Very good

The hotel was fine . The rooms are basic but adequate for a stay in oslo . You won't spend much time in it anyway. The tram station is right outside for easy access to the center. Buying an oslo card is a must . Transport museums are then free .

Breakfast was amazing considering how many people are booked into the hotel. The food was kept hot and fresh the kitchen and restaurant staff look very busy. The room was very outdated bit boring. That was the desk. The bar area seems to be more modern and comfortable.
2 nights stay. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Room was adequate, warm, good shower, comfy bed, quite, overlooked park area.
20 minutes walk to city centre with good transport options running past the hotel.
Large and varied buffet breakfast was fantastic apart from the bacon which was over grilled scraps
The hotel is quite convenient to get to by tram from Oslo S. The bed was very comfortable. However there is no air conditioning; thankfully it cooled off at night. My only complaint is the breakfast staff are pretty rude and start to remove things the second clock says breakfast is over. I was made to feel I had to leave, so I took the rest of my breakfast to the room to finish. The Front Desk staff was fantastic.
Great access to public transit. Awesome breakfast buffet every morning. There isn't any central air though, so in the summer the windows need to be open all night and the bar noise carries on well into the wee hours of the morning.

Liked: Staff & service
The buffet breakfast offers a wide variety of choices, definitely way beyond usual. Staff are great. Housekeeping too, in spite of which I gave it 3 stars because management needs to roster in regular washing of carpets. Many stains.
Basic but comfortable hotel. Friendly staff. Can use kettle on reception to make hot drinks. Bar and restaurant. Superb buffet breakfast with a massive selection of hot and cold foods.
The walk from the city centre is a little dodgy as you pass a drug rehab centre with some less desirable people hanging around. Get the tram instead of walking.
Tip: use the lifts in the bar area as quicker.
On arrival first impression the hotel exterior is not bad, but when checking in had to wait almost one hour having been told the rooms were not ready being tired that was very annoying, generally speaking the staff were helpful throughout the stay. The reception area is very disappointing the carpets and furniture are all stained, old and unpleasant definitely need updating. The rooms although had great views bed was basic linen and bathrooms. The hot water kept going cold 5/10 breakfast was ok and enough of choice so that would deserve 6/10 internet needed rebooting a few times 5/10 transport access very good. Overall sum it all
The hotel has a fantastic location - we were able to walk just about anywhere in Oslo. Great restaurants, activities and shopping -- all easily accessible. The property is clean and well-staffed. As long as you're not looking for a fancy hotel, this one does the trick!
The summer was surprisingly hot over there, they don’t have AC and it can get boiling hot in the rooms. Some rooms have windows that open wildly and some just a little so in those ones it’s hard to get some air from outside at night when the air cool down. I would say if the weather is very very hot again make sure to ask for the room with wild windows or find another spot ( if the heat can disturb your sleep ) The beds were super comfy tho .
The location is great ! Super close to all the nice areas . Everything is walkable like the train station is 15mins walk from the hotel . Very easy.
The hotel is also situated is one of the coolest and nicest neighborhoods with lot of restaurants. L
The staff is accommodating and very lovely.
Overall it’s was nice to stay there for the location and it’s easy access.
Perfect location only steps from a transit stop to easily access anywhere in Oslo. The weather was very hot when we visited and unfortunately there is no air conditioning and they ran short of fans for rooms. It was still not too bad as it cooled down a bit at night. The breakfast was amazing. So many options for food and drinks. Our family all loved the breakfast. The staff was great, very helpful with recommendations for swimming and transportation.
Hotel was a last minute booking as our flight was cancelled, staff were very friendly and welcoming, room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was rather busy but good choice of food
