Comfort Hotel® Xpress Central Station

I stayed at the hotel for two nights. The hotel is modern, new and impersonal - you do the check-in and check-out on a screen inside the entrance, and no-one cleans your room during the day. As they clearly save money on very few employees, I guess the hotel should be even cheaper, but it is an acceptable hotel for a short stay. Plus for a good chair in the room.

Hotel quite modern and with a minimalistic approach. Positioned right in city centre so well placed for those who do not want to do more than sleep there! Comfortable rooms, well equipped! Automated check out system! Efficient! Perhaps just a little Spartan! Not impressed by the lack of a proper hotel breakfast.

The Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station is located very close to the central train station in downtown Oslo. Just walk out the front door of the station and turn left on the first street you see. The hotel is about a block down the street. It is also very close to the Karl Johans Gate pedestrian only street with tons of restaurants. This is a clean, no frills hotel that does not give you new towels or a free breakfast. I stayed here for one night with my wife on a Friday in mid-May and enjoyed the stay. We wanted to stay close to the train station as we were in Oslo for a short visit and did not want to spend any time getting to and from the train station. The hotels convenient location near the train station and a tram station is the best part of this hotel. Our third-floor room was smaller but had a nice balcony (with a view of the parking garage across the street). The automatic check in process did not work for me, so I checked in the old fashion way. The front desk people were very friendly and helpful. Overall, I enjoyed staying at this convenient budget hotel and recommend it (especially if you are on a budget and want to stay near the train station.) I especially loved the $125 room rate and did not mind not getting a free breakfast (we walked down the street and had a low budget McDonalds breakfast). This hotel works well for a one night stay as you don’t need more than 1 towel for that short stay. I think you can pay extra for clean towels if you are there for multiple nights. I would stay here again on a future trip to Oslo.

This hotel came recommended to us through my work. The only good thing about this hotel was its location and the staff. They try to pull it off as all these "green" decisions, like no housekeeping (only after 4 days stay), horrible lighting - can't see anything, no clean towels or toiletries, no fridge, weak beds, one pillow each and they are the very cheap ones.... and the room wasn't cheap. $300/night! Norway is expensive and this hotel is a reflection of this. No coffee in your room, no ice machines or buckets....

This hotel was very nice but the best thing was how convenient it was. It is right in the Oslo Central Station and in the perfect location to use the bus system or walk just about any where in Oslo city center.
