Check-in delays reported

Mixed reports over service
Lots of guests said they experienced a good standard of customer service; others felt it could have been better. There are a few reports of the free breakfast being a little chaotic at peak times, but then again Oslo is notoriously expensive so perhaps the rarity of a free meal generates extra demand. Some negative reviews from guests were prompted by experiences of being left waiting for requests to be handled by some hotel personnel.
