Breakfast was really good. Location was ok in relation to other attractions.
But the rest of the experience wasn’t great. Hotel itself is not clean, rooms are very very small and it was not a queen size bed as it was advertised—not even a “European queen”—it was a double (not even a full). And room was very hot so sleeping was difficult.
The staff was great. The area around the property, especially near the park, did not seem safe when the sun started to set. It will be great once all the construction is completed around the building.
Very well-situated hotel, close to the train station and not far from the historical area.The surrounding area is not attractive due to construction and low-profile small shops, and restaurants.
Excellent hotel staff working hard to make your stay nice. Not a great location and much construction nearby. However, the breakfast was the finest, most opulent and delicious we have ever had anywhere, with many, many restaurant and kitchen staff to make your experience great. Parking can complicated and difficult because it is downtown.

Disliked: Room comfort
Rooms and hotel was so-so
The room was very small with minimal amenities. There was no temperature control so and the temperature in the room was too hot to sleep comfortably. We were provided a small table fan and told to open windows if necessary (this made the room noisy and difficult to fall asleep because of the busy location). Breakfast was very ordinary compared to other Thon hotels. Bathroom was tiny - almost like an airplane toilet.
The best hotel I stayed at in Norway. The breakfast buffet was superb, the local area was fascinating and very close to trams, subway, and Oslo Central Station. The room was generally too warm but having the window open provided some ventilation and the neighbourhood was quiet through the night.
Good hotel but the rooms very small. Did not expect that in Norway. Asked for adjoining rooms multiple times via Expedia but check in was slow.
Breakfast spread was great. We checked in at midnight after a long flight and Room service comes over at noon to clean the room. I requested if she could after an hour and refused, handed us the towels and done.
Really lovely, great location at an excellent price. All staff pleasant and helpful. They accommodated my early check in. The breakfast was out of this world incredible. Plenty of options for vegetarians and meat-atarians alike. Even a section of gluten free options. As I understand it, Norway is like this for breakfast. Had I known, it would have been worth another night in the hotel and a morning flight instead of an evening one! When you say no frills in the US, it means an entirely different thing than a good but no frills hotel here. Wow.
