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

Steve, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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
