We stayed for three nights and have never been so disappointed ever. The hotel is under a massive renovation, but there is no information about this at their website or when booking. Due to the noise from the renovation, it is impossible to sleep after 7 am in the morning even at the weekend. The room and its furniture are... More

Staff, restaurant and breakfast are nice, but that's it. Room is extremely old and does not reflect the quality you would expect given the high prices. Plus I woke up with bedbug bites everywhere. They probably got into my suitcase and now, back in my country, I am having an impossible team getting rid of them...

I have experienced this at a hotel in spain myself, and must agree - its hard to get right of. You must freeze... More

We travel a lot and have been to many hotels. This is one of the worst! We called the hotel to ask for directions. The receptionist told us a few times that she was new and was not sure.

We spent two nights at this hotel over Easter. It was surprisingly quiet, which suited us. We had booked a junior suite, but the gentleman on reception said that he had allocated us a superior extra room, as the descriptions on the website were misleading and that we would prefer this room. We didn't get to see a junior suite,... More

People are nice and try to do their best, breakfast are good enough even if you cannot get a good coffee. The main problem - which could be significant for an hotel- is about the rooms : small bed, house keeping so so...at the end not a very good place to take rest despite a good location.

Titlte says most of what I want to say. One of the more expensive places I've stayed in Oslo and yet not really up there with even the very average.

Hotel has a really good location: railway station, city center, fort and Felix conference center within a walk distance. Very nice bay view from a hotel room. It is easy to get lost in a korridor while looking for the room.
