We have stayed at this hotel preciously, easy for tram links.
Hotel staff so polite and made you feel welcome.
Breakfast excellent choices.
Room very clean, no water due to overnight maintenance, so we had to leave at 5 am unshowered.

I loved the view from the high floor and the breakfast was definitely good. The hotel was not expensive considering the prices in Oslo, but the rooms were small and maintenance was so so.
The check-in was efficient and personable but in general I didn’t think the staff was very forthcoming

Great hotel for exploring Oslo. BIG hotel (12 floors?) with a great staff. They have a fabulous buffet breakfast with several dining areas, the bed & bedding is excellnt, size of the room is good - and if you're lucky (or ask) one side of the hotel looks out over the river: beautiful!
We stayed three different nights on our trip, would def stay again.
One BIG plus: it is right on the tram line for the 12, 15, 18. That's super convenient: all three stop in front of the train station & on the hotel block, they go all over Oslo. Great brew pub across the street and river walks at your doorstep.
Only small issue? WC is basic, shower stall a bit small for a 6'3" 250 lb man.

Fairly central location, about 15 minute walk to the city centre. Check in was smooth. Staff very polite. Breakfast was really good. Plenty of choice of hot and cold and good quality. Once you leave the lobby/restaurant area, it’s like being in a different hotel. The downstairs has obviously had a make over but the upstairs not so. However, our room was clean and served its purpose. Lighting was a bit dark, and no tea/coffee making facilities. You can get a hot drink downstairs but you have to pay for it. Overall a nice enough hotel but could do with a drinks tray in the room.

Hotel is conveniently right at a tram stop for the #12 #15 #18 trams easy to get everywhere in Oslo right on the trams!
Very friendly helpful reception when we arrived after 10 pm March 31st.
We got a room on the 9th floor overlooking the river: lovely view.
Bed was very comfortable, pillows & duvets good, room warm but windows open for those who need fresh air.
The bathroom & closet small but fine for a short stay.
TV had a number of English language channels.
Good buffet breakfast with wide choice of options. Lots of baked goods, waffles & pancakes, roasted potatoes, several cheeses, yogurts, chereals, nuts, fruit, veg and v good pate, as well as sausage and bacon. Only one specialty coffee machine which caused line ups, but drip also available (& teas, juices) the usual hotel buffet scrambled eggs & hard boiled eggs.
All in all this is a great option in Oslo for convenience, comfortable sleep, good breakfast, good rate!

First, the room: the room was very clean and the beds were great. It was really very well laid out and was a great choice for the 5 of us to be in the same room.
The bathroom: was very small and the shower was not very nicely integrated into the space. Using it completely floods the bathroom floor with water. Also, the pipes in the bathroom were SUPER loud whenever anyone above you used the facilities above.
The buffet breakfast: was INCREDIBLE. No other way to describe the massive variety of quality food options. It was genuinely amazing.
Bottom line: I’d gladly stay here again. The staff were friendly. The room was clean. The location was great. The food was wonderful. The bathroom… the only downside to the experience.
