Beliggenheten
For dyrt for et knøtt lite rom
Location. Very good service and staff
The room is very vary small. Not enough space to open two carry-on bags. Nowhere to lay out items in the bathroom. No AC and the room gets very hot at night - not in the summer! Even an open window does not help. Very expensive for what you get
The location was perfect and we could walk pretty much everywhere. The breakfast was also much better than I expected. We stayed as a group of three for the weekend and had a really comfortable stay.
Excelente hotel, inmejorable ubicacion en la calle mas linda. Muy comodo. muy buena atencion y muy buen desayuno.
Inmejorable hotel en el mejor lugar de Oslo
Great breakfast, location and comfort
Great location and fab choice at breakfast
The room was too small with poor lighting and a tiny (almost unusable) sink

Great location and wonderful breakfast! I recommend 100%
Perfekte Lage, um Oslo zu Fuß zu erkunden. Außergewöhnliches Frühstück in einem fantastischen Frühstücksraum. Sehr ruhiges Zimmer, angenehme Atmosphäre im ganzen Hotel.
War sehr sauber Sehr nettes Personal Und top Lage
Sehr kleiner Waschbecken im Badezimmer
Beautiful hotel, perfect location and the best breakfast we have ever had at a hotel!! If we ever come back to Oslo, this is where we’re staying again!
The rooms are micro size. Luckily we like cozy. But it’s tough to navigate around suitcases.
aesthetic clean
Perfect location. Super nice staff. Great breakfast. Very clean.
Ventilation cant be turned off and was noisy most of the night. Mattresses are on the very soft side.
Topp beliggenhet,koselig personal,fint og rent rom

The location and beds were really good.
The rooms were really small
Great breakfast!
Sofa bed was okay, it was very noisy though, could be better.
Breakfast excellent
Room was very small
Tudo. As pessoas muito solicitas. Precisei deixar minhas malas, por um dia, no hotel, pois fomos para Bergen e eles não cobraram nada por isto. O café da manha também é muito bom. E a localização não podia ser melhor.
Tudo otimo
Super Lage, Boutique-Hotel Ambiente trotz der großen Größe. Fantastisches Frühstück
Die Betten haben recht weiche Matratzen. Sie hängen nicht durch, aber man liegt auf einer dicken weichen Auflagen. Wer gerne weich liegt, wird es lieben. Ich persönlich bevorzuge härtere Matratzen.
In a fantastic location right on the main street in Oslo. In walking distance of most attractions and shops. Lovely interior throughout with an excellent buffet style breakfast. Would highly recommend.
The breakfast was fantastic! Location was in the heart of the downtown palace action and many neighborhoods were within walking range. The lobby bar was a great relaxing space, too.
Check in was delayed but the front desk comped us wine while we waited.
Breakfast was excellent
Great location and good rooms
Nothing
Staff was very nice.
My first room the air conditioner didn't work. The room I ended up in was somewhat noisy.
Perfect location, allowed me to maximise my short stay in Oslo
Great location on an elegant main avenue with shopping, restaurants, transportation, and major sights nearby. Right by Parliament and lovely to see the palace on a hill at the other far end of the avenue. About 10 minutes walking from Sentrum train station. Breakfast was excellent, large variety of food including smoothies and fresh juices. Room was comfortable and clean.
Nothing I liked all of my stay.
Location, close to main attractions at Oslo; great breakfast, good selection of food.
Reception, I emailed in April to check whether we can store our luggages for 3 nights in August when we’re out of town and we will stay at Karl Johan when we’re back from Norway in the Nutshell, and the reception team replied saying we can store the luggages for free. However, when we confirmed again on the day prior to our arrival, the team said they had a new initiatives this summer that they will charge NOK 100 per night for 2 luggages. The team was very pushy and harsh in the email communication, making the whole experience forced. Also, the gym is located at a basement, more like a dungeon, which was quite creepy and unsafe to workout at the gym.
Breakfast was very nice. pure Norwegian breakfast. Staff was very helpful. Washroom sink was so tiny, it was so difficult to wash my face and standard room was pretty small. Overall, very nice because of the location, which is probably the best.
Room size is very small. There should be water in the rooms.
Very good location Good breakfast
Location is fantastic, central to everything. Cleanliness was super. Staff friendly and helpful. Good selection for breakfast and all in plentiful quantities.
Air con did not work well if at all. It was very warm at night.
Location, breakfast and rooms are lovely
Na
Mycket bra frukost. Hotellet har en mysig atmosfär och ligger perfekt till.
Great location Best breakfast
Some rooms were small, but that didn’t stop me from going to the hotel again.
The proximity to train station and attractions.
The size of the room. Not really room for our large suitcases.
Location
If the room little bit bigger it would be perfect
Location is great, my room was very comfortable. breakfast was to die for
No complains

