Great location - if you don’t have a car. Nearby parking is extremely $$. Staff is competent & professional but not very friendly. Do not go beyond basic service. Breakfast is excellent with many well presented prices. Very small bathroom & no robes or slippers.

Stay here if you’re visiting Oslo.
This hotel is in a great location. It is walking distance from a lot of shops, the train station, and the Royal Palace. Easy access to public transportation. Staff provided great service, the room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was delicious as well. Highly recommend you stay here if you’re visiting Oslo.

The hotel is a nice part of time close to the harbor. It is a bit of a maze inside the hotel and the gym facilities are limited. The breakfast is really amazing. Excellent for American standards. People are friendly and a late check out at 2pm was possible without cost.

Great looking hotel in great location. We had a larger room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the pretty park opposite. This was a highlight for us as nice to sit and sip on a wine and watch street below. Was surprised and disappointed that as part of my VIP package that my 2 x free beverages (no conditions in booking) equated to a bottle of water or coke only. Upon asking why not a glass of wine or alcohol i was advised in Norway free alcohol is not promoted. My view was it was complimentary (i received complimentary drinks in Bergen Norway?). This needs to be reviewed as misleading. Other concern was no top up to tea or coffee pods on the 3 days we were at hotel. Breakfast quite comprehensive so no complaints there. Overall location and hotel great, customer service not at level of any other hotels from our 3 week Scandinavia holiday. PS: steer clear of Scotsman bar nearby, the barman is rudest person I've ever dealt with. Was also rude to my wife and online reviews are terrible.
