Wonderful hotel in a fantastic location in Oslo. The room was comfortable, quiet, and clean. Breakfast was very good, with a wide selection of food and beverage options. The park across the street is lively and charming, and there are multiple restaurants just steps from the hotel. We enjoyed our brief stay very much. Our only cautionary note is this: Watch out for the taxi called by the front desk. The $27 fare for less than a mile to the central train station seems excessive.

Really nice location , friendly staff, good breakfast. Housekeeping seemed overwhelmed as the property was fully booked all 7 days of my stay. Room was made only around 3-4PM when we came back to have a rest between sightseeing tours. So we either had to leave the room again instead of resting for it to be made and on one occasion the room wasn’t done at all.
