An excellent place to stay in Oslo. Highly recommend! Great breakfast, excellent location, fabulous room. Only drawback, jackhammering in the morning (there’s construction nearby) and a nightclub. It wasn’t too loud and not that noticeable. Would 100% stay again.

Room is fine. Nothing special. There was a foul stench in the hallway for two days but reception did try to take care of it, it just lingered. The pillows are awful. The bed is fine. The bathroom is small but fine. The location is really central to most things and you can walk everywhere.

Excellent hotel

Loved everything about this place - nice location and rooms, excellent staff, great breakfast. Only issue was my junior suite was above a club that played music until 3am. Luckily it was more of a piano club so no drums, but still interrupted my sleep
