10 Jun 2013 Grace, Canada
Wifi didn't work in the rooms and connecting to the internet was difficult. You'd have to enter the password a few times before it would go through. Brkfst was awesome - I love brunost. Kitchen was well equip even for people like me that can't cook. I survived on salads for dinner and had hilarious comments from other guest. Pretty good vibe. Had a bit of a hard time finding the place but the Norwegians I met on the road were very helpful

The hostel it is friendly, welcoming & well equipped, but not easy to find first time. The bus service from the city centre is regular and convenient but you get off the bus stop on a dual carriageway by a flyover, with no clue as to where to go next. A bit more information on the website or booking confirmation would be helpful, or even a direction sign from the bus stop. Once you've found your way back down the road a bit and under the flyover there are signs the rest of the way, but that first step isn't clear at all.

Good hostel, a bit away from the city center, but easy to reach by tram, T-Bane or bus (15 minutes). I would'nt recommand to get there by foot, but well, if you have some time... I was in a 4-beds room, which was clean. Some showers are okay, some doesn't work well, but it deliver the water you need to wash you... The breakfast is a buffet and is included in the price. It is fine and varied.

Good kitchen, but the stay is extremely expensive for what you got. We asked a double room and what we've got was a room with two bunk beds (my husband and I had to sleep separately). Staff not willing to really give informations (only doing the basic). Room was never cleaned during our stay (3 nights).

No need to worry about the location. Tram and Metro are just a 5 min walk away. The hostel is perched on a hill so has a nice view of Oslo. There are a few football pitches at the bottom of the hill. Breakfast varied & plentiful (included in price!). Excellent wifi reception in TV room (no wifi in dorms).

Nicely furnished hostel at a reasonable price. It's quite a distance away from city center though.
