With long traditions of hospitality, the City Hotel Oslo is an ideal place to stay for those seeking a relaxing atmosphere combined with comfortable budget accommodation.
Location Centrally located, this property is only one street away from the famous pedestrian street, Karl Johan's gate. The hotel is just a few minutes easy walk from the central railway station and most of Oslo's tourist attractions.
Rooms City Hotel Oslo boasts well-furnished guestrooms that are comfortable and facilitated with standard amenities.
Restaurant A sumptuous breakfast is offered in the light and cosy breakfast room every morning to kick start your taste buds for the day.
General The hotel features a well-appointed conference room that can accommodate up to 20 people for business meetings. The courteous and friendly staff at the 24-hour reception is at your disposal to assist you with all your needs.
I booked a room with shared facilities. Despite there being only one toilet and one shower for the entire floor (ca. 20 rooms, all fully booked), I never had to wait to use these facilities. The toilet and shower were clean, but there was a stench of mold in the latter.
The location is very good, right in the center of Oslo. The hotel is located on the 4th and 5th floors of a large building; to get in, you have to ring a bell and take an elevator. This is unusual and a bit strange at first but not a problem - reception is staffed 24 hours and always ready to let you in.
The breakfast buffet was rather minimal, but for the price, it was all you can ask for. You are allowed to make sandwiches to take on the road and fill a thermos flask with coffee at a surcharge - considering how expensive Oslo is, this may be a good idea.
