Locationwise, it was good, ten minutes from Oslo central area and everything seemed close. Breakfast was as advertised in the hotel website, particularly the parties. Everything is smart operated as advertised as well. However, I found the double room doesn't fit the description. It was really small that my husband and I could barely move around in the small box given to us. I did feel that we have been scammed into paying for a single room for a double room price. The room should have been booked with a disclaimer on how small it is so people, if they still go for it, would know what to expect.

The Smarthotel in Oslo was a major disappointment. The rooms are incredibly small, with barely enough space to move around. They were also poorly maintained and unclean, with stained carpets and dust everywhere. To top it off, the staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful. I would strongly recommend avoiding this hotel at all costs.

Check in all done online which is great. All staff were very nice and helpful. Room spotless. WiFi worked great. Hotel very quiet, couldn’t hear other guests. Location absolutely perfect to explore Oslo. Room a lot smaller than anticipated, space could be utilised better. Only 3 coat hangers as clothes storage between 2 of us is no were near enough. We had to use 2 blankets as they are absolutely tiny and only 2 small pillows on the bed. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room.
