This hotel is 3 minutes’ walk from Oslo’s main shopping street, Karl Johans Gate. It offers free WiFi and bright rooms with a smart TV and heated bathroom floors. Some rooms also feature tea/coffee facilities.

The staff really made this stay enjoyable for me. Literally everyone I encountered, from the front desk to the breakfast area, were super kind and helpful. My toddler locked himself in the bathroom at one point and the front desk man was there in no time to help me. Everyone in the breakfast room was amazing, especially the woman from Poland (I'm sorry, I forgot everyone's name) who explained the brown cheese to me. Just so welcoming! Everyone was really friendly and I can't emphasize enough how delighted I am with the people in this hotel. Perfect location, comfortable room.
