Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Citybox Oslo offers a convenient location, just a short walk from the central train station and close to attractions like the Opera and Munch Museum, with a bus and tram stop right outside. Guests appreciate the modern, youth hostel vibe and the easy self-check-in/out process. The rooms are functional, some include kettles, and a communal fridge and laundry room are available; however, a few guests have noted that some rooms can be on the smaller side. With discounts available at nearby restaurants, it presents a good value for exploring Oslo.

unavailable room unhelpful staff

The location was amazing. It was easy to reach from the main train station.

i joined their members group expecting early check-in, but i got 'upgraded' to a family room. this family room was unavailable until later. finding staff proved difficult, and the woman i found just told me to 'come back later'.

basic stay with issues

small room ineffective heater

the location was good providing easy access to nearby transportation and attractions.

i found the room to be quite small making it difficult to move around with luggage the lack of proper ventilation in the bathroom made it stuffy and uncomfortable the heater was not working effectively requiring me to open a window to regulate the temperature a bit frustrating.

Efficient Stay in City Center

convenient location downstairs lounge simple self check-in

The location is convenient with easy access to transportation. The downstairs lounge offered a microwave and hot water kettle. I found self check-in and check-out very simple to manage.

The room I had was quite small. It was hard to open two pieces of luggage at the same time.
