The breakfast buffet was really good with local products - Norwegian waffles with brown cheese, anyone?
The room was tiny as was the bathroom, but at least it was clean and served our purposes.
The hotel staff was kind to agree to extend our check out by an hour so that we would have enough time to pick up our rental car and come back.
We loved the location of this hotel. Most major attractions are walkable or are near with transit.

The staff were fantastic, the breakfast was great, the view was wonderful. I have no complaints about this place, I loved it. My room also seemed much larger than the standard hotel rooms in the area.

4 night break with friends. 10 minute walk to the centre id Oslo or 2 tram stops from directly outside the hotel. Loads of cafes, bars, restaurants and an excellent food court within 5 minutes. Hotel quiet so a good nights sleep.

It is a very impersonal stay; the employee at the reception did not say a word when we checked in. Check-out was done online. It feels “faceless.” The breakfast is boring, and there are far too many people in too little space.

We have stayed at this hotel preciously, easy for tram links.
Hotel staff so polite and made you feel welcome.
Breakfast excellent choices.
Room very clean, no water due to overnight maintenance, so we had to leave at 5 am unshowered.

Clean room and good access to everything. It is getting a bit worn in places but it’s perfect for a short stay.
