I loved the modern design of the rooms, especially with the bed in a loft area, and their quirky but intentionally shabby chic style. The breakfast was a nice touch, although there's room for improvement. The service was top-notch, although a bit pricey. The location, right at the Oslo Train station, couldn't be more convenient. The dining experience was good, offering some organic products, but missed traditional Norwegian items like vaffels. The facilities were sufficient, but nothing extraordinary.

The hotel is conveniently located right within the Oslo Train station, making it easy to travel around Oslo and to the airport. The rooms are quirky with amenities, but cleaning or sheet changes need to be requested, and the air conditioning is lacking. The dining options include some organic products, but traditional Norwegian items like vaffels are missing. Overall, a practical choice with a central location and decent facilities.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel; the rooms were cozy and had a balcony but were a bit limited in space for belongings. The breakfast was satisfying with a variety of options. The 2 single beds provided added flexibility. However, the price was on the higher side, slightly impacting the overall experience.

The hotel is conveniently located inside the central station of Oslo, making it easy to get to from the train station, and it's near everything you want. The rooms offer a high ceiling and a view upon request but have limited space to put belongings. The service includes dry cleaning and shops/commercial services. The dining experience features many organic products and organic coffee, though it could have had more traditional Norwegian items like the vaffels. Overall, the hotel provides a comfortable stay with friendly staff, but some aspects could be improved to enhance the overall experience.
