Very late check-in. We were given a room on the second floor. Avoid rooms on this floor close to the neighbouring club, as we could have joined in with the singing- very late closing. Front desk staff, that late night was very helpful when I asked for a different room. All this done after 1am arrival. Breakfast buffet is excellent. Good location- short walk to palace, inter island ferry terminal, the National Museum, Akershus Fortress, Aker Brugge.
