Excellent location, AMAZING breakfast. Loved the hotel. My only advice to travellers is if you are facing the main street the nightclub was quite loud and kept us up all night ( was a Friday ) . Booked a family superior room and was very small ( for those North Americans that are not used to European sized hotel rooms ). Wonderful hotel would stay again.

Fabulous ambience - tasteful design, pleasant helpful staff. Unfussy simple room, but quality, though bed mattress a little less firm than we like. Extremely clean and 'unmarked' hotel, no scuffed walls from guests cases, etc. Breakfast selection superb, though cooked food could have been kept a bit warmer. Perfect position in the city for all sights. Highly recommended hotel. Oslo isn't cheap - the prices might make you 'Scream'.
