A Good central hotel
The staff were very friendly and accomodated an early check in, which was really appreciated, the room was spacious and clean (room 618)& the hotel offered a wonderful breakfast. Quite centrally located only 2 or 3 stops from central station & the tram stops right outside so easy to around however street view rooms do experience street noise but nothing which had any signifant effect on my stay.

Sem ar condicionado.
O quarto não possui ar condicionado conforme anunciado, o que fez a estadia não ser tão agradável no verão, período que me hospedei com eles. Café da manhã ótima, muitas opções e boa localização.

Lots of outside noise.
No complaints about t h e hotel, but work overnight on the road/tram tracks meant our sleep was very limited.

Sehr zentrale Lage, die perfekt ist um alles Sehenswerte in Oslo zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Gute Auswahl beim Frühstücksbuffet.
Das Zimmer war zur Nebenstraße raus, aber man konnte den anliegenden Pub/Bar noch deutlich hören und somit nur mit geschlossenem Fenster schlafen.
Insgesamt würde ich 4/5 Sternen vergeben.

Fint valg af hotel til forlænget weekend
Fin placering - venligt personale -fin morgenmad. Små værelser men ok. På hjemmesiden oplyses, at hotellet udlåner cykler gratis - dette er ikke tilfældet.

Besonders gut hat mir das Frühstück und die Lage gefallen. Es ist sauber und das Personal sehr freundlich. Im Flur könnte allerdings der Teppich ausgetauscht werden. Das Zimmer war klein und gemütlich. Alles war sauber.

Disappointing experience
The hotel was disappointing. We have stayed at other Scandic properties and this was not the same. The carpet in the hallways and room was very dirty. The doors to the hotel room were hard to open. No floor towel in the bathroom made it slippery. Breakfast was ok but the room was overflowing. I would not stay here again and don't think it should be 4 stars.

Var der en hel uge men vi fik kun gjort rent to gange . men de tømte skraldespanden hver dag. Og de rede heller ikke vores seng. Og værelset kunne godt trænge til at få nyt gulvtæppe det var virkelig ulækkert
