Great location. Good breakfast. The hotel is lacking a lobby social space. Rooms are compact and efficient with under bed storage. Only one chair. Considerable street noise so not suitable for a light sleeper. Carpets in the hallway and the room are absolutely disgusting with stains and the appearance of being filthy. We were able to move to a room with parquet flooring and it was clean. Front desk staff were super helpful and accommodating.

Vriendelijke ontvangst aan de receptie en een vlotte check-in zorgden voor een goede start van ons verblijf. We hadden onze auto buiten het centrum geparkeerd en twee fietsen mee, die we veilig in de kelder mochten plaatsen – erg handig! De kamer was compact en de badkamer aan de kleine kant, maar voor een citytrip zeker voldoende. Alles was netjes en functioneel ingericht. Het ontbijt was lekker en voldoende uitgebreid, met regelmatige aanvulling. De ontbijtruimte is wat aan de kleine kant, dus wie iets vroeger gaat, kan in alle rust genieten. De locatie is uitstekend – centraal gelegen, waardoor we tijdens onze wandelingen makkelijk even konden terugkeren naar de kamer. Rondfietsen in de stad bleek wat minder praktisch: er zijn weinig fietspaden, al is het verkeer vrij rustig. Oslo verken je beter te voet.
