What people say
The hotel was VERY cheap for a Central Oslo location, had everything you needed, receptionists very friendly and always happy to help (particularly Herman and Anniken), free breakfast kept me full throughout the day and saved me money, bathroom was in the room unlike other hostel-like accommodation I've stayed in, free WiFi was a big positive.
Breakfast is very good (nothing missing). The hostel is very well located. The restroom and the room are clean. The shower is really good. Wi-fi at the public areas works well. And the staff is simply fantastic (they really help you and always smile all the time). Congratulations.all reviews »
The staff is really friendly and do whatever they can to help. Pacience for giving directions and good advices. Also the breakfast is great! Eggs, Norwich fish, salad... so you cab have a proper meal before starting your tour. What in Oslo should be considered.
Great room! Even the 4 person room was great! SO clean and the bed was SO comfortable. The blanket and pillow were so comfy! The breakfast was also phenomenal! Fruit, veggies, bread, eggs, meat, condiments!.
Easy to find. A short walk from the DFDS ferry port and a short walk to the railway station. Very close to good areas to visit. Very secure baggage storage facilities. Guest lifts. Seating area in room.
Excellent for value for money.
Excellent staff. My best regards to the lady at the reception (don't remember the name, but I remember there was a photo for her at the reception).
The location was great. I appreciated having the sheets included. The breakfast was wonderful (& free). And Free Wi-Fi!.
Location, in the center of the city near restaurants and shops. Good value. Breakfast included with a lot of good food.
The hotel is nice and very well located, the train station is only a short walk away. Clean. Large and good breakfast.
员工很友善,火车到奥斯陆已经非常晚了,因为提前通知了他们,酒店就一直有人等我check in。女生床位其实就是四人间里的一张床,厕所和淋浴都在房间里,非常方便。早餐还算OK。位置很好,离港口、市中心和火车站都是十分钟走路的距离。.
excellent staff (Anniken and one other girl, sorry didn't check her name), very helpful and friendly.
The place is very good, walking distance from central station, city hall, port and shopping area.
Good location. Price, considering this is really an extremely expensive city. Staff is welcoming.
Staff are very friendly and always up to give u nice touristic advices, location is also great!.
Close to bus and rail stations and to shops and food outlets. Unbeatable quality at the price.
Room was perfectly clean and staff were nice and kind.
It was near by the Castle and Port.
Great stuff, location and price/quality ratio for the level of standard living in Norway.

The breakfast.
Location.
Our room had adequate storage and was comfortable if simple. The staff were cheerful and friendly and the breakfast was comprehensive and unfussy because of the self-service style. Good location within walking distance of many tourist attractions.
The location was awesome, close to the harbour and some other attractions in the city center. The staff behind the desk was friendly too, especially Lene. Glad I didn't have to pay extra for linnen.
The staff is helpful, the dormitory-room is big enough for 4 people, the
location is near the metro station & walk to the train station only
15 minutes.
Breakfast included, but not the best!
Easy walking distance to most sights.
The location is good and the breakfast is really good.
near the shopping street and most attractions.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
nice people, service
clean.
Just location.
Localization.
- Very close to train station - few minutes walk to lots of
popular locations
- Breakfast provided was adequate - large cold buffet with boiled eggs. Cold cuts, toast, fruit, some cheese, cucumber and tomato slices (must be a norwegian thing), coffee, juices etc.
bed, location and staff.
It would have been nice if the free WiFi was on every floor and not just the communal area downstairs. Also there was some noise from outside, but this can't be helped and isn't so major when you consider how cheap the room was!.
There was Wifi just in the reception.
Single beds were quite small and only one had the benefit of a bedside light. Bedroom door is secure - but only if you actively lock it. The hotel didn't tell us about this but we were lucky we figured it out for ourselves.
Nothing.
The room was a little warm.
Nothing.
nothing.
breakfast is so so, wifi is not very good in all rooms. Lunch time is stange, from 15.00.
Bit like a hostel than a hotel, weird.
Nothing to complain about.
Nothing.
You can only use Wi-fi in the common room. It was bit expensive cost for 1 person in the shared room.
nothing.
Oslo is expensive, not your fault.
computers were those chunky, super-slow, one-piece things that ran out of memory after a minute of use. (thankfully the wifi worked fine).
They serve breakfast from 8:00 on Saturday and Sunday, that isn't good for me since I need to catch up the train at 7:30. But the front desk gave me a breakfast box that I can take away :"). not be able to take some of the left food on the breakfast with me.
the price, but Oslo is indeed expensive. So it worths the money.
Nothing.
Only internet on the first floor. The cupboard to store your stuff didn't have a lock. The outlets weren't in a ideal spots.
Towels not included in the expensive price, 10 crowns more...
Bedsheet and room not completely made up, bathroom curtain smelling as humidity.
No wifi in hotel room, have to go to the TV lounge for internet connection.
Didn`t know that towel wasn`t included in the price.
WiFi only in lobby.
No lockers.
There were no other real backpackers when I was there. The TV-room was not really what one would expect of a hostel. It was difficult to meet new (young) people. It was pretty expensive for just a simple bed in a dorm and the breakfast was not really good. There wasn't a very good ambiance either. Felt like I was sleeping in an old soviet military building.
The internet could only be used in the cafeteria on the first floor,
that means you don't have wi-fi in the room.
No wifi in rooms, you had to go to a common area on the ground floor.
Building felt like it might have used to be a hospital or mental health institution.
Lifts were VERY slow and a bit scary.
too expensive, but for oslo, it's ok.
a little bit far away from central station.
I need a free wifi in each floor.
All the equipment and furniture seems a bit old, some is broken. We were three, but were given the room, where can stay 4 people, that's why we weren't given the towels as for 4 people they are going for additional price (I can't understand why, by the way), we could settle this matter, but anyway, just know, if you are 4, towels are for additional price.
the towels are not
Changed and the beds are not cleaned too.
- Some staff were just not knowledgeable/helpful, while others were
extremely friendly
- This is a very budget hotel - no frills. Charge for towels and remote control for TV.
However, it is clean, and has all the basic needs you would need. No toiletries in bathroom, bring your own.
quality is not that great with regards to the room.
