The location is perfect, just a few minutes walk from Oslo central station. However, the only semi-double bed provided is too small for two guests, especially if you are not small. When we arrived, there was only one set of pillow, blanket and towel in the room, but the staff gave us an extra set right away upon request. We... more

We stayed in a small double room with shared bathroom facilities. We wanted a budget accommodation near the train station and in that aspect the location was far better than what we expected. We had a late evening flight and checked in very late at night. The Hotel is just a short walk from the Karl Johann. I didn't count... more

Woke up in the middle of the night surrounded by bed bugs. The gentleman working the counter at night was helpful and switched us to a better room. We wanted to leave but where would we go at 0300?? The new room was ok, but not clean. There were a pair of dirty socks near the door. Under the bottom... more

We are fortunate!!! that we visited this hotel for only one night but were lucky enough to be there for the bedbugs convention night. The room itself was very basic although we were lucky enough to have an ensuite bathroom ,which was very small but damp with old fittings. The single beds were vey narrow and were end on end... more

I have stayed at City Hotel twice and found it to be very good value, especially as it is in Oslo, one of the most expensive capitals in the world! The first time (in 2002) we stayed for a week in a very large ensuite double room. The breakfast was very good. We were a little confused by the lift... more

I was a bit disappointed with the City Hotel. When I read the reviews, I was very encouraged - I was only staying one night, and I typically try to book an inexpensive hotel (* or **) near the central train station. These neighborhoods are often not the best, but that does not bother me. From a location perspective, the... more

I stayed at this hotel off-season, so that might be why there were not any problems with noise. The rooms are undeniably a bit shabby, but there are not too many other central hotels in Oslo for this price. I found the staff unfailingly helpful, the security good, and the breakfast nice enough. Unfortunately this hotel is in a red-light... more

We were staying in Oslo for one night only, catching an early train. The hotel was reasonable enough for our requirements - it was very close to the train station, and also to the main city centre. It was also cheap - about £80 for an en suite room. Bad points were: - twin rooms only, no doubles - room... more

This was very close to the worst hotel my wife and I have ever stayed at. There were prostitutes on the corner outside the hotel all night, lots of bikers in bars and lots of very loud and very drunk people all night. The desk clerk told us not to go right when we left their camera and security system... more
