The hotel is in the central area of Oslo, and just a 10 minutes walk to the train station. The breakfast was fantastic. The staff were helpful. The hotel rooms themselves were fine but nothing special, especially for the price -- relatively small and non-descript.

Heart of the city, easy access to everything. The staff was very inhospitable and unfriendly, they wouldn’t even bother to smile let alone greet, need some coaching on hospitality for sure. Felt very cold and unwelcome,
