The staff were quite nice. It was pretty hot for our two day stay so we were happy for the fan they provided. We appreciated that the room was spacious unlike the hotel rooms we stated at in other Nordic/Scandinavian countries. The Breakfast buffet was really good; excellent variety, healthy, and delicious. It was walking distance to shops, key attractions, and public transit. It was convenient that a train stops right outside the hotel, however on my last night it was too noisy for me and prevented me from getting a proper nights sleep. If I’m ever in Oslo again, I would definitely stay here!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We booked an economy double but our room was quite large with a balcony. The bathroom was too small. Bathroom door would need to be left open when sitting on the toilet. Our room was on the street so was very noisy with the trams running until about 1am and starting again at 5am. We got very little sleep. I asked at reception if it was possible for me to change rooms as I hadn't slept. It was then she told me that we had been upgraded on check in. The very nice receptionist gave me a room to look at on the 5th floor at the back of the hotel. It was a smaller room but nice size bathroom and very quiet. I was happy. We slept well the 2nd night. Breakfast in this hotel was lovely. Very nice staff topping up coffee. Would stay again as long as it was a room to the back of the hotel.
