The hotel is in a central, easily accessible area of the city. It is well run with very helpful staff. The room was clean and had everything I needed for my stay. I would mention my trip was during a national strike by the union, but the hotel ensured visitors were unaffected.

Great central location for walking to shops, the Munch museum and library. Restaurants and malls are also walking distance. We took the hop-on hop-off bus to the KNO-Tiki and Viking museums and the Norsk Folkemuseum. Location makes this hotel a winner!

Comfy hotel across the square from Oslo central station. Some rooms may be noisy late on weekends due to people out partying (ear plugs solved that!), but otherwise it’s a great hotel, really convenient for transport .
