Norway Ski Holidays

Good breakfast buffet included in the room price. Excellent location close to museums and the king’s palace. However we could never cool off our room. We were there 8/31 and turned on the a/c. On 9/1, the system switched to heat. Took us a while to figure out how to change the mode since the instructions were in Norwegian. Even then, the blackout curtains were between the hvac system and the room. All of the cool air was directed towards the windows behind the curtains. We never cooled off the room. Warm, sleepless nights. And, I misunderstood when and what housekeeping would do to our room. I interpreted that we would get no housekeeping until after the second night. I did not lock up my valuables. $250 was stolen from my room. Very disappointed. I filed a claim with the hotel but don’t expect to get my money back.

Very good location. Easy check in and out. Nice and big apartment. Very clean. Groceries and restaurants very close.

The view overlooking Oslo is breathtaking. The hotel rooms are NOT made for couples. The rooms are ridiculously small. The toilets were so uncomfortable because the sink was literally in your lap. Lifting suitcases up and down three flights of stairs was not fun, since there isn’t an elevator on the property.
