Fabulous location, right in the middle of everything you want to see and do in Oslo. Comfortable beds with AC that worked great. Friendly staff, outstanding breakfast.

Robert · US · 2026-07-25

Very comfortable and extremely accessible to Oslo's main highlights. Very nice stay.

8.0

The room was comfortable & great size. Being up in the eaves area of the hotel though, meant the windows were either at ground level or attic so we couldn't see out. The room was also right over the bars in the street, so there was a fair bit of noise. To be fair, it was the night of the Norwegian football teams first game so understandable.

It was very nice & as we had to leave very early, the hotel made up a breakfast box to go. It was a bit light on tbh, but nice thought.
