My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were really nice and clean, offering a beautiful view of the lake and the city, but it would have been more convenient if they had a fridge. Despite the room being well-equipped with a kitchen, it was uncomfortably hot, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep, forcing me to keep the window open even in freezing temperatures.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were superb, simple but clean and spacious, offering a nice view of the river. However, they were not as cozy as other parts of the hotel. The service was above average, with the staff even lending us a fan when the room got too hot due to a window malfunction. The location was fabulous, being in downtown Oslo and close to the city center on one of the main streets, although the prices in Oslo were a bit steep. The dining experience was great with a good variety of aliments at a reasonable price, which is a plus in Oslo. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, despite being clean and spacious, gave off a dormitory vibe with the 4 single beds lined up against the wall. The lack of space for anything else could be an issue for a longer stay. However, the service was excellent, with polite and helpful staff, offering good local information and overall great service. The location was convenient, within walking distance to the waterfront and attractions but could use some improvement. Unfortunately, the dining options were average, with a nice selection that lacked in quality. There were no restaurant facilities, and the breakfast area tended to get overcrowded, diminishing the experience.

The hotel is located off an elegant design-focused cloth covered wall corridor. The rooms looked clean, but were very small and sparse like a college dorm room, which made the price of $188 a night seem overpriced. The location was beautiful next to the river, with roadworks affecting the walkability. The dining offered a variety of foods and beverages, with no noise in corridors. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms provided a nice view and were very quiet at night, which helped me get a decent night's sleep.

The hotel is conveniently located, just a 10-minute walk from the main train station. The rooms are clean, but the dingy carpet could use an update. It would be nice if the hotel could provide free umbrellas. The breakfast offers a decent selection, but the area can get messy and takes time to refill. The dining experience has its highs and lows, with excellent options but sometimes chaotic. The service is friendly, with some hiccups in communication, and the location is great for exploring the nearby attractions.

The hotel is located conveniently close to the train station for airport transfers and offers easy access to the city via tram. While the rooms may feel a bit cramped like student halls, they are acceptable, and the location is advantageous. The service is a mix of friendly and chaotic experiences, with some room for improvement in areas like gluten allergy knowledge. The dining options are varied but may lack in presentation and organization. The location provides access to halal dining options and transportation, but the presence of homeless individuals nearby might be a concern for some. Overall, a decent option with some room for enhancement.
