This hotel let us check in early, which was great! It's in a good location and was clean and up to date - only downfall was one elevator was down, so there was always a wait to get back to our room, though we used the stairs to leave!
Clean property, central location when you finally get your bearings. Just the right amount of calmness one needs on a short break. Breakfast was good, variety 😋. Staff very helpful and kind too.
We had a great stay at this hotel. The location is ideal, very close to the city centre and well connected by public transport to all the main attractions. The interior design is stylish, modern, and very clean.
A special thank you to the staff for being so helpful. Due to a severe flight delay, we didn’t check in until around 2 AM. I had been keeping them updated along the way, and the receptionist who greeted us at that late hour was wonderfully welcoming.
The room was a bit basic and small: while beautifully styled and clean, it lacked amenities, a fridge and extra shelf space in the bathroom; and the aircon system was a bit noisy.
However, for a short trip or a weekend away, I highly recommend staying here!
This hotel was in a great location close to bars/restaurants. The staff were friendly let us check in early (2hrs). The breakfast was wonderful. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
I had received an excellent service here. Room was quite right size plus I hav own terrace and it was too quiet. Their breakfast was equisite delicious and plentty choices. Closer to all places you wanted to go.
We stayed here on our return trip to Oslo having been on a cruise from Bergen to Tromso. Very easy to find from the Nationaltheatret station, great location for what we wanted to see/visit. Very quiet, fantastic large room with great shower and very comfortable bed. Fantastic breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful. Made use of the luggage storage room too.

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.
What a place to stay. Great staff from checkinh to breakfast to leaving. Everything went as it should. The breakfat included in room rate was a sight for sore eyes. Appealing plentiful and varity like ive never seen. If every back ill be staying here.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Pretty basic hotel
The location was close to few landmarks. However the hotel air conditioning was not working. It was advertised they have A/C but it was centralized therefore no control unit inside the room. No welcome amenities (bring your slippers!) in the bathroom—Very basic!
Great place as a homebase to explore downtown (sentrum) Oslo. Clean, tidy, modern. Staff are very friendly. Breakfast is a highlight you don't want to miss. Skip the eggs/sausages/bacon/potatoes that are clearly there merely to appease the adventure-adverse North American tourists, and do yourself a favour by going straight for the bread, pate, smoked salmon, local cheeses and jams and more.
Only odd thing was the king bed had two separate comforters, odd for a couple, but not a problem.
Parking downstairs is expensive (450k - 15%), but that's how Europe is, so if you can manage by transit, it's better (we were coming out of a camping road trip, had no choice). That's not a criticism of the hotel - that's normal here. Also the parking entrance is steep and extremely narrow, suited for small cars only. European cities were not built for cars to begin with.
