A beautiful room but experienced a number of disappointments. Hotel guests must pay a supplement daily charge to use the swimming pools AND book at designated time slot. I have NEVER experienced this at any hotel anywhere in the world. I was in a premium room, but this policy applies to all guests, which I think is awful. It was also impossible to get a spa appointment during my stay. Zero preference given to hotel guests. I strongly suggest you book spa treatments at least a week in advance of your arrival. Also, there is no turndown service, unusual for a highly priced 5* hotel. Housekeeping also finishes very early, or isn’t interested in guests who don’t align with their schedule. I had to work in my room but left at 2:45pm and it was not cleaned despite signalling the room needed making up. The reception team were polite, but chaotic. Generally, the hotel restaurants seem more focused on catering to outside guests, which is a shame.

We arrived quite late, but luckily the hotel's location was incredibly convenient, right outside the station. The service was excellent, and while the room was small, it was very cozy. The entire hotel had a high-quality feel to its decor. Breakfast was also delicious, living up to its five-star reputation. I'll definitely stay here again if I get the chance!

Excellent! Located in the city center, convenient for shopping, though a bit of a walk from the train station. There are also good Chinese restaurants nearby. All the hotel staff are very friendly and the hotel is very clean, especially the handsome concierge and the stunningly beautiful receptionist. At breakfast, a very kind Asian lady was incredibly attentive, respecting the elderly and caring for the young. She always made a point of asking if we wanted anything special, like egg rolls, which warmed my heart. Kindness is always rewarded. The hotel seems to frequently host DJ performances on the first floor; the place is always packed, creating a lively atmosphere.

The hotel's location is good and convenient. Although the room isn't large, it's clean and functional, which was acceptable. I arrived in Oslo a day early, excited for my Silver Sea Arctic cruise, and planned to extend my stay at the hotel for one night after the cruise. When checking in, I specifically mentioned that the cruise company had already booked a room for the following night and asked if I could stay in the same room to avoid switching. The receptionist checked and confirmed that they had specially arranged for me to stay in the same room, and I would just need to renew my key the next day. I was very pleased, thinking the hotel's service was thoughtful and human. However, the next morning when I went to the front desk to renew my key, I was told that if I wanted to continue my stay, I'd have to pay an additional 500 NOK! The hotel management's policy changed so suddenly; I believe their service greatly needs improvement. I also have an extended stay for one night on my return trip. I wonder if they'll try to make me switch rooms or upgrade then?! Very dissatisfied. Also, the bed wasn't very big, and the breakfast chef was very unfriendly.

The room was really clean, but there was no shampoo or conditioner. Also, the hairdryer was unfortunately broken. When I mentioned these issues to the receptionist upon check-out in the morning, they said, ”If you had contacted us earlier, we would have provided them.” Of course, in that moment, it's crucial for the conditions to be suitable. Despite these points, the hotel room was genuinely spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately, there's no kettle. An iron and ironing board are available, just so you know. Even though this hotel is far from the city center, I would still recommend it.

The hotel rooms are small, but the self-service check-in and check-out, as well as luggage storage, are incredibly convenient. Downstairs, there's a simple dining area with boiling water facilities and a spacious common area with plenty of seating. It's also very close to the train station. Highly recommended.

I really unbeatable location downtown, however this hotel has clearly seen better days. There was a very dangerous step into the bathroom, which was neither illuminated nor marked very clearly, therefore we had several trips before we were familiar with the layout of the room. The room itself was also kind of small and the view was essentially somebody else’s room along with the garbage bins. Breakfast was the best unremarkable, but the package for when we left the hotel was lovely. You get where you pay for. Again, excellent location, but in sore need of a redecorating effort

The location is not that far from train and bus station, so you can walk about 17 minutes, if you don't have too big luggage. Otherwise, there are seversl tram lines that can take you there in just a two stops, while the stop is just in-front of the hotel. We only stay overnight, having a small breakfast box from the reception at 5 AM. The third bad was not ready, but the reception boy came in 10 mimutes and prepared it for us. There is a coffee machine in the lobby, but it was not for free, as usually in Norwegian hotels. Thrre was no coffee in the room, as well.

The room was small but perfectly formed, clean, and tidy, with a simple yet practical Nordic design. I particularly liked the warm and cozy lighting. The hotel's location is super convenient, really close to Oslo Central Station, and you can easily walk to all the main attractions and shopping areas. Plus, the breakfast had a great variety and plenty of options. Definitely a hotel I'd recommend!
