We arrived on one of the wettest of days, walking down from the Bus Station. We were delighted by the palatial reception and swift, friendly check in.
We had booked a compact room and we were delighted with its every convenience in a compact space. The decor was to our taste and the view amazing. The bed, though beautiful and so comfortable was pushed into a corner which meant that we were climbing over each other for nocturnal bathroom breaks. However, we asked for an upgrade the following morning and were relieved to be moved to a much bigger room at such a small price. It worked out to about £10 per night.
The extensive buffet breakfast has something for everyone. You can have omelettes and your choice of eggs cooked for you. There are a number of coffee machines serving different types of coffee plus a barista creating something to your specification.
The location is perfect! The train and bust station are on the same street and bus, train and tram stops are just outside. Download the Ruter app to buy tickets. We found that the main attractions were easily walkable and were a couple of old crocs with ought a decent knee between us!
Oslo City is a huge Shopping Center opposite the hotel which contains a supermarket, pharmacy and state run off-license. There is a food court too; the area is rich in restaurants and takeaways.
We really enjoyed the salad bars which appeared ubiquitous. I picked up a salad each day and he had a sandwich.
