I liked everything in this hotel. Big rooms. Well located right in the city center , metro station 2 min walking from hotel. The breakfast was excellent, plenty of food to choose. Friendly staff.

There was a misunderstanding about the cleaning. You have to book when you want your room to be cleaned. We discussed this with the receptionist the first day but apparently it wasn't booked in the sistem or something happened but we solved this issue.

Great breakfast.

No parking lot for own car. You are on your own finding a spot in tricky Oslo centrum, the closes P-houses are pricy.

Great location but also quiet for sleeping, great access to transport! Breakfast and staff were amazing!

Requested a room clean although bedding was not changed - not a massive issue probably just a misunderstanding on our end

Decent breakfast. Good location.

No hot water in shower. Room was not made up for two guests although that was specified. Elevator broke. Ridiculously small room.

The breakfast buffet was good.

The room was rather small with no desk, though there is room to do some work in the lobby if necessary.

The breakfast was excellent: good variety of hot and cold food and the quality was top notch. The location was fantastic...in the centre of the city, but up a quiet street. Perfect for sight seeing, restaurants and public transport. Staff were friendly and helpful

The room was small with no seating or table to work at. Clothes hanging and drawers very limited. Not really good for a longer stay. The shower was blocked and overflowed, but I was offered an alternative room because of this.

Staff communicating only the relevant information is key, plus they were kind.

It was difficult to find the heater, and when I did, it was an other challenge to find the switch on the sideโ€ฆ. It is not something I did not like, it was my tiredness after a long travel, and I was exhausted and cold. It would have been just a nice addition from the staff to switch on the heater and then leave a message where to find the heater and how to switch it on.

Breakfast was great, wide and varied selection. The room was spacious enough for a single night.

The bacon was unfortunately dry, like beef jerky, rather than crispy. Had quite the queue for juice/milk/coffee. The bed felt a bit like it was slanting, and there was a massive difference in the pillows. Mine was thicker, but very lumpy. My partners pillow was thin and offered no support.

The location is great and the staff are friendly

The room is awful. There was pretty much nothing apart from a bed. No surface space, no desk and no kettle etc. THe lack of a desk and chair was the worst, especially since I was there for work.

I have to qualify this because I am an American. The rooms and restrooms are very small. I realize they are the norm in Norway though so I don't think my complaint regarding size carries much merit.

Room was clean and hotel is in perfect location.

Room did not have a/c, so it was quite hot and humid. Of course this was in middle of July and temperature outside was above 24 degrees.

The hotel's location is excellent. You can reach the port within a 10-minute walk, and some of the most beautiful attraction points are really close to the hotel. The breakfast was adequate. The room we stayed in was in the corner of the floor and was spacious enough. The personnel were very helpful and kind. All in all, it was an excellent stay.

During the nights, the room was very cold despite the radiator being on. Except for this part, we didn't have any other problems during our stay.
