About this place Smarthotel Oslo

Smarthotel Oslo is a no-frills budget stay on Sankt Olavs gate in central Oslo with an explicit gay-friendly policy. Rooms are compact, modern, and include free Wi-Fi. In a notoriously pricey capital, that tight square footage is the bargain you strike to keep your bill down. Treat it as a crash pad rather than a destination. The location pulls the weight here. You are a five-minute walk from Nationaltheatret station, with the National Museum and the Royal Palace just down the street. Oslo's cluster of gay nightlife and the London Pub strip sit within easy walking distance. Nearly 3,000 Google reviewers give it a 3.9 average. Most grumbles predictably center on the room size, but if you only need a bed between sightseeing and late pints, it works.

They don't clean the rooms. Bad smell in publicarea. TV channels not working. A disaster

The second worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Rooms this small should be illegal, and so should the stench in the rooms and elevator.

The hotel is very centrally located, and the train station is a quick 5-minute walk away. The tram stop is just around the corner. There were also almost always scooters parked in front of the hotel! Our room was really quite small (around 8 square meters), and consequently, the bed was very narrow for two people (1.20-1.40 meters). However, we didn't spend much time in the room. There was no room cleaning service, but fresh towels were available if needed. Breakfast was perfectly fine and sufficient! We recommend this hotel for a short city break!

Tiny rooms; we had to open our suitcases in the hallway. No storage space inside. Only one accessible power outlet in the entire room, and it was in the bathroom. Zero service. Toilet paper like you'd find in a train station restroom. The shower was less than half a square meter. Truly the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Check-in, however, was super easy and convenient 👍

The hotel is well-located, close to the city center, Aker Brygge, and several public transport options. It's an affordable choice by Oslo standards, although it does have some limitations: there's no housekeeping service or bed making during your stay, and towels are only changed every four days. The room is very small, functional for a single traveler with light luggage, but very cramped for two; the bed is only accessible from one side, and there's almost no storage (no wardrobe, just two hangers and a tiny shelf). The bathroom is also small. On the plus side, it has a fold-down desk, practical for working, and the Wi-Fi works acceptably (weak signal, but good speed). My interior room was quiet, although there was some background noise from music at night. Knowing what's on offer, I would stay again for the price and location.

Great location. The room was small but we paid for a mini double so that's what we expected. And we didn't come to Oslo to sit in our room! The public rooms are light, airy and very pleasant. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional - really nice!
