The hotel is nice. The staff at checking was not very friendly. She was not rude but just a yes and no answers, like she did not want to be there. The room was nice and comfortable with a balcony overlooking the courtyard. It is located in a perfect place. A 5 minute walk to the harbor and many restaurants, head the other direction and you are by the shopping area another 5-10 minute walk. The castle us a very short walk away. The only complaint is the parking! They have none. You have to drive to a lot around the corner you drive inside a building that is super tight. I have a Volvo V60 and I had a few inches on either side to spare on some turns you had to go forwards and backwards a few times just to make the turn. Once you park you take the elevator up to the lobby and you end up in a different hotel lobby!! You have to walk out of the hotel and walk around the block to your hotel!

An excellent place to stay in Oslo. Highly recommend! Great breakfast, excellent location, fabulous room. Only drawback, jackhammering in the morning (there’s construction nearby) and a nightclub. It wasn’t too loud and not that noticeable. Would 100% stay again.

Room is fine. Nothing special. There was a foul stench in the hallway for two days but reception did try to take care of it, it just lingered. The pillows are awful. The bed is fine. The bathroom is small but fine. The location is really central to most things and you can walk everywhere.

Excellent hotel

Loved everything about this place - nice location and rooms, excellent staff, great breakfast. Only issue was my junior suite was above a club that played music until 3am. Luckily it was more of a piano club so no drums, but still interrupted my sleep
