Decent for the price
For a hostel it is fairly quiet. If you stay out front you will have the tram rattling by, which means you can't keep the windows open at night. This will be a problem in summer

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
The Dormitory was very comfortable, Single Bed of 8 in one room. The noise inside is quite noisy. Its unisex. I thought its only female in one room. Im a bit concerned, so i didn't have a good night sleep. I didn't feel safe that night. It was better if I had the room for myself or if it was females only. It is what it is. I learned my lesson not to go budget.

It’s minimal services they gave us. We need to set up the sheets for the bed, they come to the room only when they pick up the garbage bags every day.But at least we can sleep tight in the beds in the big space. And place is very easy to access to the center of the city. No complaining, for the price, it’s good choice.

Expected better from Scandinavia
No safe place to store your luggage. There’s a room but anyone can go in really and no lockers in the room. So someone from the room can just take your luggage if you’re sleeping hard. For Oslo being such a beautiful city with expensive surroundings I was so surprised. I was so uncomfortable I left at 230am instead of my planned 4am to the airport.
