Room door was opened upon check in with mop sleeve on the hallway carpet. No change of room offered. Room was dirty and dusty upon entry. Door was unable to be unlocked and opened when returning to room. No accomodations were provided to us.

The hotel is very well located with access to transit less than a 10 minute walk. The room was comfortable with a few quirks, including the mini-fridge being well, super mini. It was difficult to hold anything except the smallest items. The breakfast was great, albeit sometimes a bid crowded. I would consider staying here again if I found myself back in Oslo.
