In short; This place is a hidden gem amongst hotels in Oslo. The long version; I travel a lot for work and have stayed at pretty much every 4* and 5* hotel in Oslo and many in Europe. I like to try new places to visit. First of all the hotel is extremely cheap. The room and bathroom are clean and modern. The beds are very comfortable. The facilities are great. And you could not ask for a better location. There is one building separating the hotel from the Opera and you can actually see Oslo S (which is right next to it) from the room i’m staying in at 5th floor. There is a supermarket literally 20m away from the hotel. It’s the small things that add up that makes this hotel so great. The air circulation in the rooms are great and in the hotel in general. The rooms are quiet. You do not hear your neighbors. There is a vending machine in the kitchen area (where you can make your own food and store food in the refrigerator) with snacks and drinks and the prices are, surprise surprise, cheap as well. A soda for example costs 32kr. Which usually costs 45kr in the other 3/4/5* hotels I’ve stayed at. So, basically no difference in price from the supermarket. There is a huge coffe machine in which you can get unlimited espresso/caffe latte’s/cappuccino and what have you for free. This hotel is for everyone. I saw single business people staying here, families, couples. and travelers. It’s just one of those hotels that has this vibe where everything just works.

The location is very good, tram and bus stop right in front of the hotel. staff helpful. There is always kettle, glasses, plates, etc. in the lobby.

There is tram noise only in the front room.

Check in process was easy to follow and leaving our luggage in their secure luggage room. The location was excellent, 4 minutes walk from the railway station, lots of shops, restaurants and pubs within 10 minutes walk. Noticed they had tv section and breakfast area although we didn't use either. Beds really comfortable.

The room was really hot when we arrived at 9pm, although the weather was extremely warm for this time of year. There were no electrical sockets at the bunk bed area or reading light- plenty at the main bed section. No other issues.

Location is good very close to city train station and bua terminal. Lot of restaurants around. Shops are around. Having all facilities like restaurant, game zone, guest kitchen, luggage room, coffee machine. Luggage room is free. Tram stop is just outside the hotel entrance. Joker super store is 2 minutes away which is open till 10 pm.

Room size is very small. Small bathrooms. Checkin time is 3 pm is too late...neither can go for city tour nor can rest in the afternoon. Beds are too fluffy. Rubber carpet in the room is harsh on bear feet. No electric kettle or glasses in the room

It’s very accessible, close to train central station. There is a tram stop just around the corner. The check in and check out was all by yourself. There are no amenities inside the room like kettle but you can always request at the reception which they willingly lent. There is a common area at the ground floor where you can watch TV and prepare your meals ( heat in in the microwave).

Since there was no AC inside the room, I had to open the window just to have some air though I stayed last March were weather is still cool but I really wanted to have some air but it would be noisy at night as the hotel is situated along the street. Room was small but if you’re only staying to sleep at night, this won’t be an issue.

The facilities are perfect and it’s all functional.

So far we liked it all, and we are contented and happy in our stay.

I liked how warm the hotel was kept when the city was so cold, the sound proofing is really good too and you can barely hear the trams going past. The hotel was lovely and clean and the beds are incredibly comfy I slept even better than I did at home! I really liked that you have to use your keycard at many points of the entry (front door, elevator, room doors) as it helped me feel really safe in the hotel as a solo female traveller. I also liked the system of having to insert the keycard to turn on the lights in the room as it helped me to not forget the card when i left and to turn off the lights too. ALSO LOVED THE HEATED FLOOR IN THE BATHROOM SO MUCH !

Nothing major, there was a kettle provided in the room but a mug could have been useful, I wouldn’t have minded buying my own tea bags but there was still nothing for me to put it into without having to buy a travel mug or something. If i were to stay again I would bring a travel mug to make myself coffee or tea for my day of exploring:)

The location is great! The hotel is right in the center of Oslo, walking distance from all the highlights. It's mostly self service so very efficient and fast. There is room to eat your own food and a kettle and microwave. We made our own coffee for the road in the morning and had our breakfast we bought at the supermarket nearby. Cosy place to sit if not too crowded.

I know we booked a small room, since we were not there much it was okay. But small is very, very small. My husband is a bit taller and had to crawl over the bed or behind it each time. Doable but not really comfortable.

Clean and quiet, which is saying something for a downtown hotel

Due to a delayed flight, I arrived in Oslo 24 hours later than planned, and CityBox indicated that they would need to charge me for the first night, per their cancellation policy. While I understand the reason for such a policy, I thought perhaps in a situation like this, and especially as I was staying multiple nights, they could have made an exception.

Easy self check-in. Located close to the main train station, tram outside the main entrance, buses in the next street and 15 minutes walk to DFDS ferry terminal. Plenty of eateries nearby. The room was small but very comfortable, best sleep we had in 5 weeks. The shower was efficient and glad to have a hairdryer in the bathroom ready to use. We were able to borrow a kettle and get extra towels, the staff were very accommodating. Laundry facilities are available as is luggage storage. It's a very slick operation.

Nothing really but suggestions for a couple of improvements. The double bed needs to have lights and a bedside table on both sides, only on one side in our room. Hooks beside the shower for towels would be great.
