Comfort Hotel® Xpress Youngstorget

Surprised to find a hotel like this in Norway. The reception staff were friendly on both check in and check out BUT the hotel itself is poor. They only clean the rooms every 4th day during your stay, so not even the rubbish bin is emptied, towels are not changed and the bathroom not cleaned. I also noticed that bags of rubbish in the corridor remained there the whole day, another sign that the corridors were also not being cleaned. The hotel appears dated and a little worn, needs much better lighting and also smartening up. Not many TV channels either, so no Nat Geo, BBC or Discovery. No separate shampoo i the bathroom. But the main issue is that the rooms are only cleaned every 4th day during your stay. Add to that the lack of a proper restaurant, the worn appearance of the hotel and the poor cleaning of public areas then it would be hard to recommend the hotel.

I came to the hotel expecting something on par with a Ibis, however the hotel had more of a hostel vibe. Check-in is strictly from 3pm (don’t expect them to check if your room is ready when you arrive at 2:45), the rooms are functional and the whole place feels a bit unloved. Not bad for a night or two if you just want to rest your head. If staying during the week beware of the construction occurring out the front.

Beautiful, clean and large room with large bathroom. Short way from OsloS and Karl Johans gate. Sleep so well in a good and soft bed. The neighboring building was being rebuilt, so the hotel was a bit of building dust and workers in the corridors

Great location off Youngstorget and for 50 pounds 600 NOK a night - good value for central Oslo. Keep off the coffee. It’s so crap you could kill weeds with it for sure!!!! Very good way of exploring vibrant East Norway and trendy Grünerløkka. Lots of building work going on next door - supposedly from 11am Untrue. It starts at about 6am Also if you have a room at the end of a corridor it will back onto a very busy very noisy road tunnel. Make sure when you book you ask for a room on a LOW floor and CLOSEST to reception. Staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable If you email them you get a very quick reply. I was a solo traveler Most disappointing thing about the hotel is the bathroom.Tiny shower where the water floods the whole bathroom as it isn’t sloped for drainage. How anyone is supposed to sit on the toilet whose bowl is 4 inches from a wall is beyond me. Good luck to anyone with that!!!!

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.
