicious. Hotel was great and staff were friendly.

Conveniently located, close to the cental station and easy walking distance to all Oslo city centre attractions. Excellent breakfast buffet. Rooms were clean and fine for what we needed. Downside of central location was noise and music from nearby bars until late at night on weekends, and because the rooms don't have air conditioning you'll need to have the windows open, meaning you can't shut out the noise

Unfortunately i felt that has at breakfast a lot industrialized products. No warm milk or close placd to do so. I'd read about the noise in the night because a club around the area, but I'd thought was on the weekends only. Disturbing to sleep until 100am. Bed on compact double room against the wall so inconvenient to rest. A kudos only to the front desk stuff, professional, friendly and always helpful. The room tv, one channel in english not pleasant yo watch. No netflix.

Stylish and welcoming reception/bar area, friendly staff and good general ambience, lots of nice design touches. The room was well-designed and the bed was comfortable, however we did find it too warm and there was a drain smell at times in the bathroom. Despite this, we had a lovely stay.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very Small cold room that was noisy all night. First it was a constant sound of running water, not sure if that was the a/c heating or just water pipes. Then the noise from the pub kicked in. What a night! Heating only allows you to add ‘3’ to what must be predetermined heat but it was cold….and usually I don’t feel the cold in hotels.. huge cracks in the ceiling which looked quite concerning I found the reception staff not very helpful and distracted when I was speaking to her. I think they are trying to be trendy and hip but have lost the essence of a good hotel. Why have a chair that is uncomfortable to sit in and bedside ‘cabinets’ which hold nothing. Breakfast was, however good apart from the shocking coffee

Liked: Staff & service
The room was too cold! But the staff was very helpful and nice. They even offer a “breakfast to go” if your flight leaves earlier and have no time to wait for the opening of the breakfast buffet. Downside: you have to go grab towels, toilet paper, soap, etc. by yourself in the front desk. There is no cleaning service everyday. In general, the location was perfect and the hotel staff was very helpful.

It was a birthday trip & on my birthday. The hotel left treats & a birthday note in our room, which was a nice touch. On our last night (thursday) a bar was playing drum & bass until 1am, the bass ran through the whole room, buzzing the walls. Like a too loud stereo in a car (obviously not the hotels fault) but glad we were not saying over a weekend, as I would assume it would mean... no sleep

Für den Aufenthalt in Oslo ist die Lage im Zentrum herausragend. Schloss, Oper, Hafen und öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sind auf kürzesten Wegen zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die zentrale Lage ist lediglich mit dem kleinen Nachteil verbunden, dass keine Parkmöglichkeiten direkt am Hotel verfügbar sind. Das ist beim Check-in/Check-out etwas anstrengend. Wir würden das Hotel wieder buchen.
