Fabulous art deco hotel. We were too late for the afternoon coffee and cake but had a great dinner and breakfast all included in the price. Amazing value. I have another Oslo hotel booked for later in the month but think I will cancel and rebook this hotel.

The Nordic Choice hotels is by far the best chain of hotels in Scandinavia. Their Clarion hotels being a premium alternative. Really love to stay here. Quiet, but in the middle of Oslo with everything you need near by. Superb breakfast, wonderful rooms and very good service makes this my place to go whan in the city.

This hotel has a fantastic location if you would like to experience Oslo City Centre. Also very close to metro and tram, if you would like to explore the sorroundings. This was my first stay at this hotel, and it surprised me positively. The entrance is in an indoor passage together with a theatre/musical scene, a bakery and several restaurants. Being downtown Oslo it's impossible to avoid som sirenes during night time that might wake you up, but it wasn't a big problem for us. The lobby is nice and the hotel provide free coffee and tea. In audition the hotel serves afternook cake and an evening meal included in price. The evening meal served as a nice dinner, and can be highly recommended. The breakfast was among the better I have had at a hotel. We were upgraded to a superior room. Very nice with both a small writing desk and two chairs with a table. The hotel as gym with all equipmentet needed. When we were there the room smelled very strange, but after 10 minutes on the threadmill this was any intersected by the smell of sweat. The only other thing, in addition to the smell in gym, to complain about was the pillows. We had three each, but they were either to small or to big - based on our preferences.

Good hotel with an excellent breakfast. The afternoon fika and included dinner are a plus. Had a mixup with the rooms and the hotel graciously agreed to reimburse the difference. Near to the station and malls. Tip: Warm up at the beverage station in the lobby. Staff was friendly and helpful. Helena and Dag at the front desk were stellar; accommodating, knowledgeable and quick to assist with everything.

Fine hotel centrally located. Dinner was what you would expect when included in the price. Breakfast was really. So why only three stars? Rate was quite high , staying at a four star there should be a coffea maker in the room and last but not least there was not desk to works. Would I stay here again - yes but at a lower rate.

Incredible hotel. Affordable, close to everything. The breakfast buffet was the best we had in Norway. There were three of four different types of eggs, smoked mackerel and salmon, plenty of drinks. A great way to fill up before leaving for the day. The rooms are a little on the small side. And there is no door for the shower/tub so water gets everywhere. But the toilet is in a separate WC so that’s nice. I also wish they had separate shampoo and conditioner instead of the body wash being a 2-in-1. I also wish they had lotion. Norway is too dry with all the heating inside not to have lotion in every room.

Back at this hotel again 1 year on. Standards were still as good as my last review. Rooms still very clean, and good service. But what let itself down and why I marked lower than last review was that after a year, they still have fixed the issue of keeping the food hot at breakfast. It’s a shame because it’s so well prepared but is so cold. ☹️

Dear Richard, Thank you for returning to our hotel! It's regrettable to learn that the breakfast food wasn't warm enough during your recent stay. We appreciate your feedback, and we want to assure you that we take your comments seriously. We've taken note of your concerns, and we will ensure that our staff pays closer attention to this issue. Our kitchen is equipped with all the necessary tools, including warming lamps that keep the food warm from both underneath and above. Occasionally, guests may inadvertently move the food casseroles, and we need to be more vigilant in returning them to their designated places to maintain the desired temperature. As a helpful tip, we recommend that guests collect warm food as the last item on their plates. Given the size of our buffet, starting with warm items and working towards the other end may result in food not being as warm as desired by the time you begin eating. We appreciate your specific feedback, and it will guide us in making improvements. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We look forward to welcoming you back on another occasion, and we hope to provide you with an even more enjoyable experience. Yours truly, Naira Lalayan General Manager

The hotel charges for early check in and if you don’t want to pay or your room isn’t ready, you can leave your bags in an unsecured room. The room has a wall of safes but none seemed to be operable. The base, standard room is very small. There’s no place to put one suitcase much less 2. The bathroom is tiny; if you leave the door open and shower, the bed will get wet. However, the room is clean and serves its purpose. The late afternoon fika (coffee, tea, and cake) is a nice touch and the included evening meal is very valuable given its quality and how expensive everything is in Norway. The breakfast buffet is equally extensive and of good quality. Tour groups seem to use this hotel so it can be crowded, especially the small space used for the evening meal.

The hotel is inside a theater shopping center which is interesting. Still very easy to find and minutes away from the train station First, incase anyone else from the US gets confused, Although you can book it through Choice, the hotel is NOT part of Choice. It is part of Nordic Choice which renamed to Strawberry. So you can use your choice points (I think) and even use some discounts through Choice, but your status will NOT be worth anything there. For example I have Choice Diamond status but it was worthless. I booked a Single room. It is very small. I'm just one person so I don't mind a smaller room but there isnt even a table/desk where you can put a laptop. I went back and paid extra to upgrade to their standard double. The room was larger too. If I had booked though Choice, I probably could have gotten the upgraded room for slightly cheaper using my discount. Some of their furniture folds out from the wall. For example, the "desk/table" basically just folds out from the wall like an airline tray table. It was large enough but a little awkward. For example, you can't move the table and the other chair is right behind you and next to the bed while the rest of the room is empty. The luggage rack also folds out. This is very poorly designed because my bag could not fit in it. Carryon bags are pretty standardized based on airline requirements so they are all about the same width. Whoever designed this made it way too narrow so it was useless. The room was advertised as having A/C but the temperature control seemed to do nothing. Luckily it wasnt THAT warm in the room and I was able to just open the window. This is the main reason I'm not giving 5 stars. Breakfast had a great selection. One annoyance is that on weekends, they don't start til 8am. It would be nice if they started a little earlier. I had a 10am flight was had just enough time to eat quickly and leave. For whatever reason, they don't have room service. Note, the door doesnt close all the way on its own Overall, I'd stay here again

Hello! Thank you for staying at our hotel and your detailed feedback! I am sorry to hear that the storage space didn't meet your requirements! Our compact single rooms (only 27 of them have no writing desk), all other room categories have it. As for the ​"​ unnecessary ​"​ furniture on the wall that hinders more functional ways of furnishing the rooms, I totally agree with you. We will for sure take it into consideration and remove them as soon as the next possible occasion of renovation or refurbishment occurs. I also see your point regarding starting breakfast a bit earlier on the weekends and we will look at it. Daily room cleaning is not any more a default standard in Scandinavia, however we do clean it on demand. As long as you inform us latest 10 pm the day before, we do clean the room. I hope your stay was an overall positive experience despite of that and wish you a lovely day! Yours truly, Naira Lalayan General Manager
