Really nice hotel, lovey rooms with huge windows with great views (even if they are towards other buildings). Brilliant breakfast with a huge choice and nice restaurant. Only downside was how far it is to a bus stop and therefore central Oslo/anywhere to eat. Fine to walk to a bus/metro when it’s not raining but didn’t fancy it at night so got an Uber/Bolt (very easy). Staff all lovely and whole hotel well kept from what we saw.

literaly they don't let you check in until 4 pm even if your room is ready because they want you to pay a fee to check in early. After a 10 hour flight I got there at 3:30 and I had to wait until 4pm to get my room. I never saw any people cleaning or vacuum or cleaning the place. The carpet was fillty. Breakfast was good, the person at the counter was very pleasant. They don't clean your room, after I requested the service for 5 days, I stayed there just one time they came to clean my room.
