This was a great place to stay- the location was fantastic and check-in and check-out couldn't have been any easier. The room was spotless, and although small, it was perfect for our short stay. We really liked the fact that there was a kitchen area in the hotel which gave us options when it came to making something quick to eat. The amenities were good- all designed to make things as easy as possible. Will definitely stay here again.

glad to have laundry. Sign said closed at 9 pm but it wasn't, WHEW! There was no free breakfast, not in Oslo or Bergen, but more importantly, no in room coffee! Very convenient to train stations, that's the big draw.

Good hotel close to everything and public transportation to the city's central station. The room is great, the only problem is the air conditioning doesn't work very well and the windows don't open much (very little opening).

Budget hotel but not as I would have expected. Great self service check in until something goes wrong and you have to wait….no one came even though machine said they would! Fortunately someone coming out let us in so we could find the support we needed hiding behind an unmanned reception! Room was a decent size but had a sloping roof so you couldn’t easily get out of bed without having to bend to avoid it…and we are not tall! The under floor heating was lovely but only in the bathroom the bedroom floor was like hard plastic matting not comfortable at all and hare to think what it would be like in the winter! No way to manage temperature of room. No shampoo and conditioner as advised. Hairdryer wouldn’t hook on so was on floor constantly which was a hazard really given shower leaked all the time. Not much space for hanging clothes which was ok for us given only staying for 2 nights but any longer you would have to live out of case. No drawers to put anything so we had to have things in case anyway. Decor etc lovely and great kitchen area but I would have preferred some tea and coffee in room without having to pay for it though a crap machine that you had to buy milk for separately and place it in a shared fridge…very odd. We were in room 655 but whatever room I was in don’t think review would be much different! Would not recommend to anyone even though in a fantastic area and easy to get to everywhere walking
