Reviews
Kristina from Lithuania (9/10)
Location is just few steps from the city center. Hotel offers breakfast and dinner. It has a car parking, is well maintained and stylish. I loved it.
Jane from United Kingdom (9/10)
A lovely old building, but with modern facilities. Warm, clean, and comfortable.
Situated in a nice residential part of Oslo, near Vigeland Park, a short tram ride of 10 minutes into the city centre.
My prior request for a walk in shower in our room, and in a renovated room, was facilitated.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Good breakfast, dinner was ok, but good value for the price of a room.Robert from United Kingdom (7/10)
Style and peace and quiet
Leonid from Norway (8/10)

Swagata from United Kingdom (8/10)
Loved the location, it was only a short tram ride away from the part of city centre that we needed to access daily. Also, loved daily breakfast and dinner options. Though options were limited, they were delicious, covered all the healthy food groups, and were of great quality. In fact, I personally liked the limited options as it meant far less food waste than you see at the bigger hotels and resorts around the world these days. The room was really warm and well insulated, so even in -10/-15 degrees celsius, we were warm as toast 🙂
Goutham from Switzerland (8/10)
