Hostels listed by Visit Oslo and Visit Norway, with example prices.
Short answer
Visit Oslo lists five hostels, including Oslo Youth Hostel Haraldsheim in the north, Bunks at Rode in Grünerløkka and K7 Hotel Oslo in the city centre. Haraldsheim, an HI hostel in Grefsen 4 km from the centre, has dorm beds from NOK 425 a night with breakfast and bed linen included.
Why
- Visit Norway names Perminalen Hotel, Oslo Hostel Central, Anker Hostel and Oslo Youth Hostel Haraldsheim as year-round choices in Oslo.
- HI Norway lists dorm beds at Haraldsheim from NOK 425 per night and single rooms from NOK 815, with breakfast and bed linen included.
- Members of Hostelling International get a 10 per cent discount on the booking price, according to Visit Norway.
Details
Visit Oslo describes hostels as a cheap place to sleep and a chance to meet other travellers. Haraldsheim lies in green surroundings in Grefsen and has a guest kitchen and free parking. Bunks at Rode is in Grünerløkka, a district of cafés and nightlife by the Akerselva river. K7 Hotel Oslo is listed by Visit Oslo as both a hotel and a hostel in the city centre.
Tip
If you plan to stay in several hostels on your trip, an HI membership gives 10 per cent off bookings at member hostels.
What may differ
Visit Norway notes that some guest houses and hostels in Oslo are only open in summer, so the choice is smaller in the rest of the year.
