Polite staff and a spotlessly clean room. The buffet breakfast was excellent. Most importantly, this hotel is in a fantastic location for sightseeing. The Christmas market is just outside and you can walk to places like the Munch museum or the Royal Palace in ten minutes. The perfect spot for a few days away!.
