The hotel is very close to the subway station, walking distance around 10minutes. The room is small. Suitable for solo travelers

City box was a great lower cost choice to stay in Oslo. Granted the rooms are small but there was enough room to get by for a couple of nights. We were out of the room exploring Oslo most of the time anyway. The beds were comfortable and the facility was clean. The staff was helpful with merging our two separate reservations when we had added a day so we didn’t need to change rooms. It was very convenient and walkable to most of the center of Oslo

Completely serviced its purpose. Great location (just two blocks from the train station), clean, secure, lobby was surprisingly nice, bed surprisingly comfortable, basic room and bathroom but fine, checkin is very quick (just make sure you have the reservation number readily available to input in the machine) - for the very cheap room rate - it definitely met and likely exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this hotel to others for an affordable great location in Oslo stay.

What a unique hotel without a front desk. Entrance was flawless. Just type in your info and you are assigned a room with a card type key to get you in.

Great for the price, amazing location.

15 seconds to check in at a kiosk, and no useless request to show a passport. Still, I think a human staff person nearby is warranted. Nice room and bed but note there are no cups nor glasses provided, to drink from. At least there is a hair dryer in the bathroom.

Good price and good location

We had trouble with check-in since we booked through hotels.com, but someone in the lobby let us in, and showed us the office which is behind the main door, in a weird spot. The office helped us check in early (we had planned to just leave our bags, but the room was ready). We booked a Private bathroom, and i loved the bathroom! It was quaint. The floor in the room was stained, and had a weird texture that i imagine is hard to clean, but we had brought slippers. Great price and great location though so worth it in my book

First night we stayed in a double room. The rooms are tiny. Hard to have two people in there with luggage. The shower also very small. The last two nights we stayed in a 2 twin bed room. Those are bigger and more comfortable to stay in. The shower is larger except there is no barrier on the floor for water so water goes everywhere. We used towels on the floor to keep the water contained. I booked rooms through hotels.com and never received a booking reference number to check in. Had to click the help button. Someone did come out right away. Overall the stay was good for what we needed, a place to sleep and shower.

Great location, but literally JUST a base

The hotel is in a FANTASTIC location, however it is very basic. The "carpet" was an odd material and there was no TV in the room, which was pre-advertised. The bathroom had underfloor heating, but the rest of the room had no heating at all. If you want someone to sleep and NOTHING ELSE, this is the place for you.
