    The room I got was a corner room and it was very cold during my stay. I was trying to put the AC to the max but somehow it did not get much warmer.

    The breakfast was good and had many options, the breakfast place is rather small and is packed during the rush breakfast hours.

    no real communal area. like the bar isnt really like a bar, and foyer not restful. its more a coming and going area. iended up feeling bit stuck in the room and then heading out. wish was a cosy area to curl up with a book. the rooms are quite small to spend much time in.

    amazing breakfast!!!! lovely staff beautiful interior with huge windows in the rooms

    There was nothing we didn’t like.

    Loved the helpful staff. Hotel decor is very contemporary, artistic, colourful and comfortable which (as artists ourselves), we loved as it created an artistic, welcoming and modern environment 🎨. The art exhibition around the foyer was fabulous adding to the wonderful contemporary feel. Rooms were comfortable, especially the beds and light but warm duvets and pillows. There was no kettle cups etc in the room but the Receptionist provided these when asked. Great view from the room looking to the hillside landscape. Great location for our concert at the Vulkan Arena. Also, the Food halls offered a fantastic range of foods next to the hotel. Breakfast was delicious with a fantastic range of cold and hot foods , tea/coffee etc. We loved our stay and would definitely return. First time in Oslo and we loved it we can't wait to return.

    Could not find the stairs to go between floors (and work some of the breakfast off) so always had to use the lift. Hotel was further from the rail station than we were led to believe (Booking.com stated 700m, about 10 mins walk - Google maps stated 1300m, 20 mins walk)

    Polite and considerate staff. Large selection of different types of food for breakfast. Very quiet.

    Breakfast was quite limited and had run out of several things when we got there.

    A pleasant hotel. A bit out of the way although city centre was walkable. The room we were initially given was on the ground floor, on the same level as bars/restaurants outside so we asked to be moved and the receptionist sorted this out without any hassle.
