The location of the Citybox Oslo hotel is just perfect, it’s in the city centre, shops and restaurants, and steps away from the Oslo central train station. The room was small, but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Definitely recommend it.

We were two adults. Room was a little small And uncomfortable. But clean. Bed was good. Had to leave window open for air so pretty noisy overnight. Bathroom a nice size. Great location. Right in the heart of the city. A lot of amenities here especially for children. Used laundry equipment. Worked out well. Had a restaurant attached to it. unfortunately did not realize that and wished I could have gone there for a nice breakfast.

The location is super convenient. While the room is very basic and small, it is fine for the price. Our only complaint is the noise in the evenings from the nightclubs nearby. The rooms do not have air conditioning, but the club noise makes it too noisy to open windows to cool down the room.

8/10 Very good

Pretty easy self check-in at kiosk and luggage storage available via kiosk. There was a host available if you needed help. Building is large and connected to a couple of restaurants. No appliances in the room, no TV, no closet or dresser - only hanging rods. Room is a good size. The common area had disposable utensils and cups, water kettle, microwave, and refrigerator but no stove. Coffee machine was available but not free. Lots of working USB ports in the room. Centrally located, near tram and central station. Lots of restaurants, shops, and markets nearby. Many closed on Sundays.

6/10 Good

Booked a small double - room was ok, fairly spacious for what we had booked. Good bathroom, nice seat and desk area. Had no shelves, but did have hangers and hooks to hang things up. Bed was comfy, we were on top floor so the sloped roof over the bed made it hard to navigate the space We did find the room a little dusty, and by our last night had sore throats from being in the room but also didn’t flag this to staff at the time as it was late at night, so they may have been able to move us if we had flagged! There were some marks on the walls that looked like drips, we think from cleaning supplies! Both minor issues that we didn’t flag at the property as it wasn’t enough for us to want to move room. Property is in a great location, and not noisy at all considering the central location. Had a great kitchen area with coffee machine, and disposable cups/plates/cutlery.

4/10 Fair

I' ve never a bad review before - I have worked in hospitality and retail for many years so I know how tough it is. This hotel benefits from an excellent location in the centre of Oslo. I also observed some brilliant service by some of the employees to other guests in the 'Host Office' - but that's where the good stuff ends. Check in was a disaster. The self serve machines eventually recognised my booking from my phone number (it rejected my passport and email). The machine told me my room wasn't ready and to see a 'Host'. The lady who 'helped' me on the desk looked at me like something she had trod in and was stuck to her shoe when I explained what was happening on the machine. 'ID' she barked. After swiping my passport and huffing abit, she put my passport on desk with two key cards and barked '316'. And that was it. No explanation of where to go, no confirmation of stay length,nothing about facilities - just '316'! As for room 316, if you like bare walls, lots of external noise, broken temperature controls, no safe, nothing to drink out of, mouldy bathroom ceiling,leaking shower,broken shower fittings - you will love this room. I expected minimal budget accomodation when I booked to stay - but cheap isn't always cheerful! I have cancelled forthcoming Citybox stays elsewhere not because of the room, but because of the behaviour of that one person in the 'Host Office' . Such a shame.
