Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located near downtown with easy access to restaurants and cafes. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, though a bit small for a double room. The service is exceptional and very helpful, going above and beyond for guests. The dining options are varied and delicious, offering a wide selection of dishes. Overall, a great value for money stay with top-notch service and amenities.
The hotel had a cozy and warm atmosphere, with friendly service and a convenient location in the heart of Oslo. The dining options were varied and satisfying, but there were some issues with temperature control in the rooms.
The hotel had both positives and negatives. The rooms were large and very clean but unfortunately too hot. The service was a mix of not knowing basic operations like the thermostat and being exceptionally helpful with local recommendations. The location was perfect for exploring the city, very close to the central station. Dining offered exceptional options but was not perfect the first time around. Overall, a good value for money option with a mix of great features and some minor downsides.
The hotel has a typical Scandinavian shower, cozy but slightly small rooms, and a dark ambiance even during the daytime. However, it feels like a luxurious living room setting, which was interesting, especially in the constant daylight of summer.
My stay at the hotel was delightful, with spacious and beautiful rooms featuring a unique 270-degree balcony inside the room. While the room lacked some elements like a safe, it provided a cozy space with a bed, bedside tables, and a fold-down desk chair. The service was exceptional, with helpful and kind staff, though there were some minor issues with basic room operations like the thermostat. The location was superb, just a few minutes' walk from the central station, making it convenient for exploring the city attractions. The dining experience was outstanding, offering a diverse selection of dishes in a lovely restaurant setting. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor room size drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a little on the small side, but the bed was very comfortable. The service was exceptional, and the staff even gave us a 10% discount due to the uncomfortable heat. The location was fantastic, just a few minutes' walk from the central station, making it very convenient. The dining experience was top-notch with great quality and service, although it started a bit late on Sunday mornings.
