Citybox, Oslo

Easy check in, amazing location, it was clean, not so personal but it was fine for me

The bathroom didn't have good water drainage/water management, the door was swollen because of the water on the floor

Third time staying here. Great location. Staff very helpful and easy access for baggage room. Very clean and tidy. Will stay again

Room was exceptionally hot and couldn't regulate the temperature. Tried having the window open but the street noise was too much (unavoidable) but would like to be able to control room temp

Location and cleanliness of the hotel

Staff

The bed (a single) was comfortable; the bathroom, although small, was clean. The room was small but attractive - high ceilings, brick wall, and light-filled, with a window looking out to the street. Pleasantly furnished. The location could not be better - an easy walk from the train station and also very close to major attractions in downtown Oslo.

I did not see a single staff person (except cleaners working on the floor I was on), since check-in and -out were accomplished on a machine before gaining access to the lobby. Hard to know what I would have done had there been a problem checking in. No reception staff at all, as far as I could tell. This is a huge hotel with elevators in different locations. (The hotel may consist of multiple buildings joined together.) Although the room was pleasant and clean, the place felt like the impersonal train station of hotels. Would I stay here again? Perhaps, given the excellent location, if a hotel with a more personal touch were not available.

Didn't have breakfast. Good location, quiet, clean

Seal on shower door needs attention. Room 322

Very close to everything you could want to do and was clean and accessible. The beds were comfy as well.

It’s a sparse hotel - but it’s also a budget option so the value is equitable.

Location, clean,

None

Excellent location. Rooms were small but very comfortable.

Small rooms

Excellent location great facilities....especially kitchen and TV room..great beds

No TV in room but was not really an issue

Very central location, only a few minutes walk from train and bus station and also Spektrum arena where we wentfor a concert. Check in and out in the booths was fairly simple. The room was small but had a very comfortable bed, and the bathroom was small but good. All you really need as we were out and about most of the time.

A little confusing at first with the A, B and C parts of the house to find our room, but that was it.

Location was great, 4 minute walk from the train station. Room wss exceptionally quiet.

Wi-Fi info not provided at check-in, too tired to go back and ask

Check-in and check-out very easy and fast at terminals. Great location to explore Oslo. Breakfast option available. Clean and comfortable.

Small room and no TV. No isue on a short stay.

The room is clean and the location is superb. Only 5 minutes walk to Oslo Station!

The bed isn't very comfortable

Nice hotel, easy check in.

The location is the main factor of this hotel, with a 5 min walk tot he main train/bus station is central Oslo it is everything you could ask for especially on a budget. Yes it is barebones but it gives you what you need if you are planning on staying downtown.

Small room is a given, along with flat mattress and lumpy pillows. You get what you pay for but it would be nice to be able to ask for additional pillows. The kitchen area too should have a oven/stove as having a large kitchen with essentially just a kettle/fridge and microwave is a bit disappointing.

I didn’t try the breakfast but it was a nice hotel.

I think one of the doors was broken and I couldn’t get out of the staircase twice so that was annoying.

1. Very convenient central location 2. Room was modern and clean 3. Communal spaces on ground floor 4. Two breakfast places accessible directly from the hotel

1. Room was small

the location was perfect, fuss free check in

Some more facilities like breakfast options or toiletries could have been provided

Good value for money. Very good location.

Basic facilities

No frills, well organised, helpful staff. Located perfectly due to proximity to the station

Nothing

The location was perfect, only 5 min walking distance from the central train station, opera house, the main street Karl Johans gate. We did the check in and check out ourselves and it was very easy, we didn't need any help from the staff at all. We only needed the staff when we wanted to leave our luggage on the day of our check out. The room was clean and comfortable enough. The bathroom was very big compared to the room and we loved it. There are common areas downstairs to sit around Watch TV, or play games like tabletennis and dart and there is kitchen with microwave/oven, coffee machine.. And for breakfast you can choose between the two restaurants in the hotel, we choose the spor av nord because there was open buffet with delicious eggs, salmon, sauces.. Definitely recommended. Overall we loved the place, this is a perfect choice for shorter vacations and good value for its price.

Be prepared that the rooms are small, I mean we are travelling with backpacks so we are not looking for luxury but if we had luggage there wouldn't be any place to put it in the room:) but maybe there are bigger rooms in the hotel so this is just a heads up:)

Everything went well
