The flight from Reine was cancelled but we did fly out that day after two snow ploughs flew up and down the runway clearing snow. We made the SAS connecting flight to Oslo where we had booked into the Comfort Hotel Express Central station in a balcony room on the top floor, not that we could sit outside but we did go out to view the square. It was an excellent hotel, similar style to Citizen M and convenient for the station and airport. Checking in was well organised and one could do it oneself though if one needed help there was someone at the bar! Communications were clear and Cool! WIFI had been available and free in airports and on trains but the WIFI at the hotel was incredibly fast.
Connectivity - First things first, lets get you hooked up, our WIFI "Telenor" it is fast, free and open. (and they were not kidding, lightening fast!) There are no room phones so if you have any questions, skip on downstairs and grab one of the happy crew members. You can also call us at +47 22 40 ** ** for international guests, we recommend using calling apps like Viber or Skype. (oh no, I have been watched skipping).
View - Now, its time to take in our urban surroundings. Head on up to the 7th floor corridor to enjoy the urban view through the floor to ceiling windows.
Ironing- Are you in that sharp, super clean and wrinkle free look? Head on over to over to the 7th floor where you will find our ironing room. (The Arctic travellers gave that a miss.......)
Barception - Next, head on down to the Barception. It's a great place to get a drink before your urban adventures, meet new people and enjoy some music.
Breakfast - Some people like to have it in the morning, some don't. Staying with us means you can choose. Buy a cup of coffee and something to eat in the Barception or do your breakfast urban style in one of Oslo's many great coffee shops. Again, download the Urban Experiences app for insider tips.
Staying in the centre enabled us to get to the Sculpture Park in the morning before getting a flight to London Heathrow.
Everyone seemed to be accessing WIFI and the timely train service offered self-service coffee.
