Very high-end, brand new hostel. I can tell a lot of thought went into every aspect of the building. From the plugs in each bunk to the automatic doors to the smart lighting, everything is trendy and cutting edge.

As others have mentioned, I’d expect more out of the kitchen area. They should absolutely have more utensils and at least add a kettle and mugs so you can can make your own hot drinks etc. hopefully they add these in the future. No fridge access if you stay in the bunks (but not sure if the private rooms do) so keep that in mind!

Clean, colors, the lockers and their location, pillows and blankets were fluffy, the facg that there was a gender neutral bathroom in addition to the female and male ones, the view from the top terrace, the lighting in the dorm

The bar wasn’t open yet:-(

Saubere, einfache Zimmer. Ruhiges Ambiente. Sehr freundlicher Empfang. Tolle Lage in Oslo!

Es gab eine Küchenzeile, allerdings weder Kochtöpfe, noch Besteck oder Geschirr. Deshalb konnte ich die Küche nicht nutzen.

Having stayed in hundreds of hostel for nearly 30 years I was in general very impressed. It's a brand new hostel that's only been open a few days, has a modern feel, and the rooms have everything you would expect from a hostel for the modern backpacker such as privacy curtain, bed sockets, hooks by the bed, full size luggage lockers, decent bedding and mattresses, key card entry, with the added bonus they provide towels free of charge. The dorm rooms although they have a lot of beds are spacious and not cramped like many other hostels I've often stayed in, they also have nice additional seating, relaxation areas in the dorm rooms. Bathrooms clean and plentiful with spacious shower rooms and shower gels provided. Location is pretty good too and only 5 minutes from Oslo main train station on the tram to the hostels nearest stop, then it's just a couple minutes walk. If you want a decent, clean modern hostel with excellent facilities, but not fussed about cooking / catering facilities you'd be hard pressed to find a better hostel in the city.

The communal area, it's nice and big with plenty of seating, but there are just no kitchen facilities, there are two microwaves, a handful of plates, very small glasses and few items of cutlery (knives, forks, spoons only), that's it, which won't be enough to go round when the place gets busy peak season, so the only thing you can do is heat something like a microwave meal up at best, there's not even a kettle or mugs to make tea or coffee. Budget conscious travellers will want to self cater and there are just no real facilities to do that, I don't know if it's just being the first few days there will be more kitchen items arriving in the coming days. I know a lot of hostels nowadays are moving away from big shared fridges and food storage cupboards as items that guests leave behind just end up cluttering them up and make kitchens look untidy and dirty, but they at least need to get a kettle / water urn, a hob, and decent utensils to cook with as not having these will put many people off staying knowing they can't properly cook, (there was one guest I met who was frustrated as she couldnt even cook pasta as no hobs or even a dish she could heat a bowl of pasta in the microwave). There is also a lack of atmosphere in the communal area, where there was a little music, but this didn't come on until mid morning and was turned off by 9pm, all you need is to maybe put on a local radio station and have it in from say 8 when people are generally there having breakfast, and have it on until 10 or 11pm as this is when most people are using the area, nothing too loud, just, something. A few screens playing music videos / music channel and also displaying hostel info would just bring a little atmosphere as the place was dead quiet and just not that inviting to want to stay long periods of time in, so literally just ate and left.
