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.

Excellent value for money. The room, kitchen area, and lounge were spotless and very well maintained. Staff were always available and approachable, which made the stay especially pleasant.

The stairwells could benefit from more frequent cleaning.

Good enough for one night stay

Towels should be replaced, they were clean but stinky.

Staff are sat in a office and will help if they have too but they stay out the way and seem to be standoffish

Good city break hotel

Great location, good shared facilities and decent space in rooms for a city break.

The carpet in the rooms were very thin and rough. Cleanliness wasn’t poor but could use some work - it was clear the beds weren’t cleaned under often and the bathroom needed review.

Good cheap basic, nice vibe:)

The room was comfortable and basic it’s fine for a couple of nights, the staff was friendly when I asked for a kettle and told them the heating was not working in the room (320) they provided me an effective portable heater. The communal kitchen was good. The room was quiet I couldn’t hear any outside noise or neighbours. I would recommend for a cheap stay which is what I needed. If you have a big suitcase you will struggle to find room to put this btw.

The living area space couches were uncomfortable and heating not working in the room but this was sorted quickly :)

Great and central budget hotel

Very easy and automated check in and check out process. Great facilities with a small kitchen woth microwaves, plenty of space to sit and hang out, well stocked vending machines with wraps, sandwiches and more. Small but tidy and clean room. Central location with walking distance to central station and main shopping street.

The floor of the room was a bit sticky, I think it was the material but didnt feel great, wasnt noticeable with socks but obly woth bare feet.

Smoothest check in and check out experience I’ve ever had. Fab location. Very minimal but good value for what you get

Would have been good to have a few cups for water because our drink bottles didn’t fit in the sink. We did find some paper cups downstairs but 2 glasses would have been nice!

Bathroom was a bit small. And the heating issues in the morning made it a cold morning.
