 "Converted apartment block near Karl Johans Gate." 
 "In a carefully restored 1890s town house, the privately owned Saga is tucked away in a rare quiet corner of Oslo, is run on eco-friendly lines, and exudes a tranquil air of calm." Full review

 "It has simply fitted-out bedrooms in bright, primary colors but its main attraction is its brilliant location a few steps away from the Oslofjord waterfrontt, as well as the bars and cafes" Full review
