    We booked this expecting it to be a nice hotel, but only when we met up with a friend who's an Oslo local did we find out that it is considered the best hotel in the city. It's easy to understand why. Luxury without pretention, excellent service,...

    The comforting nature of the decor, the quietness of the surrounds giving a good nights sleep, the room service and staff , the great range for breakfast.

    Very stylish, great rooms. The gym was tiny yet functional and being there by myself was great. Breakfast was very good, both buffet options and the complimentary a la carte options. Really enjoyed this hotel. Super easy to get to with the airport...
