This budget hotel is 250 metres from Oslo Central Station. It offers brightly decorated rooms with free WiFi access. Karl Johans gate shopping street is only 150 metres away.

All rooms at Citybox Oslo have a private bathroom with shower. Each room has an armchair and a work desk. Some include a seating area.

My second stay in Citybox, everything was perfect! Spacious for a single room, clean bathroom with heated floor, love it. Comfy bed and great location. This place is perfect if you need to catch the early morning train or flight or just arrived in Oslo in the middle of the night. I stayed here few times as it is convenient for me to catch the train and flight, only 5 minutes walking from the central station. I love the self checkin yet you can always reach any staff, they are friendly and really helpful, if you have a problem. Highly recommended!
