We enjoyed our stay but with a few more touches it would have been better
The decor was lovely, friendly staff, rooms comfy. Breakfast had some very good choices of food
Little touches were missing, like bathroom robes, facilities to make a drink of tea, the make up of the room was just ok

Central location, helpful staff, comfortable room, if on yhe small size & amazing food choices for breakfast
Only being picky by saying the bedroom was a bit small but OK for 3 nights

Very good
Ideal location and fabulous food
The quality of the towels was poor for this high end hotel, there was no where to store clothing and had to live out of our suitcases, and finally the cigarette smoke outside drifted into the lobby so hotel should request guests to move 20 meters away

Overall, my stay was comfortable, enjoyable, and great value for money.
Loved my stay here. The staff were friendly, the room was spotless and comfortable, and the location was perfect. Great value for money and an easy check-in/check-out experience. Highly recommend!
Only a small things - the pillows were a bit too soft for my preference. Otherwise, everything else was great.

Nice
breakfast was nice, pool and sauna were great.
The bed advertised as a double room smaller- queen sized if so. The bed was pushed against the window and I think this needs to be advertised when booking. Myself and my partner were on top of each other and it would cost us an additional 150 euro to get a standard double bedroom.

A good destination to enjoy days in Oslo
Good Location, good bar, good breakfast
Not enough storage in the room, wardrobe was so small, house keeping was poor.

Fantastic location and breakfast -avoid room 472
Luxurious hotel- nicely decorated. Great location right outside the station. Wonderful breakfast- best we’ve ever had.
Noise throughout the night until 2pm. Do not stay in room 472 if there is a function on. The music could be heard as though it was in the room and the base rattled the cups and vibrated continually throughout the night - really hard to sleep through it.

Great location and excellent breafast
Great location, very convenient to the train station. The breakfast was excellent with a wide range of high quality food. Hotel staff were friendly. We will definitely stay here again.

Go for the breakfast
The bed was so comfortable, as were the pillows and duvet. I can't decide if the motion sensor lights were a plus or minus. It looks nice and the building has nice finishes. Breakfast was very plentiful as they had the early set up for those who had to leave before full breakfast was served. The full breakfast was amazing.
Very small space with very little storage for clothes.

I would stay again!
Location and breakfast was awesome. It's just next to Central Station, a metro line and some tram lines. Very rich breakfast buffet. Also staff was very friendly and helpful. They let us check-in early, since our room was ready, and after the check out they stored our luggage for a couple of hours too.
Room could be a bit larger, and there is no wardrobe or smth to put our clothes
20 November 2025
Great respite for weary travelers!
Spa area was exactly what we needed after 24 hours of flight/airports. Location was perfect. Wish we were there longer, but joined a tour group the next day.
Room seemed a little dark. Not a problem though.

Amazing Stay with Superb Breakfast and Outstanding Service Near Oslo Central
The breakfast spread on Saturday morning was nothing short of amazing - great variety of options! We also really loved that the toileteries are from Rituals. Perfectly located near Oslo Central Station and conveniently near public transport (T-bane and tram). Philip at the front desk is a total gem and such a darling 💎
Nothing!

Hotel is in a great location, pretty much central to everything in Olso. Great breaky
Better lighting in rooms. Lifts are a pain. Quiet exoensive

Perfect and we will be back.
The central location was amazing. Just a quick walk from the central station. The staff was very friendly and professional, giving us recommendations and tips. We could not have been happier. It was such a nice touch to start the holiday.
The booked room, although with an amazing view was a bit small. But that was really the only thing.

Spacious room, great location and check out at 12.00.
Breakfast is great, really amazing choice. However, there are lots of people, so maybe ask reception what are the quieter hours if you like things quiet.

A nice hotel spoilt by irritations.
Location near station Very helpful staff Good choice for breakfast
The room was tiny with a double bed against the window wall so had to climb over it to reach that side or open and close curtains. No bedside table on that side either. The lighting was inadequate and so dim it was impossible to read or even see the instructions on anything. There were no tea bags only 2 coffee capsules. Very overpriced bar. The lift didn’t have buttons only an external keypad. Everyone we met was confused by it and ended up going the wrong floor. A triumph of form over function.

Amazing experience in a perfect location. Breakfast and sauna were amazing. My only complaint was no hot water in the sh
Loved the sauna and the breakfast! Both were amazing.
The shower did not get any hot water! It was only luke warm and would not get hot. I think there is a problem with the shower fixture because sink water was hot. Also I didn’t like that I couldn’t put on the heater. I am from California and not used to cold. I was a little cold at night and with no hot water from the shower it felt uncomfortable in the room.

Pleasant
Staff friendly. Good location . Nice toiletries. Lots of choice of food at breakfast
The lights in the room didn't give enough light to do anything useful. There was no main light. Not useful. The sockets at side of the bed only allowed you to use if the light switch was on and no way I could find to Turn off the light behind the headboard. Not useful. No milk for the coffee, appreciate I'm from UK and this might be cultural. Appreciate large hotel and busy weekends at breakfast but coffee machines running out of coffee and waiting on plates and glasses not helpful when so busy. Not sure if a particularly busy weekend
