Great location, perfect for a short stay in the lovely city of Oslo. Staff were helpful but we did have to ask twice to have our soap dispensers filled up. Seems standard practice now that rooms aren’t cleaned for 3-4 days

Great location, terrible room design. There was no place for luggage as the (already small) room had uncomfortable “decorations” that made it impossible to settle in comfortably

The room was too cold! But the staff was very helpful and nice. They even offer a “breakfast to go” if your flight leaves earlier and have no time to wait for the opening of the breakfast buffet. Downside: you have to go grab towels, toilet paper, soap, etc. by yourself in the front desk. There is no cleaning service everyday. In general, the location was perfect and the hotel staff was very helpful.

Overall good value for money

The room was very small indeed, for a short stay and traveling with rucksacks only you could manage. The breakfast was quite impressive, I would enjoy having more pastries though , especially some local ones, there were only small croissants which were very tasty but as I said I would be happy with some Norwegian pastries. The coffee was absolutely horrible, there’s no proper coffee machine at breakfast only their own batch brew coffee which is bad. Other than that the breakfast was really good, plenty of choice with fresh vegetables and fruits. It’s also nice there’s a possibility of having hot tea as there’s a facility for that by the reception. The location of the hotel is perfect and our room was quiet- I asked for a quiet room when booking.

The hotel was central and convenient but it lacked the comfort giving priority to eco friendliness over guests’ needs. Very cold and indifferent. Somewhere to sleep. Breakfast was good everything else average.
