I've stayed several times recently. The rooms are generally small, and its all a bit 1970s. But the atmosphere in the hotel is very nice, the staff are really pleasant, and it all feels good. And you start the day in a good mood because this hotel has the best breakfast I have encountered outside the most expensive places: its... More

Small room. From the window I saw right into a rooftop and tall buildings on two sides, and a wall with hotel windows on the third side. I missed a thin curtain which allowed daylight in but no insight from other rooms (there was just a very thick green curtain, so you had to choose between daylight or no insight).... More

Hotel is located in the heart of Oslo - only a few meters from the main street. They have very good breakfast and service is good. However, the rooms are old and outdated. I had a single room which was really tiny. The heating unit in the backyard was just outside the room and was annoying.

Stayed here for three nights when working. Quick check in. Small room with a comfortable bed. No noise from the street, but close to city center. A very good breakfast. Very good value for money. Could stay here again.

.. I liked it. I was a bit skeptical when i booket this hotel, as i had never seen or heard about this hotel, even though i've lived in Oslo. Pleasant and quick check in. As mentioned, the room was small compared to other hotels I've stayed at in Oslo. However, it did not matter, size does not count, haha.... More

Also later when we came back with our granddaughter in a pram we were well taken care of (exept very complicated to bring in the pram, had to carry it up 1 meter). Room very clean an bathroom ok, but with a normal size double bed the... More

Its a cheaper version, with small rooms. Not luxurious. But it does the trick! And it is as central as you can get it. The staff is friendly and helpful, the hotel is clean and up to date in standard. The lounge area is big, with lots of room to sit. And best of all - in the afternoon and... More

This hotel has a great location in relation to sights, food, transport, cinema and more, in a traffic free street. The rooms may seem small (I've only used single rooms), but they are certainly adequate and cheaper than competitors. In my opinion they are cosy due to nice furnishings and I always feel comfortable in this hotel. Great bed and... More

I stayed one night at this hotel on a business trip. No rooms available at my favorite hotels in Oslo, so chose this due to location. Centrally placed in the city centre and low price makes this hotel a good choice. The reason for rating it average: extremely small room, slow wifi, few TV-channels and poor TV-quality, limited menu/mini bar.... More

Based on previous reviews I recommended this hotel to my Company as the place to stay as opposed to the previous hotel. I was pleasantly surprised. The location is fantastic and we could walk to many of our meetings and another office was just a very short journey away on public transport. After a friendly welcome the room was clean... More
