Hotel was beautifully situated on a lovely street close to good restaurants, nice shops and train station. Although rooms are on the small size, they are well appointed with very comfortable beds and pillows. The staff are wonderful and the morning breakfast is top notch. I would highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Oslo.

Disliked: Staff & service
The check in was not happy. Staff: Delina was able to show other guests to their room but not for us. I had the opinion that it was due to my hubby was on an electric wheelchair. I was even told to go and check the rooms on my own as the room that I have booked my hubby will not be able to access to it. But after checking with my daughter noted it is possible. Also, when I asked for an extension of 1 hour I was refused rudely by the staff: Anders. I do understand I am not entitled to an extension, but it will be nice the staff can explain the reason rather a flat and fierce tone of No. I stayed many hotels in my Norway journey this time and some with only 3 stars, but the staff service is excellent. This is the worst hotel that I have stayed in this journey.

I liked the view from my window (Room 511), the room itself was a bit small, especially the bathroom, but as I was only one person, it worked out fine.The breakfast was good and extremely comprehensive, and very well organized. The location was good as well.
