Great location
The breakfast is quite good and included in the rate. The hotel location is fantastic, right in the centre of Oslo. However the room is really really small and the look and feel is that of an old cheap place

Friendly staff and great location
This hotel has very friendly and helpful staff. The location is superb and the coffee in the lounge was appreciated. Breakfast was pleasant. I understand this isn’t a five star hotel and we didn’t need luxury as we were basically there to sleep and shower, however, the room was a little tired. There was a huge stain on the carpet by the bed and the toilet seat was broken. We were only there one night so it served our needs but these things would bother some people. The left baggage room was our of sight of reception and left unlocked as there had been a problem that day. Our belongings were fine but, again, this would bother many people

Overall a Disappointing experience
We booked this hotel along side others in the chain.for.our mini scandi tour and this has been the wordt experience i have ever had in a hotel. The air conditioning did not work and we were informed that it didn't work anywhere in the hotel therefore they eouldnt be changing the room so we had.to lrave window open except the kitchen fan equipment was outside our room so very noisy. Also the safe didn't work andwe had passports and medication thay needed to be secured. Maintenance chap tried to fix it but to no avail. Reception told.us that they couldnt give us a different room again as they didnt know which rooms had working safes were working so we could out it in their safe. It transpired to trying to collect the items one evenig they dod not have a safe and it was placed in a drawer! Took a while for night receptionist to locate it much to my terror. It transpires that the hotel is due to undergo renovations which are clearly overdue. Most expensive room on our trip and the smallest and least functional. Now at the scandi crown in gotteburg and the difference is nght and day thank god. I would like to say that the only redeeming part of our stay was the catering staff for the breakfast buffet were lovely and very accommodating. Food was very good.

The rooms are very small and air conditioning did not work both times we were there( at the end and beginning of our trip). Room was clean though but rooms are always very clean in Norway even in hostels which are a fraction of the price of this hotel!
