The hotel is decent overall. However, in our room there were deep scratches in the floor. Overall it wasn't as clean as I would have expected. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet offered a nice selection and there was plenty. If something ran out, they quickly replaced it. The location is good, making it easy to get to transportation. There are museums and shops close by too. If it were not for the overall cleanliness. This would hotel would definitely have gotten a much higher rating.

Outstanding hotel on the northwest side of Oslo. A 10-15-minute walk to the heart of the city. The hotel breakfast buffet was excellent, something to look forward to every morning. Rooms were large and clean. Everyone at the front desk was incredibly helpful and I highly recommend this hotel.
