What a wonderful home base for several days in Oslo! We had just arrived in Norway and were so happy to be within walking or tram distance of so many attractions - on a leafy, peaceful street with cafes and just the right amount of bustle. We could get to the fjord, the museums, restaurants, and pretty much everywhere we needed to go within a 10 min walk. The breakfast was exceptional - delicious variety in a relaxing, sunny atmosphere and a great way to start busy days of sight-seeing. The concierge also provided several restaurant recommendations that we were very happy with. Would definitely recommend, especially for anyone visiting Norway for the first time.
