Hotels near Majorstua, Oslo

The hotel was in the city center and really convinient. Unfortunately I changed my room twice because of some issues (Heater didn't work. Wifi is gone.) and it was a bit stressful but a reception staff tried to give me some alternatives very kindly. Maintainance of facilities can be better.

Hotel location is very good, very close to the palace, 2 minutes walk. Our family of four is a family room, a door to enter, two separate rooms, each with two single beds. One of the rooms is equipped with a small kitchen. The small supermarket Rema 1000 is downstairs, very convenient. Free coffee, hot water, chocolate, microwave in the public area of the hotel, which is great. There are kitchenware plates at the front desk that can be used when cooking. The only bad thing is that the bath water is unstable, hot and cold, and the bath space is small.

For our stay, we booked a studio apartment at The Sweet. The room was lovely and kitchenette was well-equipped. We were able to cook meals there over the days of Christmas when most restaurants and shops were closed. The location is a little outside of the center- nice and quiet but easy to access public transit. My biggest issue with this hotel was that communication was very… odd. As the booking notes, I called the hotel in advance to schedule my check-in. When my call was answered, I told them who I was and that I was calling to schedule my check in (for a time when the booking said check in is available). I was told no one would be at reception at that time (3pm on Dec 23) and they would text me instructions for how to check myself in. Then she confirmed my phone number and asked for my email address, but when I started to give it, she said, “oh, that’s ok. We can’t use email anyway”. Odd. Before getting off the phone, I had her confirm that I would receive a text the next day with instructions to check in. Our train arrived around 2pm in Oslo and we still hadn’t received a text, so we waited at the train station thinking perhaps they would send the text right at 3pm since that was the time I had requested. At 3, I still hadn’t received anything, so we called the hotel again. A different employee answered from the one I had spoken to the day before. I gave my name and explained that I was calling because I had scheduled check in the day before but hadn’t received the information to check in. The employee asked where I was and told me that there were people staffing reception to help us check in, which I thought was odd because the previous employee told me no one would be there. When we got to the hotel, we rang the bell and got into the building, but reception is apparently in the basement- there is only a very tiny sign that says this- so we missed it and I called them again. A man came up with our keys and got us set to go. We got into our room and it was lovely! About 5 hours later, I got a call from Trip saying that the hotel is trying to contact me because they are wondering why I hadn’t checked in and they don’t have a way to get in touch with me. I was sitting in the hotel room when I got this call. I told the Trip representative that I was checked in and it was fine for her to give my phone and email to the hotel. I know the communication elements have taken up a huge portion of my review and I know they are not the end of the world, but I want to share them because I believe it would be quite simple to avoid situations like this in the future and make the guest experience that much more pleasant at The Sweet. We greatly enjoyed our stay at the hotel overall and thoroughly enjoyed exploring Oslo!

Great location. The breakfast buffet had a big variety of food and I really enjoyed it. The lounge was cozy and staff was really nice. However, the room is not worth the price I paid for. The room is small with the sink and mirror facing the bed. It is impractical to have the sink in the main room, and to have the mirror facing the bed, which has bad spritual meaning. Toothbrushes are not included, and there is no hair conditioner. There is also no air conditioning, but it is okay since Oslo is a cold city. There are several bugs in the corner of the room, and stains could be seen everywhere. The shower is insanely small, which is not friendly for people with bigger body types. There is also no physical lock in the door of the rooms. Overall, everything about the hotel is nice except the room.

The room is very clean and has hot water boiler. Hot shower is very good. There is a self check-in machine at the reception. My room at the street side and found noisy from the Train, but I like to listen music during the sleep, there is not a problem to me.

Great for Practical Travellers Citybox Oslo is a great choice for travellers who value convenience and efficiency. The hotel is located very close to the central station, making it easy to access, and having a tram stop right outside is a big plus. The automated check-in system was quick and hassle-free. Even though it is self-service, staff are available and ready to help if needed. The free luggage storage area is also very useful and feels safe. Overall, a practical and well-managed hotel for a short stay.

The hotel is very comfortable Location is also close to the city center Good sanitary conditions The only thing is that the check-in time is a bit late (after 3 pm) The interior of the room is very relaxing and comfortable

The kitchen facilities in the room were a bit tricky to use, but the clean lady who tidied our room was very helpful. The room isn't huge, but it has everything you need, including a balcony. The bathroom is a tad on the small side. My only minor concern was the area outside the hotel, which seemed to have a lot of immigrants, making me feel a tiny bit uneasy about safety.

The accommodation was excellent. The beds were clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was spotless. The front desk staff were responsible and helpful, even assisting with train information. The atmosphere was great too. It offers excellent value for money and is the cleanest and best hostel I've ever stayed in.

Delicious meal. Comfortable beds although the room becames too small if you need an additional bed. Very small bathroom, specially for tall people.
