This Nordic Choice hotel occupies a prime location directly above Oslo's central station, making it maximally convenient for train travel and maximally exposed to urban grit. The design aims for hip budget hotel with colorful accents and open social spaces, though execution is more IKEA catalog than design statement. Evening buffet dinner is included in rates, which provides substantial value even if the food quality is cafeteria-grade. It's functional and affordable with a location that cannot be beat.

Insider Intel
Rooms are standard across this chain—small, functional, clean. The included evening meal saves money and effort if you're not eating out. Breakfast is also included and features the usual Scandinavian spread. Corner rooms have slightly more space. The top floors have less train station noise.
Central location and budget pricing make this consistently popular—book well ahead. Weekend rates sometimes drop slightly. The dinner buffet hours are limited, so time your arrival accordingly. Summer books fastest with tourists maximizing the convenient location.
Rooms start around 1000 NOK with both breakfast and dinner included, which is solid value. The central station location means noise and urban grit—this is not for light sleepers or those seeking tranquility. Service is minimal Nordic Choice efficiency. The social spaces try to create community but mostly attract solo travelers on laptops. This works if you prioritize location and value over experience and atmosphere.
