Gulden Kunstverk

Don't stay here. The first morning here my mobile phone stopped opening my room door. I sent a message to support, who never got back to me within 24 hours. I got lucky as the maid came along, and after proving to her I was authorized to be in the room, she let me in. This was the only pleasant experience here, and she should have a raise. Every time I left the room, I had to duct tape the latch so I would be able to get back in again, thus leaving entry to anyone walking down the hall. Not a warm and fuzzy feeling, especially as I constantly saw people entering the building without using a pass code.

The facility was extremely clean, modern, and spacious. It felt more like a Nordic apartment than a hotel. And for a price when we stayed, that is one heck of a deal. It came with great amenities like a kitchen and a washer + dryer combo. It is also extremely easy to get to from Oslo S. Use the elevator on the south side between tracks 3 and 4 (where you will alight from the airport train), turn left on the bridge, use the elevator there, then walk down Toyenbekken and turn right on Gronlandsleiret. Took us 8 minutes and was super easy. The neighbourhood is sketchy at night, but we didn't feel too uneasy at 11 pm. But if you are travelling alone, I would suggest sticking to the main street only at night (Gronlandsleiret). During the day, it feels very safe.
