Oslo Guldsmeden is often praised for its stylish and cozy atmosphere, with charming rooms well-equipped with amenities like desks, armchairs, and even radios featuring Norwegian stations. Its location offers a blend of convenience and tranquility, being within walking distance of main Oslo sites like the National Museum and close to the train station for airport access, yet situated on a quiet street; some rooms on higher floors even offer balconies with sea views. The breakfast is often described as excellent, though a few guests have occasionally found issues with the freshness of certain breakfast items. The hotel is also appreciated for providing toiletries and a 24/7 coffee and tea station in the lobby.

Decent stay with some minor issues

organic breakfast variety of options helpful recommendation local restaurant local station room radio small room limited space missing hand towels bathroom issue poor water pressure shower issue

The breakfast offered a good variety of organic options. I particularly enjoyed the fresh bread. The staff were friendly and provided helpful recommendations for local restaurants. I found the radio in the room interesting. It gave me a chance to listen to local stations.

My room was quite small, and I struggled to find space for my luggage. I did not find hand towels in the bathroom. The shower pressure was quite poor. I found it difficult to wash properly.
