Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Although the rooms were small, as you might expect for a city centre hotel in that price bracket, they were well kept and warm and the staff were lovely. There was under floor heating in the bathroom and the shower was the most powerful I've ever had.

Rooms were basic and clean. Breakfast buffet was amazing with many, many choices. The food was continually prepared fresh as items were enjoyed. The croissants were especially wonderful. Entire staff were helpful and friendly, especially Elisabeth and Tommie. I enjoyed conversations with staff, and felt welcome as a traveler on my own! Dianna Worth, visiting from America

We spent just one night in this hotel before we leave Oslo. It is very centrally located and you can walk in all main city attractions and the Oslo S station. The room is really small but for one or two days is ok. If you leave the window open you can hear the passing tram so if you are a light sleeper keep it in mind ( or ask for a room in a different section of the hotel) Reception and breakfast area good. There is an option for early check in at a charge of 150 Nok.
