“Just OK but urgently needs refubishment”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

Although, there are no major problems, this hotel does not currently come up to the standard and quality that Thon hotels would claim they achieve. The hotel is is need of a major refurbishment. The wholer carpet on the entire length of the floor I sayed on (second)floor is not only old and dirty but is covered in an almost continuous successionb of stains that simply cannot be removed by daily vacuuming. It looks pretty disgusting and needs to be replaced - urgently. Likewise the shower smelt either because of a problem of the drains or simply that it is now past its "due date". The electrics need updating, and inadequate drawers to put your clothes. No dirty laundry bag provided..

Three other things to note about the hotel, which they don;t tell you.

Firstly, the etrance doesn;lt relaly look like a hotel: it is, indeed, the whole hotel conveys the impression that it is is really a sort of "annex" to a side of a conference centre.

Secondly, and relatedly,, there is no place at the front of the hotel for taxis to drive up to(either covred or uncoverd). When you order a taxi, it waits in the roadway; and in snowy wreather - as when I was staying there - this means you have to clamber oon and over piled up snow to reach the car.

Thirdly, after checking in and you go to the lifts, you immediastely read a notice on the lift wall which tells you that there is building work going on and that you will be didsturbed early in the morning - from an hour around 7 am and ithen again n the early evening. It would have been far more honest if Thon Hotels told you all this BEFORE you booked - i.e. on their web-site.

That said, the "basics" are ok: commfortable bed, good desk, warm rooms, fridge in the room that worked, free wifi that worked, a safe in the room that worked, a secure left-luggage room, friendly staff and an adequate (though not inspiring) breakfast.

“Free alarm call at 0655”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

A convenient hotel for Aker Bridge and offices in this area. Also there are restaurants across the road, mind you there needs to be because there is not one in the hotel. The room was small but functional with free internet. The bed was reasonably comfortable but a little soft for my tastes. The main problem was noise; my room overlooked some common ground between blocks where people seem to walk barking dogs at 1130pm. Now this is not the hotel's fault but at 0655 the wonderful sound of drilling or some sort of engineering works helped to wake me in the most pleasant way. I was not aware that refurbishment was taking place and certainly not impressed to have at that time.

“Nice hotel, but a little "tired" now.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed for 2 nights.

Perfect location if you plan to use Aker Brygge as base for exploring Oslo.
Nice and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast.
There is free wireless Internet connection available.
Comfortable bed.
Quiet. No noise from the outside or neighbouring rooms.

Now for the bad stuff:
I have used this hotel on multiple trips to Oslo, and I'm sad to say it get worse every time.
The room was ok, but not spotless. Sheet and towels had stains.
The bathroom was small and dark. Only 3 small spotlights in the ceiling.
The hotel looks a little "tired"/"worn" and is in need of refurbishment
Heating regulation did not work and the cover was loose.
Wall panels had fallen down.

I paid about NOK 600/night. For that price it's an ok hotel.

Hotel is in good location near Aker Brygge. There are several restaurants and bars at Aker Brygge. Hotel was clean and rooms basic, nothing to complain.

“Small rooms, central location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2011

The room was surprisingly small to be a conference hotel. Small lobby. Not exactly a design hotel. The location is great: right behind Aker Brygge and Tjyvholmen. Good and friendly service.
