“Needs an update”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Spend 1 night in Oslo before the flight home. Hotel looks fine and luxureous. The room itself was clean, but is in desperate need of an update. Carpet a bit worn and looking shabby, pieces of skirting missing, some mould on the shower tiles, shower head spraying in all directions. And a shower curtain... it was clean, but who uses this in 2012. Matrass was good, but bed was small. Early bird breakfast (from 5 AM) was fine. It is just near the central trainstation of Oslo, so transport to the airport (20 minutes) is fine.
Wifi did not work, I could get connected but no application worked.

“Wonderful home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

One reveiwer said that the breakfast here was nothing special. He could not be more wrong. The spread of foods was incredible and almost nothing left out. Where else can you get home made norwegian style waffles fresh off the waffleiron? Staff were helpful and courteous, and free internet was great. Also liked the sauna pool and gym. Not the cheapest place to stay, but location is second to none. I loved it, especially as we stayed over New years eve and got a bird's eye view of the fireworks. Just a hop and a skip to the train station and buses and metro are outside the door. Can walk to large shopping centres and the Akershus fortress. Tourist info centre and all hours shops across the road.

Room Tip: I requested a room with a view when I booked online and we did get a floor higher up.

“Centrally Located in Oslo”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Though I was only in Oslo for one night, this hotel was nicely located within the city, putting you close to the main sights. Room was are good but my company put me up in a small room.

A pretty decent breakfast spread but nothing special.

Another great point is that it is located right across from the train station.

I will stay here again for sure.

“Good - considerably above average but not quite very good”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

I think what I disliked about the place was the size of the room - too small and cramped. It ws not incredibly cheap even though I got some kind of deal @ EUR 150 per night.
Otherwise it was good place for sure - great location, friendly staff, good facilities (restaurant, lounges, business centre where just about anyone can use the lounge, free coffee, good lunch buffet), nice ambience, not cheap but not prohibitively expensive either.
Good place, I'd recommend it if you got a larger room.
Enjoyed Oslo in general.
