We were impressed with the location, it’s on the tramline and really convenient to get all over the city. The team went past the window and could be heard from the room but we really enjoyed the sound of it.

Easy to find and a great location. Only challenge for us are the trams, we live in the countryside at home, but we did get used to it. Staff could not be better and the breakfasts as are good as you’d get anywhere at this price. If we return to Oslo we’d definitely stay here again.

Sophia

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

Very well decorated, cozy hotel with music background, calm atmosphere, hypo allergic carpets, I would recommend the hotel. I did not like the heating was not working even after turning it on so I asked for a electric heating which they gave right away but a bit small for the room I would fell cold there during the winter months.
