Östersjön Tours and Activities

Very convenient location in central Oslo. Absence of any staff also means you have to be very vigilant when you punch in the code to enter the building. A suspicious young man snuck in right behind us when we entered. Was clearly not a guest as he quickly exited a side exit and prowled the adjacent alleyway for several minutes. We informed management online only to be told not to worry since the adjacent building was being painted. The young man we saw enter was clearly not there to paint.

Hotel is centrally located. 4 Staff at front desk are helpful. 4 Buffet breakfast is a nice option considering how expensive the city is. 5 Rooms are quite small and bed sizes are also small. We booked a family room for four and it was a tight squeeze. Two twin beds and a sofa bed. I was under the impression it would be at least a queen bed. 3 Also being that it is a central location, rooms facing the station are quite nosy at night. 2 This is important since the window needs to be opened for cooling the room.

The vibe is fun and funky. A great place for younger folks. We are not young… With no access to the far side of the bed (because it’s in an alcove) I had to crawl over my partner every time I got in and out of bed. Ugh. Also no mini fridge so couldn’t keep yummy food in take out container cold. A small selection of beverages and snacks (as other hotel rooms provide) would have been nice.
