    The kitchen for 8 was a bit small. We had to make our own bed.

    The bed and sheets were great. The check out was very easy. The facilities were great.

    We had to make our own beds, by carrying bed linen and towels from reception for our stay in the hostel. It was not that bad, but would prefer to skip that part.

    There was a problem with the elevator in some point, but the hostel took care of it so fast, very impressive and convenient. There was an area to leave our luggages after check out for free. Nice and cosy resting area, next to the reception. Friendly staff. Next to transportation, exactly out side of the hostel. 15 minutes away on foot from the central station.

    There was no power point close to the bunk.

    Good location, and a reasonable price for Oslo. I requested I lower bunk. This request was accommodated no problem at all.

    There were 3 lockers and 3 closets in a 4 bed dorm, so 1 person was missing out on either. No individual lights, just 1 big bright one. Unfortunately got bed bugs...they seemed to take it seriously but didn't inform my room mates and didn't offer any compensation

    It's conventiently located and staff is super nice!

    Not very clean. Beds and sheets were not the cleanest and in some parts of the sheets you could see stains. Some red and others dark. You have to pick up sheets and towels in the reception and make your own bed when you arrive. This was something that we did not expect when we arrived and it could be annoying especially if you are coming late after a big trip.

    Well located.

    Bathroom with no window, no sound proof and feel a bit uninviting

    I liked the location,big building but didn’t feel like a party hostel (that was good). Didn’t used the kitchen but you can borrow a cooking set at reception (deposit)

    one toilet for 8 people is very little, no sockets close to the beds or easily reachable, shower is not decent but just a curtain next to the toilet that floods the whole bathroom

    enough space for room of 8 people, central location

    Rooms don’t have WiFi only the lobby in the main entrance, and you need to collect your bed linens while checking in and make you own bed. They don’t clean the room during the stay nor change the towels.

    It was well located in the city center.

    The shower with only a curtain and a toilet sink right nest to shower with no plastic barrier... The water is gathered on the floor, almost covers your ankle, when you take a shower. it was not convenient at all, and shower curtain was too narrow to protect the sides and too short to protect the rest of the floor from poring water..., It was not possible to go to the toilet after one of us took a shower, because of the floor half-covered by water, and the stick in the shower did not clean it well enough...

    Bed were comfortable, the room was quite big. the location and price are good. Tram stop just in front of the hostel, 2 blocks from it there is an amazing ramen place (for lunch or dinner, but it has no take-away).

    More design solutions in rooms could add some more value.

    It was very clean, warm, and had all necessary basics. Area was lively and nice. And the city center could be easile reached by foot.

    The receptionist is not 24 hours. And the electric switch in my room is not located for each bed. My bed was on top and you can imagine I have no electric switch to charge my phone at my bed, but there are 2 electric switches for the bed below. My charging cable is not long enough to get the switch below. Its a bit annoying that I have to sit on the kitchen side in the middle of the night just to charge my phone. Also, I didnt find the kitchen their provide in the room helpful, its a quite useless. People prefer to get food outside rather then cooking inside the room which could potentially cause smoke smell in the room.

    In general, the hostel is clean. Has nice receptionist
