Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“This functional city chain champions its trademark brand: no-frills, essentials-only rooms at bargain prices (well, at least for Norway). Don’t expect prison-block chic – it’s surprisingly smart, with plain all-white rooms, Scandi-style furniture, free wi-fi and a great downtown location.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Citybox Oslo provides an economical hotel experience that’s unique in its approach. There’s no traditional reception area, allowing guests to manage their booking, payment, check-in and check-out independently.

This lower staffing rate translates into cost savings for the guests! Despite this, a Citybox host is always on site, ready to assist with any requirement during your visit.

Citybox offers a variety of rooms including singles, doubles, twins, family rooms and junior suites. These rooms are modern and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows, WiFi access, private washrooms, superior mattresses, and workstations. Some rooms even offer additional beds or bunk beds.

Although guest rooms don’t have TVs, there is one situated in the ground floor lounge. This vibrant lounge with contemporary furniture is an excellent place to relax or socialise with other hotel residents. There’s also a neighboring cafe serving coffee, breakfast and lunch.

What sets Citybox Oslo apart is its prime location surrounded by several local stores. Plus, it’s merely a 13-minute stroll from the National Museum of Art.

It is cozy, in the center

The little bumps on the corridors. I didn’t see one of them and I fell down very badly. There was no sign. Not good for safety.

It could be a bit cleaner in terms of carpets and stuff, also the room was super tiny.

Convenient stay in Oslo City Center

Perfect location, clean and comfortable property. Easy and practical check-in and check-out. While the property doesn’t directly offer meals, it provides discounts for one restaurant and one cafeteria within the same building. I highly recommend the breakfast buffet.

I personally did not have any issues, I just heard a young woman crying on the phone, complaining that her luggage was stolen from the storage room and that the staff took no responsibility for that. This primed me to be a bit more alert with my belongings, but this is probably a reasonable requirement within a property with so little interaction with human staff!

Just right for a single person on a brief overnight stay.

The room was clean, quiet and covered my basic needs for a one-night stay. The location was very convenient for the station and Karl Johan gate.

A bit sad to have no friendly face at reception. Could have been some information about breakfast options. The experience was very impersonal.

Great location, comfortable stay!

We booked the junior suite as we like to have a sofa/couch if staying anywhere more than one night. The room was a corner room so it had lots of windows and space. It is super close to the train station. They have laundry facilities onsite and using them was very convenient and easy.

Nothing.

Convenient, easy and centrally located

Fuss-free and easy check-in and check-out experience. Very well located and good value for money. Would recommend to anyone who is not planning on staying at their hotel room too much, given that rooms are on the smaller side.

There should be cups in the bathroom. But nothing else to criticise.

Clean, functional, well priced room in a good location for exploring the city

The room was clean and functional, the shower was hot and the bathroom was a decent size. We found the bed was comfortable too. The room was very warm when we checked in initially, but it was possible to adjust the heating and / or open a window.

The room was a little worn, there was a nail sticking out of the skirting board and no hook by the sink to hang towels for drying hands, there were dirty marks on the walls and a hook that was about to fall off where an attempt had been made to attach it before. The table could be better positioned in the room to give more space around the bed. I had stayed at Citybox Bergen and the room their was in a better state and had a better layout.

met my needs, value for money, would stay again if back in Oslo

Great location, easy access to downtown and most points of interest were close by. Very convenient for transport, tram stops right out side door and central train station 5 min walk. Room was comfortable.

Bathroom much too small to function (toilet had to be used sideways) Room was noisy too outside traffic and people. Could do with double glazing
