Just ok. A bit reduced breakfast with no herring or salmon but generally a good breakfast.

It isn't a bad hotel and I will probably come back. But when the price is at the same level as Grand Hotel I do expect more.
Overall experience are good.
However, there were cracked tiles in the bathroom that has been there for a while (miss-colour), unfinished repairs in the ceiling, and looks fixurs on the bed. Observe that there is no fitness center at the hotel.

The breakfast is quite good and included in the rate. The hotel location is fantastic, right in the centre of Oslo. However the room is really really small and the look and feel is that of an old cheap place

Location is superb! Bed was super comfortable; breakfast buffet was amazing! Our room was larger than we expected and with a lot of lightning and mirrors.
4.0
This hotel has very friendly and helpful staff. The location is superb and the coffee in the lounge was appreciated. Breakfast was pleasant.
I understand this isn’t a five star hotel and we didn’t need luxury as we were basically there to sleep and shower, however, the room was a little tired. There was a huge stain on the carpet by the bed and the toilet seat was broken. We were only there one night so it served our needs but these things would bother some people.
The left baggage room was our of sight of reception and left unlocked as there had been a problem that day. Our belongings were fine but, again, this would bother many people

Perfect location for a city trip to Oslo. Good location, reasonably affordable, very good breakfast, friendly staff. Just park your car somewhere way outside of the center, because that's just ridiculously expensive.

We booked this hotel along side others in the chain.for.our mini scandi tour and this has been the wordt experience i have ever had in a hotel. The air conditioning did not work and we were informed that it didn't work anywhere in the hotel therefore they eouldnt be changing the room so we had.to lrave window open except the kitchen fan equipment was outside our room so very noisy. Also the safe didn't work andwe had passports and medication thay needed to be secured. Maintenance chap tried to fix it but to no avail. Reception told.us that they couldnt give us a different room again as they didnt know which rooms had working safes were working so we could out it in their safe. It transpired to trying to collect the items one evenig they dod not have a safe and it was placed in a drawer! Took a while for night receptionist to locate it much to my terror. It transpires that the hotel is due to undergo renovations which are clearly overdue. Most expensive room on our trip and the smallest and least functional. Now at the scandi crown in gotteburg and the difference is nght and day thank god.
I would like to say that the only redeeming part of our stay was the catering staff for the breakfast buffet were lovely and very accommodating. Food was very good.

The rooms are very small and air conditioning did not work both times we were there( at the end and beginning of our trip).
Room was clean though but rooms are always very clean in Norway even in hostels which are a fraction of the price of this hotel!

Although the rooms were small, as you might expect for a city centre hotel in that price bracket, they were well kept and warm and the staff were lovely. There was under floor heating in the bathroom and the shower was the most powerful I've ever had.

Rooms were basic and clean. Breakfast buffet was amazing with many, many choices. The food was continually prepared fresh as items were enjoyed. The croissants were especially wonderful.
Entire staff were helpful and friendly, especially Elisabeth and Tommie. I enjoyed conversations with staff, and felt welcome as a traveler on my own!

In some rooms the double bed prevents any circulation. The mattress becomes a passageway and this is unacceptable. These rooms are supposed to be for one person only but are reported as doubles. I recommend that you rethink this hotel even for a short stay.

Sentralt . Fine rene rom,men veldig små.. hyggelig betjening.. god mat
4.0
We spent just one night in this hotel before we leave Oslo.
It is very centrally located and you can walk in all main city attractions and the Oslo S station.
The room is really small but for one or two days is ok.
If you leave the window open you can hear the passing tram so if you are a light sleeper keep it in mind ( or ask for a room in a different section of the hotel)
Reception and breakfast area good.
There is an option for early check in at a charge of 150 Nok.

Fint men lite rom. Rent

As we arrived at 15h30, we had to wait 25min just to do the check-in, everything was slow, receptionist didn't seem to know exactly what he was doing, and not really being helped by his colleagues that stood right behind him.
Then he did a mistake (can happen) and asked me to pay for the room... that was already paid! But after showing him proof of payment, it still felt like he didn't believe or trust me.
The room was pretty small, but let's say that's OK for a standard room. But we had a lovely view on the fan engine right outside the window, bathroom was dusty, electric multi outlet to plug in the lights and other equipment... looked pretty cheap!! (no built in wall plug)
And the room was really warm at night.
Little bit annoying, as we went to Oslo for a concert and dinner, that was a bad ending to a lovely evening.
We often sleep in hotels, this was one of the worst we did in that category unfortunately.
