The best part of the hotel was its location. It is located next to the train station permitting easy transportation almost anywhere. The staff was polite and helpful. The biggest downside of this hotel is potentially very long and confusing walks to your room. We wondered down partially lit hallways with multiple turns trying to find our room. Once we got there the room was clean and functional. The included breakfast had a wide variety of tasty options. The area around the hotel was busy, but seemed safe. There was not excessive noise from the street. Near the hotel there was an abundance of shopping and eating options.

Staff were friendly amd helpful. The room was great, extra spacious and clean. Location was conveniently located across from the train station downtown. That being said, that comes with outside noise and we had two uncomfortable interactions with some unhoused individuals. The last night we were there a non profit had set up outside the hotel with sleeping bags and other items for the unhoused. Next time , I would stay at one of their hotels further outside of downtown town for a quieter experience. Overall the hotel itself and staff were wonderful.

Wondeful city. The hotel was a really nice suprise. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was top notch and enough selection for something different every day. Rooms were clean and beds very comfortable. Only negative was the bathrooms are a little small but more than adequate for our stay. Will use again.

Poor sound insulation

The staff were very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was brilliant (and great that you can pay to make up a lunch from breakfast). The big but was that we had a separate couple staying in the interconnecting room and we could hear every word they said, and a lot of noise too.

Wonderful stay!

We were very happy with our room, the stellar service from everyone at the hotel & the delicious breakfast. Perfect first night in Norway! The he staff went above & beyond to help us with whatever we needed, even finding milk for my 2 year old in the middle of the night as we were jet lagged.
