Really nice hotel, lovey rooms with huge windows with great views (even if they are towards other buildings). Brilliant breakfast with a huge choice and nice restaurant. Only downside was how far it is to a bus stop and therefore central Oslo/anywhere to eat. Fine to walk to a bus/metro when it’s not raining but didn’t fancy it at night so got an Uber/Bolt (very easy). Staff all lovely and whole hotel well kept from what we saw.

Good room, good breakfast. It's far from town and not many restaurants around, you'll have to walk for a bit. But if you stay for a concert or so, I'm sure it's great.

The hotel was lovely, modern and the staff were great. Daily room service was available if you want it. And a good range of options for breakfast buffet. Main downside is the beds were really uncomfortable- we booked a queen bed and got two single beds pushed together.
