2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

prime location in Oslo, and given this location in Oslo, the rate of 1075 NOK would be a really great one, even considering the very small room and the very small bed (140cm / 55" wide). If there wasn't that noise from a live music establishment in the basement, and for sure it was not music which made the whole... More

This hotel is in a perfect location but is a little run down with some quite small rooms. On my first night there was construction in an attached building which started at 1130 and which prevented sleep. Although the night staff seemed nonplussed as to how to handle this, the response from management the next day was excellent with upgrading... More

Very disappointed! Locations is great, but that is about it!! Rooms were extremely small... service was horrible, we almost had to beg to check in and to check out... Then the room was extremely noisy, our room (409) was facing the side street (not the main street) and it was like having the disco in your own room, we spent... More

Exceptionally well situated with clean, quiet rooms and an attentive staff. Dora helped us get the exact same room we had 20 years ago when we spent our honeymoon here. What an unexpected delight.. You are close to everything and still so restful.. The breakfast is wonderful as are the staff who quietly make sure everything is "just right"... Highly... More

I have stayed at many hotels around Karl Johan and quality and company travel policy makes it challenging. This how ever is a real and affordable hotel. The rooms have windows and street view plus they are more spacious than other tourist hotel in the area. Breakfast is well sorted with both international and Norwegian specialities. I enjoyed making my... More

This is the second time we have stayed here. This time for 2 nights The receptionists we met were all very friendly and made you feel special. Both the rooms we were given were great - just beware if your room faces Karl Johans Gate or the Grand Hotel - it could be very noisy. The breakfasts were excellent and... More

Hotel is conveniently situated only a few minutes’ walk away from the train station up the high street in a very beautiful building. Check-in, check-out was quick and easy despite a very busy time.
