The hotel was a short five minute walk away from the train station, which made it really convenient to go to Oslo. The staff was extremely courteous and friendly. The breakfast offered a plethora of items for me. I will stay here again the next time I visit Norway.

Only one thing wrong with this place.despite the vast breakfast offerings the so called hot food is cold as soon as you get it to the table. Plates are cold, air conditioning too cold, It’s a complete nonsense. If you want hot breakfast go to the Scandic
