Great location. Everything was good for what you might expect for a more "budget hotel". We didnt spend much time at the hotel. The location was key! very close to the harbour and Opera House

Allyson, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good hotel close to everything and public transportation to the city's central station. The room is great, the only problem is the air conditioning doesn't work very well and the windows don't open much (very little opening).
Riki, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location

Clean and comfortable room, attentive staff, perfect location, just a few meters from the central train station and the Karl Jhans street. I lost a toiletry bag at the self-check-in reception, including some cash, but the staff kept it with the hotel management. They're very honest.
Rudson, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, compact room. Flooring was a little scruffy and some room fixtures were damaged. Communal areas were cosy and well equipped to prepare / reheat meals, make drinks, relax etc..
Sarah, 3-night trip

Frank, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location! Beds were comfortable but room was super small for 2 people. It was fine for the 2 nights we stayed but would have been a huge burden staying any longer. The lounge area on the main floor is nice with games and seating. The breakfast next door was phenominal!

Everything we needed

Check in was very easy. Our room was clean and tidy and had everything we required. We liked the set up within the lobby where you could play darts or ping pong...or just sit and have a chat or read a book in a place other than your room. It was in a very convenient area with a nice cafe that you could access from the lobby of the hotel.
Suzanne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location, location, location!

This hotel is in a great location near central train station and cruise ship docking. It is very basic with machine check-in and check out. Therefore you will not have assistance for any questions however that is also reflected in the price. Luggage storage is available but not really safe as it is not monitored.
Pamela, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quick and efficient contactless check-in process. Great facilities downstairs in the communal areas, from games to meeting rooms to vending machines, microwaves and tea and coffee. Room was sufficient albeit a little basic (no TV, ironing facilities or coat hangers) but nothing significant enough to spoil the experience. Excellent location within walking distance of Oslo S rail station, the Opera House and many other locations in Oslo City.
JACOB PERRY, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and convenient

Simple hotel but clean and comfortable. Kiosk check-in but staff is available to help if needed. Easy luggage storage for before/after check-in (not monitored but accessed by keycard). The beds were good sized and comfortable. I had requested a crib/cot for my son and it was ready ava set up in the room when we checked in and it was clean and comfortable for him. The location is also great and a short walk to ask that we wanted to see.

Modern city centre hotel Oslo

Revamped modern hotel in the centre of Oslo Good central position. Good comfortable bed. Good WiFi. Nice Bathroom. Good for sleeping. Hotel good but basic (by Norwegian standards a budget hotel). No kettle in the room- a kitchen for communal use. No TV able to use WiFi. No glasses or cups in the room - however paper cups provided in the communal kitchen. (No water provided). Although basic Citybox did provide an okay stay.
Moira, 2-night trip

Convenient

Stayed in a junior suite this time (last time we stayed in a small double room which was very stuffy) much more room, we could open the windows and had a veiw of the street. The suite had smart television and as with all hotel rooms it seems you have to already subscribe to streaming channels which is difficult when visiting from another country, we also had a small fridge, a kettle, an expresso machine but only 2 pods for 4 nights, a couple of tea bags but no cups. We also used the laudry room and unfortunately 2 out of the 3 washing machines were out of order.The hosts were very helpfull and the communal area was kept clean & tidy and could be very busy. Very convenient for the Oslo central train station, shops, restaurants and sights.
Michele, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Its a low cost small hotel room in the center of the city, a couple blocks from the train station and was very convenient to the event I attended. There was really nothing special and there were problems with self-check in not taking the number I had for the reservation. This was very difficult and another person was having the same problem. Clean and safe and convenient, modern design style, shows some wear, and rooms were basic but private. Street noise kept me awake all night long.
Lucyann, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Budget hotel but not as I would have expected. Great self service check in until something goes wrong and you have to wait….no one came even though machine said they would! Fortunately someone coming out let us in so we could find the support we needed hiding behind an unmanned reception! Room was a decent size but had a sloping roof so you couldn’t easily get out of bed without having to bend to avoid it…and we are not tall! The under floor heating was lovely but only in the bathroom the bedroom floor was like hard plastic matting not comfortable at all and hare to think what it would be like in the winter! No way to manage temperature of room. No shampoo and conditioner as advised. Hairdryer wouldn’t hook on so was on floor constantly which was a hazard really given shower leaked all the time. Not much space for hanging clothes which was ok for us given only staying for 2 nights but any longer you would have to live out of case. No drawers to put anything so we had to have things in case anyway. Decor etc lovely and great kitchen area but I would have preferred some tea and coffee in room without having to pay for it though a crap machine that you had to buy milk for separately and place it in a shared fridge…very odd. We were in room 655 but whatever room I was in don’t think review would be much different! Would not recommend to anyone even though in a fantastic area and easy to get to everywhere walking
