My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was superb, right in the city center and close to all main attractions. The service from the staff was friendly and helpful, but there is room for improvement to be more customer-focused. The room itself felt dark like a dungeon, with minimal lighting and amenities, making it much too small. The dining options were excellent, with a wide variety of choices, especially the Sicilian pastries. Overall, it was a solid stay, with some positives and negatives to consider.

The hotel has a central location in Oslo, just five minutes from the train station, making it convenient for exploring the city. The service was friendly and welcoming, although getting a receipt required some negotiation. The dining options were varied, with some standout choices, and the facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay. However, the rooms lacked natural light, were a bit cold initially, and had limited storage space.
