The hotel's modern amenities, convenient self-service check-in, and excellent location near the train station and tram stops made my stay extremely comfortable. the free luggage storage service on the day of check-out was also a great convenience. However, the lack of proper room locks and the occasional noise from the tram line were minor drawbacks to an otherwise enjoyable experience.

The dining scene near The Citybox is lit! From MANTRA by Mr India to MyMy Sushi, these spots are straight fire. Plus, the hotel's self-check-in system and clean rooms were top-notch. And let's not forget the cozy cafe downstairs-it's a vibe.
the baggage store could use a bit more security love. Nonetheless, Oslo vibes were still on point during my stay.

The automated check-in process was efficient, and despite some minor issues with the room, the cleanliness stood out. The communal area was a nice place to unwind, although not being able to drink alcohol there was a downside. Overall, a suitable choice for a short city break.

The hotel's central location in Oslo is a major plus, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The easy self-check-in process and comfortable rooms were highlights. While there is no breakfast included, the nearby dining options were plentiful. However, some guests noted minor issues with noisy rooms and room amenities. The value for money and convenient amenities like free luggage storage and easy access to public transport make this a practical choice for travelers.

Excellent location near central train station. Filipino restaurant nearby. Self service check-in/check-out is impressive. Rooms are nice, clean, and comfortable. Plenty of information available for guests.
Keys given to police. Locked out briefly.

Great location near train station. Clean, modern rooms with comfortable beds. Efficient self check-in/out process. Affordable rates for the quality.

I loved the central location of this hotel - close to the train station and the Opera area. Our room was clean and cozy, with insulated windows blocking out tram noise. The bed was comfortable, despite the room being slightly cramped. However, some minor cleanliness issues in the bathroom and unhelpful staff were drawbacks. A more extensive guest kitchen would have been appreciated.

Exceptional. I loved everything about Citybox Oslo. Clean, friendly, great location. Room was cozy & the shower was a pleasant surprise. Small issues were easily resolved, like my luggage delay. a fantastic budget option with a memorable tuna sandwich at the cafe downstairs. Highly recommended!

Just stayed in a hotel in Oslo, super close to the train station. Room was clean, simple, and had a small kitchen. LOVED the value for money, despite no view. Would stay again! It looks better in person than in photos!

We explored Oslo on foot from the hotel, visiting the majestic Oslo Cathedral with its intricate architecture, the impressive Parliament of Norway where we watched the changing of the guards, and the stunning Oslo Opera House. The hotel's central location made it all possible, and we were thrilled with the convenience.
My kids wished for a small play area in the hotel.

Citybox Oslo in Oslo is an ideal base for exploring, with a prime city center location near the opera house and public transport. The room was cozy and the bathroom modern, with heated floors. The communal areas offered amenities like laundry facilities, a shared kitchen, and a ping pong table. Nearby landmarks like the Nobel Peace Center and Oslo Opera House added to our family's memorable stay, fostering bonding time amidst convenience.

In the heart of the city, I found myself completely immersed in the vibrant surroundings of the neighborhood. With the hotel only a short walk from the UNESCO site Bryggen, I felt like I was living in a postcard, surrounded by colorful wooden houses and breathtaking views. It was truly an unforgettable experience.
Water pressure was low.

Stayed at Citybox Oslo, great staff assistance. Room lacked fridge and tea, but cafe nearby. Noise present but manageable with earbuds. Convenient location for sightseeing. Temperature control issue, but staff helped. Late check-in problem, had to switch hotels. Affordable and good for a city stay.

I was thrilled to visit the Oslo Opera House, and Citybox's central location made it the ideal choice. The free daily manager's reception was a delightful surprise, and the small kitchen area with vending machines was very convenient.
No washcloths and alcohol restrictions.

The rooms were clearly so clean and well-maintained that they didn't need daily cleaning. And the automatic check-in added a thrilling element to my stay.
Who needs toilet paper upon check-in anyway? And dirty windows and floors?

This hotel was a gem in the heart of Oslo. the location is unbeatable, within walking distance of major attractions. the rooms are comfy, clean, and modern. the easy self-check-in process was convenient, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Kettles are available upon request, and there are plenty of breakfast options nearby. the common areas are spacious and well-kept, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
While my overall stay was fantastic, there are a couple of areas that could be improved. It would be great if the heated floors in the bathrooms were faster.

Convenient location near Flytoget, cozy cafe with good coffee, tram stop right outside, comfortable bed, walking distance to attractions.
Felt extremely safe, no complaints at all.

No front desk meant memorizing pin codes I swiftly forgot. Unintended cardio from my luggage hunt. A beautiful reminder that I should stick to marine life, not puzzles. Just my luck - the vending machine's code? Still up in the air. These hands are made for handling marine gadgets, not snacks. Contemplating a career shift to snack expert. Cheers, Emma, the marine biologist extraordinaire enjoying a fish out of water moment.

