We stayed in a small double room which was compact but had everything we needed. The hotel is near the palace so fairly central.
We would stay here again.

Small room but comfortable bed. No desk space. TV instructions were incomprehensible so I could never watch tv. Rooms only cleaned every four days, so you had to scrounge if you needed something like more toilet paper.
Breakfast had some good things (fresh pastries!) but was always the same. No strong black tea, however.

The room is just that...a very very small room...only place to put luggage is spread out on the floor...bed had walls on three sides with the tv hanging on the wall above your feet quite literally...it only had apps on it -no channels-and you have to sign in to your own accounts but not that many apps...no table ..window does not open and looks out on bare cement...when you get out of bed you will step on your luggage..bathroom has one towel and nothing else..so small that the extremely small shower door opens onto the toilet and the sink....stay away if you are tall or claustrophic...I would stay away evenvif you are not

Very small rooms. I don't mind trading off space for cost but beware that this is fairly extreme in terms of how small the rooms are.

Doors to the rooms make a lot of noise when opening and closing. My sleep was disturbed by others late to bed and then early to rise. Not suitable for light sleepers.

Otherwise this is a perfectly fine budget location.

Small double room suitable for 1 person, although didn't spend much time at the hotel. Breakfast offered a good selection of hot & cold food & drinks. Although the hotel encourages you to check in & out online or at screen in the hotel, it was much nicer to talk to the staff. Would have been nice to have a kettle in the room to make a hot drink after a long day out exploring Oslo. The hotel is a 20 minute walk from Oslo Central Station & a 5 minute walk to the royal palace.

Small and bad. Sheets unclean, had to make your own bed, only one towel for a two person booking, dirty walls, light flickering lights that needed changing, elevator and self check in did not work or had problems, not vey “smart” at all…good luck if your on the top floor, could be going up and down dropping other guests off before elevator isn’t in use/ needed….our room looked completely different to photos (box room) which is not “sound deadening”. Extremely hot hotel, heating on high! Price state was a variation bit of a con, twice the price we were expected after add ons , booking fees, breakfast. Could have something a lot nicer for the price! Ran down needs maintenance! Would not recommend!

Mini rooms are tight but perfect for a back packer, two suit cases not so much. Recommend you sign up through the SmartHotel website which gets you free breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Check out the rooms before you pay. Ours was a small room with a twin bed that supposedly fit two people. Impossible! We went down to check-in and asked for a bigger room. They said it was no problem and we changed to a bigger one with a double bed. So nice.

I originally booked the room because the reviews said it was clean and quiet, and it was also inexpensive. However, I felt uneasy with the cleanliness of the room and building. When I first walked into my room, it felt musky and grimey. I saw stains on surfaces, and the general upkeep was poor. The room also wasn't as quiet as the reviews had described. The technology in the room is also outdated, not allowing me to plug in a USB to the TV to play my own streaming services. The TV also wouldn't turn on. I decided to leave the room early and checked out the same day. The showers didn't have shampoo, conditioner, or body wash which would be the first I've seen a hotel lack those amenities. The bathroom floor felt grimey as well, deterring me from wanting to shower in it. The staff was very friendly, however, and the surrounding area is pleasant. It was also very easy to check into the room by myself. The price is also very affordable, but considering there are other hotels nearby for better quality and only a slight price difference I'd probably not revisit this one again.

Visiting Norway I was very excited, I paid for a for a double room. I wouldn’t be spending that much time in the room , but you need a decent place to rest your head. Am I right or am I right ?
When I spoke to the man at the desk about my booking. He didn’t say hi, he didn’t ask anything apart from my surname. He then gave me the key. I had to ask him what floor my room was . Maybe he was having a bad day, maybe his wife had asked him to book a table for dinner and he forget or maybe he was a Ferrari fan and my Red Bull cap offended him but he wasn’t friendly in the slightest.
I go up to my floor and enter my room and I nearly fainted as I saw my room 808. Lucky I held on to the door otherwise I may have fallen. The room was small. For the amount I paid, this wasn’t what I expected. Lucky I am slim, it’s all the 5k runs I do, otherwise walking in the room maybe have been a struggle.
I felt like I was in HMP Wandsworth in London. I then thought I put the tv on cheer myself up, watch some news, have you heard about Israel and Iran? Yeah let’s not talk about that. Anyhow I digress.
TV wasn’t switching on, I tried but it failed to switch on. Notice on wall said I could chrome cast, so I thought I would put on You Tube and play some Tupac, Changes. What a song that is?! Sorry I digress again.
It didn’t work either. I was gutted.
Bed was decent.
When I left the lady at desk gave me a thumbs up. So not all bad I suppose.

Locationwise, it was good, ten minutes from Oslo central area and everything seemed close. Breakfast was as advertised in the hotel website, particularly the parties. Everything is smart operated as advertised as well. However, I found the double room doesn't fit the description. It was really small that my husband and I could barely move around in the small box given to us. I did feel that we have been scammed into paying for a single room for a double room price. The room should have been booked with a disclaimer on how small it is so people, if they still go for it, would know what to expect.

In 2025 with the world warming places like Oslo need to realise that cooling is as important as heating. The room was small and clean (perfect for a one night stay), but the room was an actual blast furnace and impossible to sleep in. I asked for a fan (which in fairness they brought), but I this day and age if you don’t have AC at lease provide a ceiling fan or a portable fan in every room. Even with the fan it was so hot it was impossible to sleep. Towels are paper thin also, I get this isn’t a luxury hotel but get the basics right…..maybe I’m being harsh cause I’m writing this whilst bloody tired, but I wouldn’t come back without some changes.
