A Nice Stay

wonderful array morning run quiet room
I found the breakfast amazing with a wonderful array of choices. The location allowed a quick walk to the river path, perfect for my morning run. The room provided was quiet and I slept soundly. I especially loved the proximity to Grunerlokka. It was only a short walk away.
The air conditioning unit in the room seemed to condense a lot, causing a wet spot on the floor in the hallway. This was a bit inconvenient.
Rooms

My room had nice decorations and was very comfortable,. It also included helpful amenities, such as liquid soap, conditioner, and a hairdryer. The large bathroom added to the experience.
Dining
10/10
Breakfast stood out with a generous selection of options, with a wide range of pastries and local specialties to choose from, with a rich taste of the region. I was delighted with the breakfast area. It was cozy and inviting. The food was really good.

breakfast selection scenic river ventilation problem loud sound
The breakfast selection amazed me. So many choices were available and everything tasted fresh. The hotel's location proved very convenient. It sat close to the vibrant Grunerlokka area and a scenic river path!
The ventilation seemed off. It shut down at night. I could not open the windows easily, made the room stuffy. I heard loud sounds of water traveling through pipes whenever someone flushed a toilet above me! This issue was quite disruptive.
