Budget hotels, pensions, hostels and free camping in Oslo.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Budget options in Oslo include Citybox Oslo, a self-service hotel five minutes' walk from Oslo Central Station, Thon Hotel Astoria, Cochs Pension and Oslo Youth Hostel Haraldsheim. Visit Oslo lists these as budget accommodation and notes that breakfast is often included and Wi-Fi is free. Hostels and campsites are the cheapest.

Why

  1. Citybox Oslo is a 5-minute walk from Oslo Central Station, uses self-service check-in where you scan your ID, and does not include breakfast.
  2. HI Norway lists single rooms at Haraldsheim, 4 km from the centre, from NOK 815 a night, with breakfast included.
  3. Visit Norway gives NOK 1,725 as the average price per night for a hotel room in Norway.

Details

Visit Oslo also lists Hotell Bondeheimen and Thon Hotel Snø among budget options, and Topcamp Bogstad for camping. With your own tent, you can camp for free in the forest or on the island of Langøyene.

Tip

Compare the total price: a hotel with breakfast included can cost less overall than a cheaper room where breakfast is extra, as at Citybox.

What may differ

The cheapest hotel changes from date to date, since Visit Norway notes that prices vary greatly with season, location, comfort level and facilities.

Common misconception

Oslo is too expensive for a budget trip.

What actually happens

Visit Oslo notes that many still think visiting Oslo is costly, and points to hostels, campsites, pensions and budget hotels, often with breakfast included.
