"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel and would gladly return again on our next trip to Oslo.
The location is truly excellent — within walking distance of major tourist attractions, as well as countless restaurants, cafés, pubs, bars, and shops. Public transportation access was also incredibly convenient, with easy connections to train stations and the airport, which made traveling around the city stress-free.
Our room was spacious, quiet, very clean, and located on the first floor, which we appreciated after a long international trip. The room included all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.
One of the highlights of this hotel was the breakfast buffet. It was honestly one of the best hotel breakfasts we have experienced, with a wonderful variety and excellent quality selections.
Another thoughtful touch was the sitting area next to the lobby where guests could freely access still water, sparkling water, tea, and coffee throughout the day. This was such a great convenience — no need to deal with boiling water in the room or being limited to instant coffee.
Every member of the staff was friendly, respectful, professional, and genuinely eager to help. The level of service and hospitality we experienced here was honestly better than some 5-star hotels we have stayed at in the past.
We especially want to thank the gentleman at the reception, KjenarAhmad. After a very long and exhausting journey, he graciously allowed us to check into our room s"
"The hotel is centrally located and near the train station. The day front desk staff was very attentive. The room was clean. I would consider returning to this hotel."
"This hotel is in an excellent location- I walked everywhere from here. There was a strike so no housekeeping unless you asked for it. The front desk staff were so nice but could have been better informed as concierges. The breakfast is a huge and wonderful buffet and certainly a good reason to stay here. I’d stay at this hotel again."
"Cheap and not particularly cheerful.
The staff were not overly helpful and treated your presence as more of an inconvenience rather than something they were paid to do.
The room was a decent size for two people. The bed is comfortable but you only get 1 pillow. When we asked for another there was only 1 left so we used one of the single duvets as a pillow instead.
The rooftop is nice and in the summer will be a lovely spot to enjoy the city views.
The location is excellent, right in the centre and walking distance to everything you may need.
The WiFi is very good and can stream on multiple devices without issue.
Check out is at 12:00, however they are changing this to 11:00 at the end of June, presumably to make money. They also only do cleaning every 4th day, again, presumably to save money.
It looks cheap, it feels cheap, and the staff are average. Good news is, it is cheap relative to Oslo.
Bad news is thats not enough of a reason to make me return next time I’m in the city."
"This was one of the most adorable hotels I’ve ever stayed at! The decor was funky and unusual but in a great way! Everything was super clean. Rooms were comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Was a delightful stay."
