Places to stay

A quiet, central location in Oslo with one of the better hotel breakfasts in the city.

Steps from Mathallen and walking distance to dozens of bars and restaurants, priced lower than comparable options closer to the centre. Rooms are plain Scandic. The neighbourhood does the heavy lifting. Book a river-facing room.

Traditional fishermen's cabins at the literal end of Lofoten, inside one of the archipelago´s best-preserved historic villages.

A proper 4-star Radisson Blu at lower-than-downtown prices, with a metro station practically attached to the building.

Upper-floor fjord views that rival any hotel in Oslo. One of the few central Oslo hotels with an indoor pool and sauna.

Three minutes from Oslo Central Station with one of the best hotel gyms in the country.
