Good central location, close to Central Station, although on first appearances not in the best of areas. However, any shortcomings in this area are more than made up for by the friendly staff, excellent service and added extras such as free panackes, hot drinks, fruit and the tasty/varied evening buffet - which in a country as expensive as Norway was...

My husband and I stayed here on our first trip to Norway. We had completely underestimated how costly the meals would be around Oslo. Luckily the hotel offers a complementary large breakfast, a waffle hour in the afternoon, and a light supper of soup and salad. We did not have to pay for any extra meals- all were included in...

Great location for a city break as it was within walking distance of almost all the "must see" sites.The staff are really helpful and friendly--particularly the reception staff. As Oslo is a very expensive city the option of having the evening buffet included is well worthwhile. In addition the pancakes in late afternoon and the availabilty of free coffee/ tea... More

This hotel is really special. First of all it is perfectly situated: it takes about 10 minutes to the central station, to Karl Johan gate, and to the opera, which makes it an ideal starting point to explore the city without any additional time or costs. Then, you get a genuine warm welcome as well as fresh fruit, hot tea... More

This nice hotels with a fairly good location is a good choice in Oslo. Close to Karl Johan (parade street) and Central Station - within 3-5 min. walk. Be aware that Skippergaten is safe but have unwanted activity from the worlds oldest profession in the evenings. Hotel lobby area, service level, evening buffet and breakfast is very good!

Dear guest from Hampshire, Thank you so much for your nice review! I understand you have tried one of our smaller rooms. Facing the back and very quiet, not to much space as we have prioritized the good quality bed. A warm welcome back Best regards Hilde Hammervold Managing Director More

Been there one night traveling for business. Friendly welcome and helpful staff. The room was small and had an unusual shape so it seemed even smaller than its actual size. All interiors have a somewhat old feeling and should be refreshed; my bathroom had a distinct 70s style and sported a curious power outlet on the ceiling; also, bedside tables... More
