Conveniently located hotel with great breakfast
2 nights stay. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Room was adequate, warm, good shower, comfy bed, quite, overlooked park area.
20 minutes walk to city centre with good transport options running past the hotel.
Large and varied buffet breakfast was fantastic apart from the bacon which was over grilled scraps

Value for money
Breakfast was amazing considering how many people are booked into the hotel. The food was kept hot and fresh the kitchen and restaurant staff look very busy. The room was very outdated bit boring. That was the desk. The bar area seems to be more modern and comfortable.

The hotel was fine . The rooms are basic but adequate for a stay in oslo . You won't spend much time in it anyway. The tram station is right outside for easy access to the center. Buying an oslo card is a must . Transport museums are then free .

Hotel Review
On arrival first impression the hotel exterior is not bad, but when checking in had to wait almost one hour having been told the rooms were not ready being tired that was very annoying, generally speaking the staff were helpful throughout the stay. The reception area is very disappointing the carpets and furniture are all stained, old and unpleasant definitely need updating. The rooms although had great views bed was basic linen and bathrooms. The hot water kept going cold 5/10 breakfast was ok and enough of choice so that would deserve 6/10 internet needed rebooting a few times 5/10 transport access very good. Overall sum it all

Good location, staff in the breakfast cleaning service are exceptional but the front desk.two employees are not exerting effort to help considering we requested for an electric fan for two days since it is very warm. But they never helped worst when we checked out. We saw that two electric fans were given to the rooms right next to us. When we do not have even a single one. Uncomfortable stays

Midt i smørøyet
Genial beliggenhet, med Grünerløkka og Akerselva i umiddelbar nærhet, samtidig som det er 10 min til fots til sentrum:)
Elsket å bo i 9 etg med utsikt over hele byen, magisk på kvelden.
