- Location (close to the city centre, tram and river) - Nice hostel

Jiří Czech Republic

It is near the tram which was easy for us to reach the downtown of Oslo in minutes.

Keith United States

In general, is a good, safe and cheap option. My dorm was mixed but we ended up being only girls so it was definitely nice. Wifi worked fine and it was cool to have kitchen and fridge in the room.

Iris Spain

Spacious room Good location Kitchen available (kitchen utensils available in exchange for deposit) Friendly staff

Artur Poland

A kitchen in the room which is rare; lovely hall to stay and no problem to check in late. Possibility to leave luggage in a locker room. A private bathroom ( although not separate WC)

Faustyna Poland

Cheap hotel option in Oslo (which is not easy to find). Not the fanciest place, as you'd expect, but still a very good budget friendly options for Oslo. Thank you!

K Norway

The position is great! Next to the city center and to the station. There is also quietness at night, though its position. The fridge in the room is a plus

Stefano Italy

Perfect place to stay in Oslo city center. Cheap (for Norway prices), perfect location (7min walk from central station where you can get the train to the airport), lovely staff, easy check in, no extra charges for bed linen and towel, bed linen and towel are very clean and confortable. Beds are confortable and with plugs to charge your phone. Great views from the bedroom on Oslo's roof and the moon. Clean bathroom inside the room with hot water. That is very convenient. People were nice and respectful. I slept very well. Nothing to complain about. Good vibes in the lobby with a great common area where you can see other travelers.

Gauthier France

Excellent location and great value for money. Comfy beds and clean sheets. Friendly staff.

Todorova United Kingdom
