Very centrally located - 15 min. walk to City Hall harbor docks.
Quiet area. Great breakfast and allows pre/post stay luggage storage.
Self check-in very easy and room was ready earlier than expected.
Friendly staff.
Friendly and helpful staff, clean and tidy. They could have had more plant based alternatives at breakfast, like some sort of yoghurt and spreads/toppings, but they had allergy information which made it easy to see what we could eat.
Great stay, altho the rooms are very small so you have to be carefull when yoú book, and the sink was too small for my hands, but the employees were very nice and friendly :) they showed me where i can go etc. the hotel is close to many restaurants, bars and attractions.
We chose a mini double, which was a good price, if a little cramped! Fine for a night. Hotel location is great. Would suggest, if you’re a couple, to pay the extra for a normal double room.
Great location a 15 minute walk to major sites. Excellent breakfast, included if room booked through hotel and worth the additional fee if booked through consolidators. All electric outlets are European and need adapters for NA two pronged plugs.
Rooms are smaller than they appear. Room service (cleaning/towels) once in every 4 days. Amenities are sparse. Staff is excellent, friendly and accommodating where they can.
Great cosy room with all you need as a single person…given your not a fat American cause then you will not survive the room;)

Locationwise, it was good, ten minutes from Oslo central area and everything seemed close. Breakfast was as advertised in the hotel website, particularly the parties. Everything is smart operated as advertised as well. However, I found the double room doesn't fit the description. It was really small that my husband and I could barely move around in the small box given to us. I did feel that we have been scammed into paying for a single room for a double room price. The room should have been booked with a disclaimer on how small it is so people, if they still go for it, would know what to expect.
