What are the best hotels in Oslo?
Location, hotel types and examples named by Visit Norway.
Short answer
Norway has no official hotel star rating, so choosing a hotel in Oslo starts with location, and Visit Norway says most hotels are in or near the city centre. Examples it names include the historic Grand Hotel, The Thief at Tjuvholmen by the fjord and Amerikalinjen in the former Norwegian America Line headquarters.
Why
- Visit Norway states that there is no official star rating of hotels in Norway.
- According to Visit Norway, the majority of Oslo's hotels are in or near the city centre, and a large breakfast buffet is usually included in the price.
- Clarion Hotel The Hub is Norway's biggest hotel, with 810 guest rooms on 13 floors, according to Visit Norway.
Details
Next to Oslo Central Station you find large hotels such as Thon Hotel Opera. On the waterfront, The Thief at Tjuvholmen has direct access to the Oslo Fjord. Visit Norway also lists Scandic Holmenkollen Park and Lysebu at Holmenkollen, above the city, for those who want to stay closer to nature.
Tip
Book well ahead, since Visit Norway notes that Oslo's hotels are often full, and check whether breakfast is included when you compare prices.
What may differ
Prices vary with season, location and facilities. Visit Norway gives NOK 1,725 as the average price per night for a hotel room in Norway.
