Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers extra-large and comfortable rooms, beautifully decorated to a high standard with a very comfortable bed. However, the Nespresso machines, while environmentally unfriendly, do not make the best tea for British guests. The staff is very helpful and friendly but may overlook some amenities. The location is fantastic, very central and convenient for Oslo City Centre. The dining experience varies but offers a wide choice. Overall, a great option, especially for its central location.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with spacious and clean rooms. The Nespresso machines may not suit British tea drinkers well, but they provide all essentials one might need. The rooms, although tiny and overly hot, are generally cozy and well-equipped. The hotel's excellent location near the waterfront center and various attractions makes it a convenient choice, but room service could improve and address some concerns regarding spirits quantity. The dining experience offers an expansive and delicious selection, albeit with slightly higher prices. Facilities are well-maintained overall, with a variety of amenities to enjoy.
The hotel is located in the theater section of Oslo, very central and easy to get to. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, although some may find the isolated corridor access a bit inconvenient. The staff had very positive attitudes and were attentive and friendly, providing excellent service. The dining experience was impressive with a variety of high-quality food, while the old-style wood paneling throughout the hotel adds a unique touch.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with the best pillows and bed I've encountered in Norway. While the absence of AC was a minor inconvenience, the ease of getting a table at breakfast regardless of the time was a plus.
The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of the city, making it easy to access transportation and major attractions. The service was exceptional with attentive and friendly staff. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with delicious dishes. However, the rooms could use some improvement due to being a long walk from the elevator and not overlooking the city.
The hotel had spacious, spotlessly clean rooms that were extra large and comfortable. The restaurant serving traditional Norwegian food and the library bar were great, and the staff was pleasant and helpful. However, the room was very hot despite turning the thermostat down to the minimum.
The hotel had comfortable and well-maintained rooms, despite a less appealing view in our case. The service was top-notch with professional and attentive staff. The location was convenient, with easy access to shops and attractions. The dining selection was excellent, offering a wide variety of choices. Overall, a great stay with minor room view inconvenience.
My stay at the hotel was fabulous! The rooms were very comfortable, but a bit small and offered a view over the air-conditioning system. They were a little overcrowded with tour parties, though. The service was exceptional, with a welcoming and eager team ready to assist with luggage storage and my late arrival. The location was wonderful, making it easy to get around the town on foot. The dining experience was excellent, with some days better than others. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was truly a delightful experience. The rooms were not only cleaned but also beautifully decorated with plenty of rose petals, creating a cozy and romantic atmosphere. Located on level 5, my room was surprisingly spacious, and the hotel kindly stored some luggage for us while we traveled to Bergen. The warm and responsive service, coupled with great food, made my stay exceptionally comfortable and enjoyable.
