Comfort Hotel® Xpress Youngstorget

Good location, easy to check-in without the need to speak to reception staff. Reception, bar, cafe was may be a bit cluttered and can cause a jam if many people looking for service. Otherwise, friendly and accomodating staff.

Booked a room for bonus points and this was the only hotel in Oslo I could get for my points. The first impression was pretty good with a friendly receptionist. But the room itself was a great disappointment with a crack in the floor (not very hygienic) and hair in the shower. The room was very small for two people and since the bathroom door was made of glass (not sound proof) you can't be very shy. Also, breakfast was not included. This hotel is not suitable for a romantic getaway. It might work if you are alone on a business trip and just need a bed for a night.

Myself and a friend stayed here recently whilst in Oslo to explore the city over 2 days. The hotel itself was clean and tidy with a fantastic shower (powerful, hot & spacious) important for two women. The single beds were comfy and the room was fairly big also. We would advise having a room on the higher floors as the hotel can be noisy and is popular with party goers although we slept well it was noisy upon going to sleep. The hotel doesn't offer breakfast so you must have it out but that suited us with only 2 days to explore. Location wise we thought the hotel was well situated roughly a 10 minute walk to the main train and tube station as well as the opera house and then the same again to the harbour and new area. All in all we thought it was a great base and value for money.

No air-conditioner in summer Only clean the room every 4 days Hot reception No one received room call Cannot open windows Long wait for check out Very soft bed Small room It cannot be classified as hotel

The hotel is nicely located in Oslo city centre, close to most of the attractions and not far from the train station (Oslo S) which offers swift transportation to and from the airport. The hotel has an amazing rooftop with great views of the city which is available to all guests between 6 am and 11 pm (May 2018). We enjoyed our breakfast here each morning (you buy this from a small selection in the barception). The rooms are moderately sized with the bare essentials. The pillows were in my opinion really bad and added no support to the neck. Whilst I was in Oslo the weather was unusually amazing with record high temperatures. And believe it or not here's where the cons come in. The rooms don't have air condition and it got really, really hot and uncomfortable throughout the night. I almost didn't sleep at all due to the high temperature in the room. It was very uncomfortable and frustrating. Other facts and tips which applied during our stay in May 2018: Self-service check-in and check-out which didn't work at all during our stay. The staff had to step in and check people in and out manually which led to some queues. The hotel is cashless and accepts only card payment. The rooms are only cleaned every 4th day, so don't throw your towels on the bathroom floor the second day like I did. Any additional towels cost you money. There is no breakfast buffet, but there is a simple variety of breakfast options in the barception. If the weather allows it, you should enjoy this on the rooftop. Conclusion: The hotel has many positive sides, the location and wonderful rooftop being the most prominent, but I had such a bad experience due to the heat in the room that I'm not sure that I'd stay here again.
