Oslo hotellit lähellä Museet for samtidskunst

Plussat: Close to the airport, 10 min walk. Close to the train 5 min walk. Free shuttle to airport. Taxi to central station was cheap, 160 kroner. Rooms are clean. Bed was comfortable.

Miinukset: Breakfast was not included in room, 99 kroner extra. Shower was tiny. So small I kept hitting the control for hot and cold water.

Plussat: Nice hotel, great location!

Plussat: Great breakfast, very nice and large rooms, comfortable beds

Miinukset: Hallways a bit stark. No view from window

Plussat: Super friendly staff, not only breakfast but a generous dinner included as well. Internet speed higher than our nbn in Australia (60 down and 90 up). I like their efforts to reduce waste, both with reminders in the restaurant to “Take what you want but eat what you take” and with large soap wall dispensers in the shower and next to the basin. Bed is super comfy. The hotel provided a Bose Bluetooth speaker to connect to. Room is adequately sized, shower is nice. Could not really fault this hotel.

Miinukset: The wine selection is rubbish and both wine and beer are very expensive for what they are, but that’s mostly Norway I think

Plussat: A lot of choice for breakfast.

Miinukset: A bit noisy because of works inside the hotel.

Plussat: The room was comfortable but no frills. It is very close to the main Oslo train station (Oslo S) so we easily walked or caught buses, trains, and trams to wherever we needed to go. The room included breakfast and the breakfast buffet was very good (fairly typical of European breakfast buffets, but - still - very good). The staff is friendly and speaks English well. It was easy to leave our bags in the locked self-storage room while we traveled overnight to see the fjords.

Plussat: everything were very good. The location was good for traveller-very close to Royal Palace and downtown. Room was spacious and clean. Staffs were very friendly.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Clean, friendly staff, great WiFi, perfect location across from train station and main tourist road (Karl Johan Gate), close to many tourist attractions, room has a minimalist desk and chair for laptop/writing/books, etc. Was satisfied with my stay - being next to the train station and main subway station is perfect for getting in and out of Oslo as well as exploring the city by public transportation (and walking everywhere by foot is easy, too).

Miinukset: In less expensive cities could get more for your money (but Oslo is very expensive in general). Rooms are small but not too small for those just wanting a place to sleep. Very few amenities (e.g. no daily room service except for a fee, no breakfast, etc.).

Plussat: Stig the Receptionist at front desk who tried to rectify the problems with our rooms

Miinukset: My wife and I arrived on the 17th August 2015, and on attempting to check-in we were told the "computer system" was not working and therefore we we not able to check in. We were told to either wait (they could not provide an estimate on how long it would take). After a 15-min wait we were checked in "manually". As an American Carlson member, I presented my Club Carlson Gold card, but it wasn't accepted because my trip was booked through Kayak! Nevertheless after a short delay we were in our room. Immediately we noticed that the carpet in the room was dirty, and there were 2-single beds (as opposed to a double as we booked) Credit to the front desk staff who promptly reassigned us to a "newly refurbished" room. The room was a marked improvement over the last, and we happily settled in; unpacking our suitcases and preparing for an afternoon of sightseeing. On return in the evening, we prepared for the night and around 20:00 we tried to lock the door. The door lock did not work. A call to the front desk and a couple of minutes later someone from maintenance was at our door. I explained that the door wouldn't lock from the inside and he insisted that the lock was working. I was a bit taken back by his curt response, but nevertheless invited him to try. What followed next had me flabbergasted! The maintenance employee closed the door, and using his body weight proceeded to to yank on the door handle until he could engage the lock. Curtly he replied, "There it is locked". I attempted to unlock door by turning the lock itself and when I couldn't he demonstrated how to unlock the door. Standing on his toes and again using all his body weight he pressed down on the door handle until the lock disengaged. Again the curt response, "There it is unlocked". I couldn't believe it! Visibility annoyed at this point, when I pointed out that locking the door in such a manner would be a fire hazard (not to mention my wife will never be able to unlock the door if I locked it), he suggested that I actually didn't need to lock the door as no one from the outside could get in without a key. In response I stated that any member of staff could enter if the door was unlocked, to which he acknowledged was true and said I could either call the front desk to arrange a new room, lock the door as he demonstrated, or leave the door unlocked; but there was nothing he could do to fix the lock. Another call to the front desk and we were offered a room on the 20th floor. So after repacking we moved to our 3-room for the day. From then on the only issues we faced were with our room keys. Every time we left our room, the room key would not let us back in. So we had to make our way to the front desk where they would make a new key. Every time without fail!

Plussat: Breakfast buffet was nice, good location

Miinukset: Didn't really have air conditioning -- our room was really hot which was disruptive

Plussat: King-sized bed, which was hard to find in Oslo, or Europe for that matter. Comfortable, quiet room. Helpful staff. Great breakfast.

Miinukset: Carpet next to bed needed cleaning, and our daughters' shower did not drain. reported both.

Plussat: The staff was excellent - they helped me recover my kindle when I accidentally left it on the airport shuttle. They also helped me with directions and provided assistance in finding my way around Oslo. The breakfast buffet was very good as well.

Miinukset: Room temperature was a bit warm for my taste - the ac was apparently not on yet (early spring), so I could not make the room cooler.

Plussat: We don't know what we would have liked because our reservation was cancelled on the morning of our flight to Oslo because of a hotel workers strike.

Miinukset: Obviously, we didn't like the need to find another hotel at the very last minute.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly and helpful, room was clean, quiet, comfortable. Free laundry ( need your own detergent and a 20 kroner coin which you get back). Gym looked decent too. I would defibitely return.

Plussat: The tortoise show.

Miinukset: One of the women at the front desk.
