The Oslo Sentralstasjon is the train station in the center of the city. If you're planning to take…read morepublic transit or travel throughout the country, with Oslo en route, you will make a stop or start or end here at Oslo Sentralstasjon. I was so impressed by this train station, reminding me that America once again lags in public transit systems. I recommend getting an accommodation walking distance to the Oslo sentralstasjon if you're visiting and planning to travel throughout the country. My experience here every time was pleasant. I first arrived to this station from the airport, taking a dedicated train service that gets you directly from the Oslo airport to here. Then I had to visit the train station again when I was traveling westward from Oslo. Make it a point to be nearby this train station for your trip planning. The train station is very clean and easy to navigate. There are signs everywhere of train departure times and locations and it's in English. There were also plenty of places to sit, relax and lots of eateries in the station and nearby. Many hotels are also next to this train station, and there's an area for car pick-up, taxis, etc. I was pleased to have this station so accessible for my Norway vacation, making it easy and pleasant to travel around.

I had been ordering from Oslo Sweater Shop for a number of years, often purchasing a sweater for my…read morewife at Christmas. I had always been happy with the products and service. This past Christmas was different. I ordered a sweater and paid for gift wrapping. The sweater arrived before Christmas and was of good quality. Unfortunately, the sweater was not gift wrapped. While the lack of gift wrapping was not a big deal, I had paid extra for it, so I requested a refund of the gift wrapping fee on 21 December. I was informed the company would respond within 24 hours. Ten days later, there was no response, so I sent the request again on 31 December. Ten days later, the company sent the shipping tracking number. I was not questioning the shipping; the goods had been received. For the third time over more than three weeks, I requested a refund of the gift wrapping fee. While the fee was finally refunded, I received no response from the company at all. The true measure of a company is how they respond when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, Oslo Sweater Shop has no commitment to customer service.

Almost a month later when I got the email it shipped I was informed that the jade plugs were actually out of stock and I received a 15$ gift card. This is poor customer service. I would have rather taken a refund. When i received my lotus hanger I found out that in fact it wasn't sold in pairs. Why would you sell something that is almost always a pair as an individual? That is merely just frustrating. To replace my jade plugs that I was informed were sold out I ordered another set of a different kind. Only to find out when I received them they are far bigger than the normal 7/16" sizes and will not fit at all. Overall Im extremely disappointed with what I've received and the lack of customer service. I normally don't write reviews on products but these items were not cheap.

The proprietor was so friendly, and she was curious about where I was from since I was speaking english. I told her Seattle and she thought that was cool. She also showed this interest in a young couple that came in a little after me... they too were from Seattle and had just moved here like me! The gal exclaimed this was definitely meant to be! And I agree! Anyway, I ordered the Varm Sjokolade (hot chocolate) I can easily say it's the best I've ever had. It was a huge cup meant for slow sipping while browsing the cool vintage items displayed for sale. I enjoyed my time at Retrolykke Kaffebar.
