Nice hostel. We were expecting worse after reading some other reviews. Took a while to check in, but the room was really nice and very clean. Rooms were warm and beds were comfy. Would stay here again

The hostel is very close to the railway station and a good walking distance from downtown and the more fancy area of Oslo, just accross the river nearby. Rooms are warm, not very clean, but OK. Staff is efficient, but not very nice, this is probably true for the majority of the Norwegians we met... more The hostel is very close to the railway station and a good walking distance from downtown and the more fancy area of Oslo, just accross the river nearby.

When you get in the reception, it's sounds a very good hostel but, when you arrive in the rooms, they are old and not clean. The guests were strange, not backpackers like me and my friends, and they were weird. It's in the city center, so, it's ok to stay, because Oslo doesn't have too many options.

Yeah, not a bad hostel at all. My 4 bed dorm was spacious and clean which is all anyone could ask for. It could use more communal space though, there's only the (large) reception area which closes at 11pm. A kitchen would have been good, as you have to cook in the dorm. But all in all, a good...

The location ids good, i think that´s all I can say in a good way of this hostel. The staff isn´t that helpful and nice, my room was really dirty, and my friend´s bed was a couch, which someone was made as his wardrobe. I don´t recomend definitely.

The only bad think is that you must extra pay for almost everything , for example: - sheets - extra 50 k, if u wanna cook you mustgive them 100 k deposit for staff, internet - 20 k for 10 minutes. But rooms are big and clean, the same with bathroom. Location of hostel...

Very cold in room on arrival, had to switchto rooms, and was told to do so by a staff member coming into my room whilst I was showering, having to do this at said time made me late for meeting up with beautiful local girl. Not very friendly staff.

Given how expensive Oslo is the hostel was probably value for money. Big let down was the lack of social areas. Just a bench and one over-priced internet PC. The area was actually ok with some cool bars around if you want to get out and find them. I'd be hard pushed to recommend this place but... more Given how expensive Oslo is the hostel was probably value for money. Big let down was the lack of social areas.

I liked the hostel, nice rooms, clean and big enough. The beds were good. Only the kitchen equipment wasn't complete, we missed a cup to drink out and a towel to do the dishes.

Impressed with it all. If I was being picky I would say that the halls leading to the rooms and the lift could do with a lick of paint but our room itself was great.

We were a group of seven people and stayed on a 6 beds bedroom with an extra bed... The bedroom was really big and everyone was confortable... The only problem was the bathroom, the shower had just a curtain so when one would take a shower the whole bathroom would get wet.. I'd stay there again

Large and institutional, but with fairly small quiet dorms, and it is secure. Pretty good location - some places advertise being close to the station, but near the station is a seedy area, better to be further away. Can be quite a queue at the reception as everyone without accomodation booked...

This hostel had really good staff but there were many other problems. Unfortunately this hostel is open to immigrants trying to make it in Oslo and is used as a place to make ends meet. If there was a time limit as to how long you could stay, it would be nicer. They should try to make internet...
