i really enjoyed the hotel's proximity to grünerløkka. the staff was super friendly, they helped with directions. the breakfast was quite good, many choices available. the gym, while small, had necessary equipment for a quick workout.
The room faced a noisy street. Traffic was constant. the window lacked sufficient soundproofing. this made sleeping difficult at times.
