Had a great stay. ”

I stayed only 1 night and it was the best idea, i don’t normally like to share rooms with others but since i was traveling alone, u thought it is fine for just a night, i met the coolest people, we went out together. Prime location, bars and party very close, 10-15 mins walk to every attractions and oslo center city. Also rooftop terrace is a huge plus for me, nice views at night. If you like to socialise, this place is for you. It was very clean aswell.

The hostel lobby is beautiful. The rooms, however, were on the simpler side. The location makes the price acceptable for Oslo. Although it could get really loud and crazy at night and early morning if you have roommates who don’t give a shit. Blowdrying hair at 1AM, packing bags loudly at 4, turning on the lights at 5… 🤷🏽‍♀️ Would appreciate if the hostel imposes quiet times out of respect to other people.

I upgraded to a private room with queen size bed. What I Love? - They have free maps. - The luggage cabinet is spacious. You will definitely secure all your belongings. - The study table and the design of the bathroom are cool. - The bed is comfortable. - The room is warm and clean. - There are a couple of charging stations and lights. - There are sturdy curtains. - The bathroom is clean and spacious. - The staffs are helpful. - I love the fact that my bathroom has a bidet shower. 🙂 For improvement - The location of this hostel is near from the central station. Hence, a map with step by step instructions with landmarks on how to reach the hostel will greatly help.

In general it was not bad for a night but it's true that the environment looses a little bit because of its decoration... the lift had bad graffitis on the mirror, walls were dirty, the rooms looks extremely simple, I mean, you can have a little bit of good taste without spending much money. I understand it´'s a low budget stay but I had better experiences in hostels with the same proposal.

Possible to walk from Central Train station, about 10 over minutes walk. Alternatively can take tram as its 2 tram stop away. There is also a convenience store nearby. Room is spacious for a hostel standard. There is also the small kitchen which is good if u need to do simple cooking. Bath room door needs to be fixed as it has a creaking sound when opening/closing.

I've been around the world and it was the first time when I didn't see common kitchen in the hostel. Reception was excellent and staff also. They help you with almost any request. Rooms were fine but definitely not worth your money. Not only you have to PAY for cooking stuff, beds are wobbly and there is not so much space. Overall the hostel was good and location also.
