Great location for exploring all of Oslo, central to transport so easy to get to and from. Once there, rooms are quiet and well appointed - heated floors in the bathroom are amazing. Buffet breakfast is a life saver as nearby restaurants are very expensive. Staff were very friendly and helpful, helping me with reservations and local information. Will be staying here again on the next trip to Norway.

Great location - if you don’t have a car. Nearby parking is extremely $$. Staff is competent & professional but not very friendly. Do not go beyond basic service. Breakfast is excellent with many well presented prices. Very small bathroom & no robes or slippers.

Stay here if you’re visiting Oslo.
This hotel is in a great location. It is walking distance from a lot of shops, the train station, and the Royal Palace. Easy access to public transportation. Staff provided great service, the room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was delicious as well. Highly recommend you stay here if you’re visiting Oslo.
