Liked: Very friendly and helpful staff - also good looking Norwegian men!! The dorms were very comfortable and the facilities were great. Also very close to town which was handy.

Disliked: The atmosphere wasn't great but I feel that was because I stayed during the winter.

Liked: The lobby area.

Disliked: Would have been better if the beds were numbered, that way people would know exactly where they're sleeping, instead of the misunderstanding I had where my stuff was moved twice by other people in the room.

Liked: The location is good, u can take tram at the train station, then arrived within few mins. Staff was helpful and nice.

Disliked: U need to borrow cooking equipment and return back within 3 hours. There was sometimes noise from other rooms, I clearly heard and could not sleep earlier, let’s say 10:00pm. Paid 50Nok for bed linen.

Liked: A kitchenette in the room is a great idea, as cooking is much more cheaper than eating in any restaurant. Free wifi was also very helpful although only reachable in the lobby room.

Disliked: Too expensive for the value, there is no soap/shampoo in the bathroom and you have to rent bed linen or bring your own one. Though, still the cheapest hostel in whole city of Oslo.

Liked: Kitchenette in the dorms was very useful. Location walking distance from main train station.

Disliked: Although location is central it appears to be in a higher crime/immigrant neighbourhood. I didn't feel in danger, but was on alert just in case. At the hostel there were no communal computers for those that didn't have their own.
