Comfort Hotel® Xpress Youngstorget

We stayed here for one night in March. We chose the hotel because it was in a useful location - not too far from the station and half the distance to a venue where we were going to see a show. When we checked in we were assigned room 913 which is next to the lift and very noisy! They quickly moved us to a new room which was much quieter. The room had very comfortable beds and duvets. We didn't want to get up in the morning! The room had good blackout curtains. We had some issues trying to get the room to warm-up. We did have to pay for tea and coffee downstairs in reception.

I would describe the hotel as a perfect "no frills" hotel. The location is very good, a short 10-15 minute walk from Oslo Central station. Check in on the tablet in reception was easy to use. The room was basic, but for a business trip it was perfectly adequate - my only issue was there was waste that had not been removed from the rubbish bin. The mattress was not the most comfortable but was fine for a short stay. I would have preferred a choice of pillow too. My room (612) was quite near the lift shaft, which was noisy although I did have some ear plugs I could use. The rooftop terrace is great for views of the city.

It's a ok hotel. You know what you get, not much, just what you need. A shower, bed and table. But the price reflects the standard and I use it often when in Oslo because I''m at work and dont need more. It's also very central. Walking distance to everything. Clean. Non plastic. No breakfast, but you might buy som fastfood in the reception all day. So for me this is the perfect budget hotel in Oslo

The people behind Choice Hotels have really understood what it means to run good hotels. This one in particular is one of their xpress hotels, the cheapest option in their range, but you are never left unhappy after a stay here. The rooms are all very nice with comfortable beds and fancy bathrooms. Always super clean! I love the barception concept with a bar serving as a reception. The staff are super nice, especially Asif, who actually won employee of the year, very well-deserved indeed! There are laundry facilities downstairs, along with a chill out lounge with sofas and a tv. You can heat your food there as well and there are plates & cutlery you can use. There is also a big fridge which is very convenient! Although the hotel is smack in the middle of downtown Oslo it is pretty much sound proof and quiet at night. There is a lovely rooftop terrace with great view of Oslo! This is definitly my favorite low cost hotel in Oslo! You can get Oslo's best pizza at Hell's Kitchen right across the street or yummy thai food at Ricebowl nearby. You'll find Oslo Street Food Only a few hundreds meter away with tons of food stalls & always a good vibe - definitly worth a visit or 3!

Location is the best thing about this. Check-in was self-serve at a small terminal that also creates your room key. Without staff, check-in is impersonal. Only one of two lifts worked during our stay, and it was very persnickety about keying for the designated floor with multiple guests in the small lift. Seems every time we (or someone else) used the lift it would skip our floor in favor of the other party. Our room was small, barebones, and very dimly lit. The bed was relatively comfortable but was placed too close to the wall, making it difficult for a second person to enter the bed from the other side. The bed was comfortable enough and had all non-feather bedding, which is great for allergy sufferers. Unfortunately, there were no power outlets whatsoever near the bed--terrible for those needing to charge phones and devices at bedside! A simple power hub on the shelf above the bed would resolve this issue. The room had no minifridge and no coffeemaker. The bathroom was a good size and well-lit, but there was little counter space. The shower (only) had some mold in the tile grout; housekeeping needs to give that a good scrubbing. The shower water pressure was great and the hot water stayed hot. There was a wall-mounted hairdryer. The free WiFi was strong but was not password protected (boo!). Though the location was good, I'd be inclined to look elsewhere the next time I'm in the area.
