    The breakfast buffet was very tasty and very appealing. There's definitely something for everyone. The location of the hotel is a dream. I don't think it could be more central. On foot, one is with a few steps in the middle of the action and the subway station is also close by.

    Our room was a bit small. Looked bigger in the pictures.

    This place is wonderful, with tidy rooms, amazingly nice staff, and a stunning location close to the city center where I had a well-kept double room with excellent beds and a lovely shower.

    hotel was in central oslo so all amenities were a short walk away.. breakfast had something for everyone from fried to vegetarian food and special diets like gluten free

    being at the front of the hotel it was very noisy and the norwegians seem to celebrate until 04.00am,but that was the only downside to the hotel

    Excellent location: right next to the Parliament, but on a quiet street. Clean, very functional rooms. Excellent breakfast.

    The rooms were on the small side and the use of the computer in the lobby was not free (WiFi was free, however). No water kettle in the room.

    Perfect and superior location for visiting Oslo. Really close to the center as well as bus/metro stops. - Malik's Original Bistro serves quick meals 5 mins walk from the hotel.

    Modern good budget hotel in good and fantastic location in easy walking distance of the train station. A wide array of food at the savoury and sumptuous breakfast. Easy check in and in general nice service. Location right by transport as well as exactly at city centre. For tea or coffee visit Joe & the Juice nearby.

    Clearly inexperienced staff!
