The positives first:
- Location is good, close to subway and relatively close walking distance to Oslo city center.
- Relatively calm area, little to no noise from other occupants.
And then the negatives (there are quite a few):
- Check-in is horrendous, with a choppy landline to the reception whom are not able to communicate in acceptable English.
- Parking is overpriced compared to municipal and private parking (using apps like EasyPark), and the parking outside the hotel is tight and congested.
- The room cleanliness was subpar, with dirty floors. Room cleaning during our 8 day stay was non-existent.
- Kitchen lacked the bare minimum of equipment for preparing food, no knives (only a bread knife) nor chopping boards or simple utensils. A well used sponge was provided for doing the dishes, no cloths for drying.
- The mixer tap in the shower was broken, and stuck on extremely hot, making showers a painful experience. The shower doors were barely hanging on, and stuck when fully opened. There was no soap dispenser in the shower.
- Only two towels, and no bathroom floor mat/towel or hand towels.
- No A/C in the room, but a fan was provided which in combination with a wide open window provided an almost bearable temperature in the room during the night.
- The bed was hard as concrete.
- The microwave was broken.
- The fire alarm triggered multiple times during the day.
- The soap in the bathroom dispenser was watered down (probably to save money).
