“Very basic, Good location, for the price OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

You get what you pay for? Having said that, the quality for the price seemed fine though I stayed in a private with a private in-room bathroom, just for 1 night for a late evening arrival. The location was very near to the main Oslo station which was the main reason for staying here. It's very basic but by Oslo standards, cheap. (Which is still expensive). You must make your own beds though the bedding was clean. After traveling a bit, I would have considered staying here again if it weren't fully booked. I imagine for a few days it would get depressing though, but again, for the price, it's reasonable.

Room Tip: If you are fussy, pay more and book a room as a single with a private bath.

“Ok for 1 night”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Central in Oslo but a little shabby area and the building was relatively wear-down. The room was clean and ok, equipped with wifi and tv. The bathroom could need a little shine as it was as old as the building. All in all it was ok for one night, no bed bugs or noise in night. And you cannot expect more for that price.

“location is good, room is small”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

We arrived by train and the hotel is located near the train station. the room picture on the web-site may misleading. Because we find the room is smaller. but the bathroom is fine.
Only accept credit card, no cash. No reception in the morning and after 11:00 pm. Anyway,
it is fine to stay 1 or 2 nights. Because it is Oslo, everything is expensive.

“pay the extra and stay elsewhere”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

person found this review helpful

I felt like going "budget" for once, and Oslo is definitely the place to do so. Everything is ridiculously expensive, so trying out cheaper ways of living may make a difference. We stayed 1 night at this place. Staff was helpful but don't get pulled off if you get greeted by a guy in jeans and his feet up the counter. I think there're too little toilets and bathrooms for the amount of rooms, even if I never actually had to queue, nor can I complain about the place not being clean. The only real disappointment was the fact that I had asked for a room for 3 people including a double bed, but got a small room with 2 bunks instead. I was travelling with a 1-year-old so how do you organise the beds? Another disappointment was the lack of micro-wave in the building. I know I was travelling budget, but I was still expecting a micro-wave...

Room Tip: pay the extra and stay in a better hotel - especially worth it if the other hotel includes breakfast

“Just a budget place to sleep for 1 or 2 nights.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

We stayed here for 1 night before leaving norway for easy access to the airport. The reception do not open until about 3pm so i dont think one cant put their bags there if arrived early. We arrived at about 4pm so it was ok. The place is on 4th floor. about 5mins away from the oslo main train station. You have to ring the bell at the main building door as its locked all the time. We booked a double/twin room but was given a quad room. It doesnt bother us until we were in the room. although it says non smoking room, when we entered the room, we can smell cigerette smell. The decker bed was really low that even a petite person like me cannot even sit with my back straightened in the lower deck so beware banging your head when you wake up.

The carpet in our room wasnt cleaned. We found sweet under bed and some crackers bits around the bed. There is a sink in the room but even after running the water for 5mins, hot water doesnt come. Inconsistent hot water temp in showers as well.

The place is ok for a night or 2 and nothing more. Free wifi provided. Username and password are pasted in the room. Bed sheets and towels provided. No kitchen facilities i guess. We backpacked for a month and this place is one of the not so clean hostel/budget hotel that we had stayed.

Room Tip: Request for rooms away from the street. The tram passes by as early as 5am to 12 midnight and can be...
