Nice hotel in the middle of everything downtown Oslo. Fridays was in the same building. Shopping and central station just across the street. I paid 200 NOK for an upgrade and got a superiour room. The room was clean but a bit small. The pool was also very small, just like a playpool for children. The gym had new devices.... More

Really nice hotel just ny the Central station, metro and airport train. Admittedly - not the most newly renovated hotel, but good value for money. Cheaper than the Radissons and with a good gym/spa 24h open! Unlike Radissons tiny micro gym that closes at 22. I paid 1.100 nok pr night in a nice big room with small balcony and... More

The hotel is centrally located by the train station and Karl Johans gate with plent of shopping nearby. Aker Brygge and the Royal Castle is in walking distance. At this location there will be some traffic noise, but this wasn't a huge problem for us at 7th floor. Arrived earlier than expected, but got to check in right away. Found... More

Only stayed here one night on a business trip, but hotel and room were modern and clean. A well stocked mini bar and kettle for hot drinks in the room as well. The room itself was a little small (5th floor). Large and varied choice at breakfast, freshly cooked omelettes being one option. The hotel is centrally located in Oslo,... More

Booked this through Hurtigruten as part of the package so not sure exactly what we paid; being Norway, probably not cheap. I've given it 5 as it did all that we wanted without problems and had some real positives - that's not to say it's a 5 star hotel. Particular positives were the staff, who were friendly and helpful throughout,... More
