Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station

Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station

8/10 Good
"This is a basic hotel in a great, central location. The staff are friendly and there's a nice lounge where you can enjoy a drink. The rooms are small and comfortable, with only a few hooks for hanging clothes. Recommended for a short stay in the heart of the city."

10/10 Excellent
"No kettle/fridge/microwave in the room, not like in Canada. Room was clean, beds are extremely comfortable, helpful stuff and amazing breakfast which exceeded our expectations. We didn’t use their parking (no car), but hotel itself is in the city centre, 10-15 minutes by walk to most touristic places and close to amazing shops and restaurants."

What is a historic hotel like in Oslo?
Guests who choose historic hotels have the opportunity to stay in a place officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Oslo typically preserve original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in guestrooms or communal spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the architecture and building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place's cultural value and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in Oslo have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you'd find in a hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Oslo doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
