Very speedy check-in and hassle free check-out. Extremely friendly staff in reception. Breakfast was a delight with unusually varied options and choices. The room faced inwards but that was a delight in itself having the dining area glass pyramid to regard. Shower was outstanding, both flow and heat. And the cooler in the room was very welcome

6/10

The hotel was in a good location. Great buffet breakfast, but the service was just ok. The staff wasn’t that friendly or very helpful. Not sure if it’s worth the VIP status. I probably should have stayed at the Grand hotel Oslo next door if I was going to pay the same for a more boutique hotel but not have a personalised service

Good location and access to transport links. Very good breakfast with lots of choice. The reception staff were not as friendly or helpful as would expect, e.g. they did not tell us the best way to our room. We had to carry two cases up stairs as a consequence.
