My City Home  

Right in the city center (50m from Karl Johans Gate, 200m from Oslo Central Station), we reserved a normal room and we were given the superior one. Nice! We had a little problem on new year's eve night (no water in our room) but it was promptly resolved by the staff (they gave us another room in no more than 30 minutes). All the staff was kind and helpful, rooms are nice an clean, definitely a pleasant stay.

Maybe the lack of some kitchen tools and the breakfast, which is a bit poor.

Loved the little apartment! Clean, feel like home! Loved the location, just around the corner from all downtown activities day or night!

Key!!! If you arrive late, make sure you are ready for hassle with the key! This becomes a "self-service" hotel after 9 pm. Something I encountered first time. I read about the key problem and emailed them in advance that I would arrive around 10 pm and they very kindly sent a reply with instructions how to find my key. Code to the front door, code to the little box with my key. But for some unlucky reason, the code to the front door wasn't working. So I end up staying outside, pushing all buttons like crazy, late evening, with my bags.... Would be hell if my wife'd be with me - instant annihilation!!! Would be all my fault! Also I've already travelled for 2 weeks through many places and my phones were in extreme minus on credit because of roaming, I hoped to top up next morning in Oslo, so there I was outside the door, phones dying!!! Thankfully my credit lasted for one last call. I got through to this nice lady from hotel, she was super sorry and promised to send someone, so I decided to sit at the nearby bar. Then to my luck, someone came out of the door, opening it from the inside! Then all was great, found the little box with my room key, opened the door and found the room to be great! Also couldn't connect to wi-fi. There were many networks, password was provided by hotel, but didn't match the networks. Could hotel type and print clearly which password for which network and print it in CAPITALS or lowercase. And was no staff in the hotel to ask. And my phone died, so I could't call. That killed my chances of topping up my phone credit online with my credit card only Skype Access saved me. Another problem was in the morning, I had to catch my flight, so was leaving at around 10 am. At 9:30 there was only a service staff, who couldn't handle the finances, so I didn't get my receipt for the stay. They promised to send it to my accountant, but my company is in Singapore. So I hope my accountant doesn't take expenses for my stay from my own pocket.

Great place if you are looking for a good quality / price alternative. Nice apartments excellent for business or leisure.

Great location, great welcome, nice room. Only bad thing- which is not against the hotel, is, norway to so expensive!

Comfortable and good use of space to accommodate facilities such as kitchen and loungeroom. Having a kitchen made it very easy to eat well and within budget. Being able to come back to room with breakfast was convenient. Provision of good iron and hairdryer very useful.

Bathroom had a slight smell of an open drain.

That I had my own little flat in Norway for two whole days:)

We wanted to be right in the centre of Oslo near the main street and we were one block away....perfect! We were given an upgrade to a full one bedroom apartment completely stocked with kitchen facilities. The room was clean, well appointed and furnished. The buffet breakfast was a good way to start the day. We were within walking distance of the railway station where we arrived by train from Bergen and where we took the high speed train to the airport. Perfect!! The staff was very helpful with all our questions and had plenty of time for their clients. Our two day stay could not have been any better in a higher priced well-named hotel!!

The only complaint was the nosie level of the "hard drinking young Norwegians" outside on the Friday night........but then who can get upset with people having fun,

Location, price

The bed is too small for 2 people

The apartment was very clean, very large and the staff was helpful and pleasant.

The double bed was small for two people.

Location

Bed a little small

Central location, great flat.

A bit noisy at night, but in such a central place it was expected.

The suite was spacious and had a comfortable living area. The beds were very comfortable, although we had one double and one single/twin sized bed and the double was a bit small for two people to share. The bathroom was also great, like the whole suite, modern and well designed. The location is great for downtown, very short walk to the central train station and 10-15min walk from all the sights in the downtown core.

The main thing we didn't like was that we found hair in our bath towels, and when we had them replaced the fresh set also had hair. This was surprising because the rest of the hotel and the suite was really clean, so there must be something about their laundry process that is not working sufficiently well. It's not a major inconvenience but worth mentioning. We didn't use the kitchen very much, but they were missing some small useful things, like paper towels or a wine bottle opener.

perfect location; friendly stuff; nice rooms

very poor breakfast; pretty loud in the vening due to a rock-caffee in the next bulding