Small size room
Location is great, staff are very helpful and breakfast was fantastic
Loved this hotel. We had back of house room so very quiet. Room was large with two chairs and a bench, enough room to put your luggage and toiletries. Loved the signature hand wash. Smelled like the forest.

Hotel de excelente localização, excelente arquitetura, ótimo acabamento, conforto e ótimo café da manhã. Tudo perfeito.
Gostei de tudo.
Nice historic building but modern conveniences including dimmable lighting which I love!! Very comfortable beds. Breakfast was excellent!
Teeny bathroom sink but it’s manageable.
Très bien placé. Près de tt : restos, acker bryggen, ....
The location, room and breakfast was beyond my expectations. It was clear, comfortable, modern and very welcoming.
الموقع والموظفين والنظافة
Très bon hôtel, cependant sans parking, l’a cueilli nous a renvoyé vers le parking d’un hôtel voisin sans les appeler au préalable et nous avons perdu une bonne heure avant de devoir chercher un parking public car il n’y avait pas de place disponible dans le parking de l’hôtel voisin
Au moins appeler le parking de l’hôtel voisin pour savoir si on peut y diriger les clients
Location, room
Bra frokost, sentralt, rent og pent.
Hadde et rom som var litt kronglete å komme til. Om du ikke kan gå trapper, ville jeg spesifisert dette så man fikk et rom som er lettere tilgjengelig. Det var mye during på rommet, vet ikke om det er pga ac eller noe annet. Fant ikke hårføner, noe som var savnet
Posizione, ambiente, qualità colazione, cordialità staff
Alcuni aspetti delle pulizie da Migliorare, letti troppo morbidi, climatizzazione difficile da gestire
Friendly staff and clean modern rooms at a very reasonable price. On top of that the location is absolutely fantastic.

L’emplacement, personnel accueillant et professionnel. Établissement de charme.

Brilliant location, wonderfully comfortable, great food and friendly staff. Balcony overlooking the World Cup celebration made our stay special
Nothing at all
Room was very clean. The ladies at the front desk were extremely helpful with restaurant recs and helping us with a cab to the airport. Our room was ready when we arrived. There was a huge selection for breakfast.
wish the lobby was bigger and there was more available space to sit.
המלון במיקום מעולה בעיר ואפשר להגיע כמעט לכל מקום ברגל. ארוחת בוקר עשירה ומגוונת מאד. החדר קטן אבל נוח ומאד שקט (חדר לחצר הפנימית). יש חדר כושר מאובזר.
אין מעלית ישירה לחדרים back house אין חנייה למלון, וצריך לחנות בחנייה ציבורית.
Uns hat es besonders gefallen, dass das Hotel sehr zentral in der Stadt liegt und auch die nächste U-Bahn-Station in nur ca. 3 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar ist. Das Frühstück war fabelhaft - es hatte für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei und liess keine Wünsche offen. Wir können dieses Hotel auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.
Emplacement exceptionnel, petit déjeuné exceptionnel, chambres spacieuses, moderne et confortable, style simple et de bon goût.
Manque peut-être un sauna pour passer dans la game encore au dessus?
El desayuno, la calidad del hotel y la ubicación inmejorable
El sofá cama para mis hijas hacía mucho ruido
Hotel confortable très bien situé dans le centre d'Oslo, à proximité des musées, du port et sites intéressants. Très bon petits déjeuners.
Emplacement. Confort.
L’emplacement de l’hôtel est son atout principal Le petit déjeuner est copieux et de qualité
Rapport qualité prix (Petite chambre malgré le prix) Salle du petit déjeuner très bruyante (beaucoup de monde)
Sehr gute Lage. Familienzimmer nicht sehr groß aber ausreichend für drei Personen mit Gepäck. Das Frühstücksangebot ist hervorragend.
