Akershus Holiday Rentals

"City Box is a basic hotel but it's clean and central to Oslo. Some of the fixtures and fittings could use an upgrade, the bed/mattress was a bit basic and creaky and the shower head could have been better, but if you're only resting your head then that's not a huge deal. You check in with a code (that I didn't have because my email service was being slow), but there are helpful staff on hand if you need help. And all the staff I saw were polite and friendly. The hotel has a partnership with a few nearby eateries and you can get money off breakfast or dinner, though I didn't use any of them. At first glance they still looked a little pricier than I, as a cheap backpacker, wanted to pay. Maybe I should have looked harder as I did find food prices in Oslo to be high anyway. The hotel is extremely central in Oslo - 5 minutes walk to the train station - and there are many choices of shopping, eating or visitor attractions close by. It is a hotel I will look to use again if I return to Oslo."

"incredibly value, great breakfast "

"Breakfast was a 10/10 in food quality and beautiful breakfast room. Bed comfort was good and bathroom was luxurious with enough counter space. Shower was a bit on the tiny side, but still workable. The location of hotel was prime."

"An option for cc skiing. "

"The hotel service was TOP notch. Spotless rooms/hotel. We were upgraded without asking to a room w/a view. Rooms facing interior are very dark; would’ve not liked at all. Bar/restaurant on13th floor stunning. The area around is not quaint & very congested/urban feeling, but within 5 minutes walk one is at Opera house & Munch museum, & in 20 at the Palace or Aker Brygge, or other gorgeous areas. It’s very central to every area. If you’re arriving at central station, it’s literally across the street. Can be loud at night from nightlife. But didn’t bother us. I preferred the more quaint areas around Sentrum, but the hotel Itself was lovely. "

"Close to the station and the shopping area."

"Great location i'n the centre of Oslo. Close to everything. Check in was remote but it enabled us to pay a small fee to check in early which was very useful. Breakfast was excellent. "

"Clean comfortable great breakfast will definitely stay here again "

"Perfect for a relaxing stay just outside Oslo with great, quick and easy transport connections into the city. Beautiful views. Good selection for a vegan breakfast too!"
