Great location! Beds were comfortable but room was super small for 2 people. It was fine for the 2 nights we stayed but would have been a huge burden staying any longer. The lounge area on the main floor is nice with games and seating. The breakfast next door was phenominal!

Convenient

Stayed in a junior suite this time (last time we stayed in a small double room which was very stuffy) much more room, we could open the windows and had a veiw of the street. The suite had smart television and as with all hotel rooms it seems you have to already subscribe to streaming channels which is difficult when visiting from another country, we also had a small fridge, a kettle, an expresso machine but only 2 pods for 4 nights, a couple of tea bags but no cups. We also used the laudry room and unfortunately 2 out of the 3 washing machines were out of order.The hosts were very helpfull and the communal area was kept clean & tidy and could be very busy. Very convenient for the Oslo central train station, shops, restaurants and sights.

Modern city centre hotel Oslo

Revamped modern hotel in the centre of Oslo Good central position. Good comfortable bed. Good WiFi. Nice Bathroom. Good for sleeping. Hotel good but basic (by Norwegian standards a budget hotel). No kettle in the room- a kitchen for communal use. No TV able to use WiFi. No glasses or cups in the room - however paper cups provided in the communal kitchen. (No water provided). Although basic Citybox did provide an okay stay.
Moira, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This is definitely a no-frills place to sleep. Rooms are tiny and spartan and offer no amenities (not even a water glass for the bathroom). If all you need is a place to crash while in transit through the city, then this would be a good option. Personally, not a fan.

They have a kitchen area with a refrigerator and microwave so if you have a family with small kids your a large family you can put your label food in fridge Also theres a cafe connected to the hotel that has really good food. Note: if you order a black coffee you get free refill!

Bare Essentials But Cheap For Oslo

City Box is a basic hotel but it's clean and central to Oslo. Some of the fixtures and fittings could use an upgrade, the bed/mattress was a bit basic and creaky and the shower head could have been better, but if you're only resting your head then that's not a huge deal. You check in with a code (that I didn't have because my email service was being slow), but there are helpful staff on hand if you need help. And all the staff I saw were polite and friendly. The hotel has a partnership with a few nearby eateries and you can get money off breakfast or dinner, though I didn't use any of them. At first glance they still looked a little pricier than I, as a cheap backpacker, wanted to pay. Maybe I should have looked harder as I did find food prices in Oslo to be high anyway. The hotel is extremely central in Oslo - 5 minutes walk to the train station - and there are many choices of shopping, eating or visitor attractions close by. It is a hotel I will look to use again if I return to Oslo.
C A, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Listed as with AC by Expedia but had none. The balcony room was tiny and the door to the balcony could not be locked, so someone next door could easily enter. The room was hot with minimal ventilation. The tech said it was working normally. Directions to operate the bathroom heater by the staff member was inaccurate so I roasted even more until the tech corrected the misinformation. Finally I was given a fan. Felt like I was in a third world country! Supplies in the room were spartan. Not even a glass. The Citybox bistro was good and location was good, but I won't be going back. I pay for sleep and comfort and was disappointed on both counts.
