“This grand hotel, dating back to 1920, delivers a certain high standard in the heart of Oslo. Its location is superb, close to the main street, the Royal Palace and National Gallery, while the breakfast buffet alone is worth the stay. I was particularly intrigued by the Library Bar with its live music and extensive gin selection.”

the hairdryer in the room? utterly useless. i suspect it runs on hamster power, did practically nothing to dry my hair. also, getting a simple bottle of water seemed like pulling teeth. i had to ask at the reception, seemed like i was begging for a basic amenity. not quite the fuss i expected.
