Judging by Norway standards, the hotel is probably a good deal for Oslo, provided, of course, you travel by car.
We spent two nights in this hotel in September. Although we arrived very late on the first night, everything went smoothly with the check-in. The reception lady was very polite and managed to keep a big smile on her face despite the late hours.
We found the hotel lobby, with its modern Scandinavian touch, much better than we had expected. The room on the other hand, though very clean, looked really tired. It seems there are two types of rooms: the refurbished ones and whatever makes up the rest. Another dissapointment was the breakfast room, which seems stuck in the 70's and has nothing to do with the idea of decoration. Huge, unwelcoming, it is not a place for sipping your morning coffee, but rather an eat&go facility.
Breakfast comes in a wide selection - there is something for each taste, some of it bio. The hotel provides fresh fruits to go on the reception desk.
All in all, we picked this hotel for the price but would probably look for another one, if we were to visit Oslo again (for a more Norway-like feel).

First of all, I would like to thank you for your feedback here on Tripadvisor. By getting feedback, is the only way we can improve our product and service.
I'm very happy that you enjoyed the breakfast and our service staff. Regarding an area for getting a cup of coffee - we have a large lounge area just outside the breakfast room, were all our guests are more than welcome to bring their coffee. I'm sorry that we didn't give you information about this.
Regarding the rooms - you were right at the time in September. One third of our rooms were refurbished last year and the rest is ongoing now. We have finished one more floor and the rest of the rooms are to be finished just around x-mas.
Once again, thanks for your feedback - and of course I hope we can welcome you to Mastemyr again - to a new and fresh hotel!
Best regards
The Management of Quality Hotel Mastemyr
