*8.0* Rockefeller Music Hall: only 6 minutes away! (500 yards on foot)

For me, the pictures don’t do it justice, good location warm and cosy.

Nicola, United Kingdom

It was very easy to get to places. There are Bus and tram stations very near and the staff was also very nice and always ready to answer all your question.

Soph, Switzerland

Warm and inviting place enjoyable when you need to relax after lomg day

Jpeacock, Australia

The location is great, close to the center and easy to get around from. The dorm itself was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable, but a little bit squeaky.

Marie, Germany

Kitchenette in rooms; cheap accommodation (which is a plus given that Oslo is very expensive); and great location!

Dfrett_775, United Kingdom

The location was good. The kitchen is inside the room and it is possible to borrow kitchenware. We left early, so they arranged a packed breakfast for us.

Andrea, Argentina

The twin room is clean, very spacious and lot of empty space to put stuff. About 10 mins walking distance from Oslo central station.

Willnil, Malaysia

In such an expensive city, the price was great, as was the location. It was an easy walk to everything. The staff was available 24/7 and was very friendly and helpful.

Breakfast is one of the best. Wifi is excellent (free)

It was really nothing special. The rooms are very simple (they do have a shower and a toilet tho which was very nice). At night it got really hot in the room that we had to open the windows so we would not sweat (I was there in January), that was kind of annoying.
It was very easy to get to places. There are Bus and tram stations very near and the staff was also very nice and always ready to answer all your question.

Not sure if it was meant to be, but I did end up in a room with two other guys, who were not really expecting me. But no biggee for me, as I only needed a bed for the night.
It was just for one night, so I can't really say too much. But, thanks to the team at the hostel who were very accommodating right from before I even arrived, helping to give directions from the bus station. On my arrival, way past the time I was meant to arrive, they were super helpful. Thanks!

Renting bed linen costs 50 crowns, which I think is very expensive (especially since we only stayed one night and already paid quite a bit of money for the dorm). The bathroom was bad, there is no partition between shower and rest of bathroom so everything was wet after somebody showered. It also smelled a bit funny, we weren't sure if it was coming from the bathroom or not but it was stuck in the room.
The location is great, close to the center and easy to get around from. The dorm itself was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable, but a little bit squeaky.

That I have to pay extra cash for towel and bed sheet and have to carry it by myself and make my bed .(since I paid for a single room , for one person , I was expecting more )
The room is big and clean, with partial cooking equipment .. there is stove & fridge but no cup or plate or pot . The bed is not that comfortable . You have to pay extra money for the bed sheet and towel , which is strange (for me ).

Not as clean as it could have been. Elevator was extremely sketchy, felt like it could break at any minute. Staff wasn’t as friendly as other places, when checking in they just gave me my key and didn’t have any helpful advice on things to do or see
Location is actually very nice and close to everything
