This was a great location to get to everything in Oslo and it was really easy to do the check in process. The only problem i had was that it seemed like i was checked out of the hotel before i actually checked out.

Personally not a big fan of the self-service hotel. Bed was comfortable, shower somewhat tiny. Staff was helpful however. If just for business or a single night, it is fine. For longer stays i would not recommend

A Good central hotel

The staff were very friendly and accomodated an early check in, which was really appreciated, the room was spacious and clean (room 618)& the hotel offered a wonderful breakfast. Quite centrally located only 2 or 3 stops from central station & the tram stops right outside so easy to around however street view rooms do experience street noise but nothing which had any signifant effect on my stay.
