We were impressed with the location, it’s on the tramline and really convenient to get all over the city. The team went past the window and could be heard from the room but we really enjoyed the sound of it.

One night only
The room was very small. No cooling at all. The step from the bathroom was really high… dangerous!
Staff very good. Room clean. Needed to have the window open for some air

Easy to find and a great location. Only challenge for us are the trams, we live in the countryside at home, but we did get used to it.
Staff could not be better and the breakfasts as are good as you’d get anywhere at this price.
If we return to Oslo we’d definitely stay here again.

The property was near the theatre district, it was well presented and we were in a refurbished room. Staff were friendly and pleasant, but the breakfast staff were exceptional, can you pass on my thanks to these people.

Good location, clean and quiet.
My bar fridge in the room I booked did not work. When I asked reception to change the fridge they gave me a new room which was an upgrade to a suite. Am very grateful.

A really cool hotel. Absolutely loved our 2night stay. Very stylish and welcoming. Gave us a lovely relaxed feeling. Good location to walk to main shopping area & restaurants. We had a rental car but airport shuttle bus stops opposite front door. Staff were super nice especially Leo on front desk. Helpful local advice and on arrival told me where to park on street next to hotel which was free after Fri 4pm and Sat&Sun. Saved me about £70😉
We recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again if in Oslo 🇳🇴
Norway is simply stunning. Best touring holiday we’ve had after 35 years together!!
10/10 from both of us. 😎

Really great staff. Everyone went above and beyon
They originally gave me a street view room but I was worried it would be too noisy. Valentina said she’d get me a quieter room and she did. Blackout curtains and inside garden view on 5 th floor. It was very quiet and spacious. It was a bit cold at night in May so they brought in a space heater. The breakfast was great and had something for everyone We loved the assortment of breads, cereals, meats, salad's fish and cheese. You won’t go hungry

Very well decorated, cozy hotel with music background, calm atmosphere, hypo allergic carpets, I would recommend the hotel. I did not like the heating was not working even after turning it on so I asked for a electric heating which they gave right away but a bit small for the room I would fell cold there during the winter months.
