Hotel berhampiran Skullerudåsen, Oslo

I have stayed at this hotel many times as it is located close to my family when I visit Norway. Another important issue for me has been the free parking outside, but now this has come to an end.. A private parking company has bought the area outside, and there are just a few small signs that indicate so.. This has been the ”carrot” for me, but this time, and when seeing all the cars that had received a parkingfine - it:s enough for me. I will not stay there anymore with this kind of unfriendly welcome harassment! A hotel should take care of their guest - not leave them with stupid and high parking fines..The location of the hotel is outside the border of Oslo, and no one benefits of parking there.. Besides from this - the breakfast is good, but the rooms are very small. You will have a problem to fit an average sized suitcase in the room. The personel working there are very nice though :-) and there is also a well fitted gym in the basement.

My understanding, and that of a couple who shared the apartment with me was that we would each have a private room in a hostel. This isn't a hostel at all, the budget option is actually an apartment share which we were only informed of when we arrived. Firstly, I will say the bed was really confortable with nice linen and the space for my possessions in my room was good, a nice large mirror too. The kitchen was ill-equiped, the door on the fridge only sealed if I placed a chair against it, and the utensils and knives and forks etc were not adequate if the place was full. Could have done with being re-decorated as rather tatty. The bedrooms have windows into the main living areas, but not to the outside, so fresh air was limited, and with flimsy curtains over those bedroom windows there was less privacy than was optimum, particularly when sharing with strangers. The doors to our rooms were extremely squeaky. Three bedrooms share the kitchen/living area and bathroom, so up to six people which should be manageable but IT IS NOT A HOSTEL. There was no information at all concerning local amenities, and no cloths etc for keeping the communal area clean. I requested and received dish soap from reception and was given a towel instead of a cloth to keep the kitchen clean. No hand soap was provided as the dispensers in the kitchen and bathroom were empty, something that should never happen at the present time. Whether you share or rent self-contained accommodation for your own party greater attention to detail would greatly improve things.

Overall the environment is cozy enough but there’s some issues like the room had not be cleaned properly and there few items within the room is broken

Went for a concert- hotel was clean beds were comfortable and shower was hot breakfast was awesome the tv in room didn’t connect though the only down side. I would definitely stay again

There are several Comfort brands in the 5km radius. I walked into ”Backpacker” one, at midnight, instead of the Xpress but was promptly directed to the right location. Luckily the staff at both locations were lovely and helpful! My check in was smooth and the room was outstanding! It was really quiet given the location is a stone throw away from the Oslo Sentrum station! I walked everywhere (as needed to burn off the insane amount of pastries consumed on this trip) and enjoyed the Old Town, harbour and the University Quarter too. Oslo is beautiful but it requires you to pay attention to the details of the lines and light, and how they interact with the cityscapes. Don't miss the Deichman Library, which is opposite to the new Opera (there is an older one closer to the Royal Palace).

There is a huge wall in the middle of the room which is blocking the view, at night there is constant humming from the AC / machine which is causing me awake at 3 in the morning and the mattress is way so soft that it didn't really support my back.

Nice place and nice room however, bed sheets and pillow cases could’ve been put on already before we arrived there rather than we having to do it ourselves and could have been better with soap In the bathroom. Otherwise amazing for the price!

The room is clean modern design and spacious. The personell er friendly and helpful from the reception, housekeeper and during breakfast. The breakfast looks and tastes good with good choice of food, the personell er accomodating, they fills up the food even when it is almost end of serving time, somebody is going around and serving coffee, cleaning right away after customers så the place is clean even if it’s full of people. Very satisfied. The price is great compares to other hotel in Oslo. We will surely come back and will recommend to friends.

Location is fantastic. It's very near to the train station once you familiar with the travel. The hotel is very close to the famous boutiques like LV, Chanel and Hermes. Just that the facilities are very limited due to this is a very small hotel. Front desk is very helpful for late check in and early check out.
