I stayed in February, and this hotel was a great choice with a good working heating system, perfect for those moments when you miss the train or bus. The service was good, and the staff were very nice and helpful, making my stay pleasant despite a minor issue with a swipe card. The location is excellent, right in the heart of things and close to the train station, making it super convenient for getting around. The dining experience was not the best, as breakfast was just a simple plastic bag delivered to the door. Overall, it's a nice place to stay with a few hiccups here and there.

The hotel offers a great location close to the city center and is easy to reach from the airport. While the rooms were clean, their lack of amenities like water boilers and hairdryers was a downside. The service had its ups and downs, with friendly staff but some intrusive incidents noted. The dining experience was subpar with limited offerings. However, the communal areas like the fridge were convenient for guests.

The hotel offers a bathroom, although quite cramped for the price, it's not the typical dormitory I expected. The service was amazing, especially the young lady, although they confused us for homeless people at first. The location is super close to the main train station, perfect for a short stay, but don't expect more than what's described. The dining experience includes a morning delivery of a sandwich and cold drink in a carrier bag. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room could have been brighter as it was a bit dark, but it was nice, clean, and had heating. The check-in and check-out processes were simple and fast. The location right above Stortinget metro station was perfect for my needs, although there were minor issues like shower doors not closing properly. The service was friendly and helpful, even though there was a slight misunderstanding. The dining experience was underwhelming with a basic sandwich and juice left at the door, and the facilities were satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was superb, being very close to Oslo Sentrum and Karl Johans gate, making it easy to explore the city center. The service was a bit of a letdown, with some standard objects missing in the room, but it was efficient. The dining experience was basic, with just a simple sandwich and juice for breakfast. The rooms, although spacious and with convenient 24-hour access, were in need of renovation and felt a bit messy with visible cables.

Upon my stay, I found the hotel to be ideally located in the heart of town, offering easy access to various tourist sites and being close to the central station. The service was exceptional, with the staff being genuinely kind and friendly. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with basic sandwich offerings each day. The rooms were bright and airy, but I encountered an uncomfortable situation of unknown guests in my room. Overall, a mixed experience with some notable positives and negatives.

The hotel rooms were clean, comfy, and practical with a nice view to the street but showed signs of being dated and old, with maintenance issues like flaking paint and rotten wood.
