clean hostel type accomodation
located within the central train station complex (don’t even have to go outdoors), this is a clean hotel with the feel of a hostel. there really isn’t a main desk or a lobby to speak of and the clerk has so many things to do that you can’t expect much service. the bed/room was clean and comfortable but a bit small even for a one night stay. the train station is close to the main shopping street but is not a very charming area especially at night. the place suited our purposes because we were in oslo for less than one day travelling on the norway in a nutshell tour.

Just right for us
We like a hotel to be clean and comfortable and the staff to be helpful, but we do not require luxury. This hotel met our standards wonderfully. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we had our entire trip. The location is excellent for access to trains and buses to other parts of Norway.

great choice
adjacent to the central railway station close to everything. Hotel is at the east end of Karl Johans gate, which seems to be the main tourist street in oslo. Royal castle is at the west end of Karl Johans gate (street) and is an easy walk from the hotel. Very easy to get tram, bus or train. Area appeared very safe and clean at all times. We arrived at 7 am and one of the front desk staff suggested waiting until about 12 noon to check in. As soon as this person moved away, and I talked to other person, and she immediately gave us a room. If rooms are available hotel would not loose anything by giving the reserved room early. The included breakfast at the adjacent ’Egon’ resturant is excellent. They also gave us packed breakfasts to go when we left before breakfast time. Wireless internet is free. I used it to upload local maps and gps data to iphone.
