    Honest review

    Fantastic location, just a short stroll from major attractions! The staff were exceptionally courteous and accommodating, making our stay memorable. Our spacious queen room was clean and comfortable, while the breakfast was a feast for all tastes, featuring local specialties like Norwegian waffles. Be aware of tram noise for light sleepers, though.

    ideal location
    inadequate temperature control

    The location is perfect, just minutes away from the Royal Palace and walking distance to various attractions.

    The room was quite cold due to centralized air conditioning, which guests couldn't control, making it uncomfortable at times.

    amazing breakfast
    great location
    dated decor
    noisy nights

    From skeptic to believer

    The breakfast was a real highlight, featuring a fantastic selection of eggs, meats, and fresh juices served with a smile. The location was also convenient, just a short walk from the National Theatre station.

    The room decor felt dated and cramped, with some guests mentioning limited amenities and issues with cleanliness. noise from passing trams at night disrupted sleep.

    trams access
    clean rooms
    dated facilities

    Convenient tram access right outside the entrance makes getting around easy.

    Older rooms feature squeaky floors and cramped shower areas. The elevator moves at a snail's pace. Power outlets near the bed are non-existent, and there's a general lack of room amenities. for example, the bathroom setup forces awkward positioning on the toilet. Breakfast room can feel overcrowded, especially during peak mornings, and noise from the busy street can disrupt sleep.

    outdated room

    I stayed 4 nights recently, and the breakfast was amazing—with an all-you-can-eat selection that included fresh juices and wonderful service! The room felt a bit outdated, but the hot shower was great. I'd definitely come back!

    spacious room
    friendly staff
    street noise
    poor room amenities
    lackluster breakfast

    The spacious queen room offered great tea and coffee facilities, providing a cozy atmosphere for a relaxing stay. The friendly staff made a positive impact, ensuring all needs were met promptly. the noise from the street was a concern, especially early in the morning, and several room amenities were in distressing condition. While the breakfast selection was solid, it lacked the excitement of local specialties like Norwegian waffles and brown cheese, which would enhance guests' experience.

    great staff but cold room

    The staff was very kind and attentive, always offering coffee and water, which made me feel special. The breakfast selection was impressive with fresh juices and a variety of delicious options. I particularly enjoyed the fantastic city view from my room, which added to the overall experience.

    The room was quite cold, which made it uncomfortable at times.
