After all it was a good accommodation I can recommend and would book again
Pros:

Location, cleanliness, size of the room

Cons:

No power outlets around the bed or at all, only above the kitchen sink. The light above the mirror did not work bathroom was quiet dark. In the yard there is a Mexican restaurant which can be a bit noisy however I liked the live music from there.

Prosty, ale bardzo dobry hotel
Pros:

Hotel był w świetnej lokalizacji. Na tej samej ulicy są kawiarnia, piekarnia, 7-Eleven. Kawałek dalej znajduje się KIWI. Lokalizacja blisko przystanków autobusowych i tramwajowych; w pobliżu znajduje się Pałac Królewski. Sama dzielnica jest bardzo przyjemna i bezpieczna. W pobliżu są fajne restauracje. W hotelu jest sprawna winda. Wszystko odbywa się bez kontaktu z personelem: check-in przy maszynie lub online (u mnie nie działało). Jeśli chodzi o pokój (jednoosobowy), to był czysty, łóżko duże i w miarę wygodne, łazienka w porządku. Największy plus to mały aneks kuchenny w pokoju z mikrofalą i sztućcami. Świetnie sprawdził się bardzo wydajny grzejnik. Był także telewizor smart TV oraz Youtube. Co prawda ściany czy elementy wyposażenia były trochę zużyte, ale mój pokój był naprawdę czysty, co jest NAJWAŻNIEJSZE. Ogólnie jestem zadowolony z pobytu w tym miejscu i jeśli cena będzie na odpowiednim, nie wygórowanym poziomie, to tu wrócę.

Cons:

Z minusów to jedyne, o czym chcę wspomnieć, to pierwsze wejście do budynku. Skorzystałem z instrukcji, ale nie mogłem otworzyć drzwi. Dzwoniłem domofonem, ale drzwi się nie otwierały, mimo że miały być otwierane zdalnie. Na szczęście byłem tam koło 17:30 i akurat jeden z gości hotelowych wychodził z budynku, więc mogłem wejść. Dlatego też obawiałem się zostawiania bagażu w przechowywalni, bo martwiłem się, że nie uda mi się szybko wejść do budynku przed wylotem. Nie byłem jedyną osobą, która miała ten problem — rano jeden z nowych gości chciał dostać się do hotelu, aby zostawić bagaż przed zameldowaniem i dzwonek również nie otwierał drzwi.

Stay for two nights.
Pros:

No staff, all self serve, but excellent location, and a clean and comfortable room. value-wise it's right in the middle.

Cons:

Nothing really, maybe a tad expensive for one person in a double, but for a couple it's quite alright.

Heerlijk plekje, alles in de buurt, beetje last van de herrie in de straat maar met oordoppen goed te doen.
Pros:

Goede locatie, netjes, alles in de buurt. Fietsen aan de overkant en bakkerij onder het appartement. Keukentje heeft alles wat je nodig hebt.

Cons:

Veel geluid in de straat. Toen wij er waren was het super mooi weer. Je hoort alles van buiten. In de kamer is het wat warm dus de ramen wil je open. Er rijdt ook af en toe een tram langs. En een vet irritante Ferrari die graag heen en weer rijdt 🤪

Comfortable, but bring extension chords or power banks for your devices.
Pros:

Well appointed, more than what you'd need in terms of classic comforts - a well designed kitchenette, spacious bathroom, beautiful windows with views of a bustling part of Oslo. Mostly quiet.

Cons:

There were absolutely no outlets in places where you need them. When I reached out to the staff to see if they could help me by loaning me a extension chord, they took over 24 hours to respond that they needed another day to look into it. While the room is spacious, this really works against you when the only outlets close the bed are dozens of meters away across the eating area and by the mounted TV and kitchenette. Check-in and check-out are completely automated to the point of feeling austere and spooky, especially late at night. On the flip side, the lively bars and restaurants around the hotel keep the noise outside going pretty late if you're sensitive to noise.

Room spacious but way too hot and tech issues must be fixed. Good location and decent rate.
Pros:

Love the location. Very convenient. Plus, having a bathtub (although bath flooded due to clogged pipes).

Cons:

Check-in machine not working upon arrival. Having to wait for night shift person to physically hand over keys. Bathroom flooded after using bathtub due to clogged pipes. Room was spacious but absolutely suffocatingly hot due to being a top floor slanted room with only a TINY window. Being forced to keep the window open, being kept awake by people drinking and hollering until 3 am.

Pros:

The location and design of the rooms/apts are excellent. Things are easy enough on the check in. I never saw staff, so couldn't say.

Cons:

The chairs were awful... At least 5 years past their best. Made it difficult to relax in the room because it was physically uncomfortable to sit in them.

Pros:

Rommet er stort, fint og rent. Nydelig beliggenhet.

Cons:

Varmekablene på badet varmer opp hele rommet og badet blir ekstremt varmt.
Det er ikke ventilasjon, så luften i rommet blir ganske tung. Ikke så enkelt å få luftet dessverre.