Located near public transit, this budget-friendly accommodation offers comfortable rooms with large windows. Communal areas provide social space. 24-hour electronic check-in and self-service facilities allow for easy access and storage. Discounted breakfast is available at a nearby bakery.

The rooms were cozy, and the bed was comfy with two pillow options, plus the bathroom was clean with heated floors. I really enjoyed chilling in the TV room and playing a round of ping pong for relaxation. The only downside was the small and slow elevators, so sometimes a little patience was needed when going up and down. Overall, it was a chill spot for a quick weekend getaway, and I'd totally stay here again! 😊

Nothing for me 👍🏼

Had a cozy stay in the double room, LOVED the buffet breakfast at the cafe next door. Soundproofed rooms were a savior! Will return, photos don't do justice to the view.

I recently stayed at Citybox for a short trip and it was perfect for a solo traveler like me. The room was clean, cozy, and had a surprisingly spacious bathroom with floor heating. The best part was the incredibly comfortable bed that gave me the best night's sleep. The hotel's location is ideal, just a few minutes from the Central Station and the Bus Terminal. The self-check-in process was quick and easy, and the shared kitchen facilities were well-stocked and clean. The free Wi-Fi worked well throughout my stay, and the value for the price was excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a modern, budget-friendly stay.
Would recommend this hotel.

This hotel is in a great location, just a few minutes' walk from the central train station. It's right in the heart of downtown and you can easily access all the attractions. Plus, there's a nearby cafe that offers discounts for guests staying at this hotel, which is really convenient. The service from the staff was excellent, they were very helpful and friendly. The basic amenities were all there, and I especially liked the floor heating in the bathroom. it's really good value for money.
I had a really good stay at this hotel, there was nothing that I think could be improved.

Spent my New Year's Eve at an affordable and well-situated hotel just a few steps away from the main train station. The check-in was contactless, and the staff was friendly and accommodating, we could store our luggage even after checking out. The shared place on the first floor was a great plus, where we could relax, play table tennis, and enjoy hot cups of tea.
The room was missing a wardrobe, difficult to organize my belongings. the paper plates provided for the guests were flimsy and easily breakable.

I chose this hotel for attending a symposium because it provides Internet computers, modern and affordable conference rooms, and other amenities such as conference space. The self-service check-in was efficient and the staff was helpful. The location is very convenient, close to the train station and walkable to all of Oslo. The hotel offers free luggage storage on the last day, which was very convenient for my travel plans.
The one service that I missed for my work was a business center with printing facilities.

We were able to easily walk to the Oslo Cathedral and the Oslo Opera House, taking in all the cool architecture and snapping tons of pics for the 'gram. The location was super convenient for us to explore the city and really get a feel for the local vibe. It was so lit!
If I had to ask for one thing to level up the fun for young party-goers like us, it would be to have a chill rooftop hangout spot where we could unwind with some drinks and music after our adventurous days in the city.

Next to the train station, this hotel is so close to the center that I could walk everywhere. The facilities are modern, clean, and the staff is very friendly. The transportation is very convenient, with a tram stop right outside, and there is no need to worry about parking.
Nothing, it is perfect.

The double rooms are cozy and comfortable, offering a relaxing atmosphere. As someone who loves to be in touch with nature, I appreciated the modern rooms and the self-service check-in. The free wi-fi was a plus for staying connected while enjoying the surrounding beauty.
I wished there was a bit more variety in the room categories.

The location of this hotel is spot-on, just a short walk from the main train station and with easy access to trams for exploring the city. The self-check-in and check-out process was a breeze, plus the option to store luggage at the end of our stay was a great convenience. The only small improvement could be clearer communication about shared facilities like microwaves and fridges in the guest documents, but overall, we were very impressed and would definitely return. 🌟

It's incredibly convenient to stay in this hotel as it is situated right near a tram station and very close to the city center. There are also many good restaurants and eating options nearby. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean.
Although there were plenty of food options nearby, it wasn't easy to find out which ones were open late or how to access certain information about the area.

I was thrilled to visit The Royal Palace, and Citybox's central location made it incredibly convenient. The free WiFi exceeded my expectations, allowing me to stay connected easily during my trip. Additionally, the small kitchen area with vending machines for snacks and drinks was a pleasant surprise, providing added convenience for a quick bite to eat.
Nearby late-night activity may be off-putting.

The lounge areas with flat screen TV, book exchange, and kitchen facilities were amazing! My accommodation on the seventh floor had a fantastic view and everything I needed for my stay. The location is central and close to all the must-see tourist spots. The receptionist Henrik was incredibly helpful and the communal facilities were great, including the self-catering eating area and laundromat. The self check-in and check-out process was simple and easy. The hotel is perfect for low budget travelers wanting a private room.
