Smarthotel Oslo

Simple, functional room. No extras, but none required, comfortable bed/bedding, very quiet, very clean, ideal.

I think that your experience in this hotel will depend a lot on your expectations. This is a budget hotel and they don't kid around with the budget part.I stayed in the small double room which is supposed to be for up to two people but it was barely big enough for one. It has no closet and the bathroom sink is the smallest that I have ever seen. The hotel offers a place to leave your luggage but it is not really convenient. They only clean your room on special days and there is no phone in your room so you can't call the front desk. Now, all that being said, the hotel is perfectly located, close to many attractions and the University of Oslo where I was attending a conference. The price is very reasonable and the breakfast is very good. The staff is nice and I found the room clean enough (it gets dirty very quickly because there is not much cleaning and the table had stains which don't come off easily because I tried to clean it). The internet also worked very well. So if you're travelling on a budget and staying in a centric place is important for you, I recommend this place. Just be aware that as a budget hotel it comes with many limitations.

room really small ..staff really friendly ..

One major problem, I've stayed here for three nights and I've had little or no wifi. They haven't been able to fix that and having international videoconferences in the middle of the night using data is a major inconvenience. The last day there's been no TV channels and they didn't notify the guests about the noise of the construction in the backyard in the mornings. Staff is very friendly though.

Nice clean hotel with buffet breakfast. Location was easy walk to the water front. Staff was friendly and helpful.
