Overnight stay in new concept hotel

Pros: Location was good.and rates reasonable
Location: Lots to do in OSLO but our overnight stay did not allow us time to explore sufficiently
This hotel had recently been refurbished into a new concept hotel. Minimalist furnishing, no phone, all info data on TV screen (no hotel folder or literature), no suitcase/baggage stand, a tricky "new concept" shower taps system, and restricted staff contact. In all not very suitable to us as older travellers.

Nice Hotel in downtown Oslo

Pros: Good breakfast, free lockers to store luggage after checkout if your flight is in the afternoon. Central location. The staff were helpful
Cons: Rooms are a little small but not much they can do about that.
Location: Central Oslo. Visited the Viking, Kon Tiki, Fram, and Cultural museums and Vigeland park. Most had adequate English plaques.
Check in was by computer with good assistance by one staff member. It worked fine. Being in downtown Oslo enabled us to not need a car. We just used the Oslo Pass (which is very reasonable for old people like me) to visit the attractions and get around the city by train, bus and ferry. The train station is in easy walking distance.
