I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with a fantastic view, but unfortunately, they lacked natural ventilation as windows couldn't be opened. The service was friendly and helpful, but there were some issues with room cleans and towel replacements. The dining experience was delightful with a delicious breakfast buffet, but the restaurant ambiance was not the best. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.

The hotel is situated in the heart of Oslo, overlooking the main street and providing easy access to all parts of the city center. While the rooms offer a quiet stay, they are small and lack natural ventilation, requiring reliance on AC.

Dining options were excellent with a wide variety of choices, making it a convenient option for food lovers.
