Comfort Hotel® Xpress Youngstorget

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.

I stayed for two nights in this hotel. Compare to previous times it seems the management improved the services. The relax/breakfast room was much more clean and organized than before. My room, too, was bigger, cleaner and well furnished. It was on 9th floor just in front the terrace. Overall a nice staying.

My son booked me in to this hotel for 8 nights. Very clean with helpful staff, comfy bed and good shower room with plenty hot water though shower was rather fierce. Also very pleased with the security. As I am at the top of the age range, I was concerned about noise from younger guests but wasn't disturbed at all. I was on top floor and it was very quiet. Disappointed roof terrace taken over by smokers though. Was surprised after cleaning on 4th day that I had been given clean bedding. Breakfast available was sufficient for me. Couple of issues for me were, (one) the room door, it being a fire door, and was extremely heavy and (two) insufficient hanging space for your clothes and a drawer would have been useful for small items of clothing
