Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were smaller than expected and lacked storage space, the friendly service and fantastic central location made up for it. The breakfast was average, but the friendliness of the staff stood out. The price seemed fair for what we received.
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 is ideally situated in the heart of downtown Oslo, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms are beautifully decorated with a small issue in opening luggage fully but offer ample space and cleanliness. The service is outstanding, with friendly and helpful staff, though there were some minor issues with table cleanliness. Dining options are diverse and cater to various dietary restrictions, enhancing the overall experience.
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.
