Great hotel

It's a beautiful property. The staff are friendly and helpful. We arrived after a cruise and we pleasantly surprised to be able to check right in. Location on Karl Johans Gate is so convenient for shopping and sightseeing.

Don’t recommend for families

You know it’s a lovely hotel but I wouldn’t recommend it for a family at all. We stayed for a night after a ski trip before our flight back late the next day. The room itself was nice - we all watched a movie on a big TV (streaming), beds were comfy and the room was a good size. The view from the room was terrible - inward facing to air con units. The main entrance and shared areas are dark, uninviting and not very nice tbh. The worst problem though - I booked this hotel for our 14 and 10 year old to swim with us in the pool but they get 2h on one day at a set time and you have to pay for it! And also pay for all our breakfasts at a high price. I wouldn’t stay here again. Really unimpressed. And not worth the price tag I’m afraid.
