Overnight stay

It is conveniently located to train station and city centre hotel. You don’t see staff as both check-in and check-out are electronic. Rooms are of reasonable size for Oslo, but TV, fridge, kettle and micowave are for all guests of this large hotel. It is not clear whether provided coated paper plates are microwave safe. There are wooden spoons available. It feels like students accommodation, but it is ok for 1 night stay.

This is definitely a no-frills place to sleep. Rooms are tiny and spartan and offer no amenities (not even a water glass for the bathroom). If all you need is a place to crash while in transit through the city, then this would be a good option. Personally, not a fan.

Its a low cost small hotel room in the center of the city, a couple blocks from the train station and was very convenient to the event I attended. There was really nothing special and there were problems with self-check in not taking the number I had for the reservation. This was very difficult and another person was having the same problem. Clean and safe and convenient, modern design style, shows some wear, and rooms were basic but private. Street noise kept me awake all night long.

I stayed here once before in Bldg A and had a great experience. This time I was in Bldg C and it was rough. No AC, with windows that barely opened to something like an alleyway, so zero airflow. I actually sat with my room door open for awhile to let the airconditioning from the hallway waft in. The flooring in the room was rubbery like a gym floor. I had one question about luggage check for the staff and they seemed annoyed to be bothered.
