DislikedNothing. It was all excellent.

“I'd go back :)”
LikedThe place looks gorgeous from the outside, nicely done inside too. Room was fine, view was overlooking the breakfast rooms ceiling which is nice. Other than that surrounded by buildings. Staff was friendly and chatty.
DislikedTo get to my room was a long walk tho, up (down) stairs, narrow corridors on carpet (manageable but not the easiest with suitcases).
LikedThe location is great, within walking distance of several sights. Breakfast was good and had plenty of options. Our rooms were ready early which was greatly appreciated.
DislikedThis is an old and historic building, and our rooms were quite a ways from the lobby (up two different elevators, through the breakfast area, and around many corners). We were given some verbal directions at check in but it would have been helpful to have someone show us to our rooms, given the very long and confusing path.
“Staff was great! Thank you everyone!!”
LikedGreat location and wonderful breakfast! I recommend 100%
“Absolutely lovely!”
LikedBeautiful 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!
DislikedThe rooms are micro size. Luckily we like cozy. But it’s tough to navigate around suitcases.
