Nice Place

The rooms are small but clean. The breakfast is good and so much choice. It a bit of a maze to find your room with luggage when you are on the upper back rooms.
V Joy, 3-night trip

All good!

Although we were worried about the situation of our room - right outside the entrance to the breakfast room - it turned out to be a good night's rest in a very comfy bed! Breakfast was superb and served in lovely surroundings. All in all, a great stay!

Hotel is classic gem updated to modern standards

Super breakfast, very helpful staff, terrific location, lovely modern room with elegant pedigree, quiet, yet on Karl Johan Park where national theater, university, and national royal palace meet at the foot of local governance, walking distance to fortress that guarded the Oslo Fjord, the Munch museum, restaurants that line the docks replete with harbor view. Adjacent to tram and bus routes.

Great Oslo Location!

We were in Oslo for two nights. This hotel is in a very convenient location - close to a transit station, but also close to dining, shopping, museums, parks, etc. We found most everything to be walkable.

8/10 Very good

Average, no wow effect. For 4000+ NOK or $600+ AUD for ONE night stay you’d think you’d be amazed… but average. No smile, happiness or positive body language from front desk staff. Tiny rooms. Bed was very comfy, och breakfast was perfect. Location was spot on for central business errands.
