Convenient self service hotel in downtown Oslo
Convenient downtown hotel in Oslo, self service check in and check out, Lounge areas downstairs with places to sit and eat meals. Basic but all functioning well. Plenty of cafes and shops around to get breakfast and other meals.

Perfect location !
All was great .. our room had an issue with the window not opening (there is no air conditioning ) so I requested to be moved, however they gave us a tough time because the hotel was fully booked. However after all the complaining and contacting management we were finally moved . I will stay here again. Near Tran station and shops.

Great for the price, amazing location.
15 seconds to check in at a kiosk, and no useless request to show a passport. Still, I think a human staff person nearby is warranted.
Nice room and bed but note there are no cups nor glasses provided, to drink from.
At least there is a hair dryer in the bathroom.

Basic, clean close to Oslo S hotel could be noisy7
It is a basic clean hotel. The concept is efficiently operated. 24/7 in house staff to address the needs. The location to Oslo s is only a mere 3min walk.
Citybox oslo is kind enough to change my room facing noisy trams line. Subsequently, my room was facing void courtyard where i could hear chinese couple quarrel.at 4am, loud hp music, talkg till late at night from nearby windows and also my opp room.
Depending on your luck, it could be pleasant. Pantry is available at ground floor.

Disappointed This Time Around
Had been at Oslo and Bergen CityBox before and loved it. This time, my room was so small I could only actually stand up in half the room, room 613, right under the room by the eaves. Sadly, I am not kidding. Getting in the shower was not easy either. I understand the "box" concept and love it, but room 613 should NOT be a room but a broom closet!

Good price and good location
We had trouble with check-in since we booked through hotels.com, but someone in the lobby let us in, and showed us the office which is behind the main door, in a weird spot. The office helped us check in early (we had planned to just leave our bags, but the room was ready). We booked a Private bathroom, and i loved the bathroom! It was quaint. The floor in the room was stained, and had a weird texture that i imagine is hard to clean, but we had brought slippers. Great price and great location though so worth it in my book

Basic and dirty
The concept of this hotel is smart. However it would not accept any of our credit cards at the check in kiosk (3 of us). Ultimately it let us use one of my moms. The room was fithly. Surface was cleaned but walls crevices and bathroom were not clean. We cleaned it ourselves. Lobby was also dirty with over flowing garbages. Beds and línens were quite nice. Price was good but expect CLEAN. Area is sketchy near train station. Overall I would never stay there again.

Hotelli oli mukava ja yhteiset tilat olivat monipuoliset ja viihtyisät. Huone itsessään oli kuitenkin kirjaimellisesti pieni koppi, kadulta kuului raitiovaunun jylinä todella kovaa ja palohälytys klo: 5:00 aamulla eivät auttaneet minua nukkumaan.
