A lovely room, comfortable beds and lovely breakfast. Your girl on days is fantastic. Loved that you had free umbrellas. We needed them. Swapped some books thanks. Very close to restaurants. Just at the edge of too far away from town. Depends where you are going. A walk to the palace and port and parliament. The sculpture park at Ekesbergarten was too far away. Took a taxi when there was a deluge and we got saturated. Loved Oslo and it was a lovely place to stay.
