    The rooms are stuffy because Oslo was in yet another heat wave. But it is possible to open the windows all the way to cool off at night. The front desk had a fan available when I checked in (but they are limited, so it's worth asking early)

    Excellent breakfast and dinners are included in the price. The location is perfect for exploring Oslo, and it's also quiet. The rooms are stuffy, of course, but it is possible to open the windows all the way to cool off at night. The front desk had a fan available.

    only bads are not comfortable.

    they serve breakfast and dinner everyday, they are quite enough. Every evening there are different fix menu on dinner. We had taco night and chicken night. both was amazing. the tea and coffee service all day on lobby. also there are fika time between 15:00 - 17:00 you can taste their bakery with coffee/tea. Also location is good. just 10 minutes to train station by walk. you can go everywhere in the city by walk. I definitely recommend this hotel in Oslo.

    The hotel is very crowded. The building is early 70ties, so old. I had a room for a single person, which is 1.34x 4,5m…..

    Location is top, near the new opera building The breakfast is very good

    Close to the Opera, a two-building hotel, situated 8 minutes from train station

    One elevator in the new building makes the waiting time too long. The hotel could not provide an umbrella during heavy rain. There is a significant walking gap between the old and new buildings without special warning signs, making the risk of falling highly probable, especially in older adults.

    There were big windows and comfortable beds, but the room was in the older part of the hotel. It was a fully equipped room with a large bathroom and the hotel lobby offered free coffee at any time. The breakfast was good, and the dinner was OK, too. The hotel is situated about a 10-minute walk from the city center.

    Shower bed was not rimmed and the water from the shower flooded the bathroom every time we used it if we weren’t careful. Sauna and bathroom with shower on the same floor but the sauna was closed and not working during our stay. This was very annoying because we had chosen the hotel just for the sauna and they would not give us a partial refund when requested through booking.com

    We had a pleasant stay. Super central hotel, only a 5 min walk from Oslo central station. The room was small but cosy, we liked the Rituals products provided.Afternoon snack, breakfast and dinner buffet are included in the price. There are free tea and coffee available in the lobby all day long. Breakfast buffet was amazing, a variety of savory and sweet items with plenty of healthy choices including eggs, sausages, vegetables, porridge, peanut butter, granola, different types of bread/crisp bread, mini croissants, non dairy and gluten free options, nuts, peanut butter, chocolate spread, jams, juices, non dairy and dairy milk, pancakes etc. the afternoon snack or fika was served between 15 and 17 and I was only one lemon cake (delicious though). The dinner buffet changed menu every night and it was good (one soup, one main with veg/potato, a salad and pasta bar, bread etc) although very few protein options. The gym was ok, it had a squat rack with an Olympic barbell, a bike, treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, cable machine for back training , two leg curls (one sitting and one prone), but no leg extension (?!), a delt machine, two benches and free weights up to 25kg. Towels provided. Reception staff and waiting stuff was very nice and helpful otherwise.

    For my taste the design of the room is little bit to old and the sun light in the room was to less and to overcome this issue they didn't have enough light in the room.

    The location is really good and breakfast has everything you need, Also coffee and Tea are all the time available and during your stay you can enjoy the nice "Fika" moment in the hotel.

    Not a big issue, but the rooms & halls could use a coat of paint.

    The beds & bedding were very comfortable! The breakfast is extraordinary: Eggs, bacon, beans, salad. cheese, cold cuts, granola, cereals, seeds & nuts, fresh croissants & bread & buns, yogurt, fruit, even smoothies…too much to name. The reception staff were very helpful with tourist info and the staff in the dining room were great - ensuring our food allergies were not an issue. The location is perfect - close to the train station, the waterfront and the Akershus. We walked everywhere, and took the #30 bus to the Bigdoy museums (fantastic!) Take the 1.5 hr harbour cruise - definitely worth it!

    Although plenty of salads and soup available a hot vegetarian option would be nice.

    The breakfast was varied and good, afternoon Fika a bonus and dinner consisted of a soup, main and a variety of salads. Breakfast and dinner were buffet with plenty for everyone. The room was compact but had everything we needed for a couple of nights stay. Location was excellent. Free hot drinks in reception was also appreciated.

    Most things worked very well, but the room size was perhaps slightly small for a double.

    Check in and general assistance from the front desk was excellent. Should mention Kat by name for her efforts to assist with transport and directions as well as 'in house' arrangements. Evening buffet was a good bonus. Breakfast was also good, as was the general standard of decor and maintenance. Location was a major selling point in our booking.
