Podría ser mejor por el precio. Estafado con el tema del desayuno incluido en mi caso.
Pros:

Muy céntrico y cerca de Oslo S, de La Opera, de Akker Brygge, del palacio real,...

Cons:

Seleccioné una habitación más cara en Booking porque incluía desayuno con la reserva y al llegar al hotel me dijeron que no lo incluía. Con lo cual debía pagar nuevamente por una opción que debería estar paga.

La habitación era cómoda pero extremadamente pequeña.
La mampara de la ducha dejaba muchos huecos con lo cual el suelo del baño acababa completamente mojado. (Fallo de diseño de la mampara, no mal estado de la misma).
Hacía demasiado calor en la habitación y tuve que dormir con la ventana abierta, al ser tan céntrico, por la noche había mucho ruido.
