Bunks at Rode, hotel in Oslo

Located in Oslo, Bunks at Rode has a shared lounge, terrace, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property.

What I like about this property the most is the coziness of the room and everything is new. I stayed in a "pink dorm" and even though there's like 20 bunkbeds in place there is still a huge space for everyone to move and surprisingly it is very quiet. I like the card reader locker and I felt its very safe to put your valuables. The bed is comfortable. Wi-Fi is fine, and the pantry is massive. Toilets are clean too. I would like to thank also the "maintenance guy" who helped me cut the padlock in my luggage, you are such a savior:)

National Theater Dormitory Mixed, hotel in Oslo

Well situated in the Frogner district of Oslo, National Theater Dormitory Mixed is located 1.2 miles from Oslo Central Station, a 19-minute walk from Akershus Fortress and 5.1 miles from Sognsvann...

It was great value for money. Comfortable enough. Good location to walk everywhere and host was great at communicating. I was scared but by a few other reviews but I didn’t have any issues Hair went out of his way to make up my bed for me since I was getting in late. Good place to just sleep and shower.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Cheap room for two in Oslo. Very easy to reach from main train station. Would recommend this room only if it is the cheapest option available and you're on a tight budget. Was an acceptable experience, nothing bad.

    Great location a few minutes walk from railway station for the Airport express train. Central for transport shops and cafes. Like any big city a few unsavoury types outside but we did not feel unsafe. Front desk staff knowledgeable and friendly, best buffet breakfast ever seen, plus complimentary afternoon tea and a light dinner so incredible value in an expensive country.

    The hostel is at a great location although at least locals say that is a bit shady area. Just across the river is a bery nice bohemian creative neighbourhood that looks and feels much safer. Staff of the hostel is wonderful, friendly and helpful. Common areas are nicely designed and quite comfortable. Checkin and checkout was very quick and efficient.

    Great location, so close to the central train station (with easy connections to airport) and all the highlights of Oslo. The lobby and common areas are modern and funky and make you feel less like you are at a budget hotel. Definitely a boutique version of budget. Bed was comfy and the room, though small as expected, was functional. Cheap coffee in the lobby!

    Always like this place for short trip to Oslo with friends. It is cozy and clean room in norwegian minimalistisk style with all that you need. Only thing is a kettle, we do need it in the room. Great hostel, especially if you like new people and meetings, they have great location and big common area. It is cool that now sheets are free, they give you towels as well. Takk takk!

    Great little hotel - budget option for someone who wants some space and privacy without the hotel price-tag. I had been staying in a combination of hostels and hotels for a long trip and this was a great economical option for a break from dormitory life. Great location, close to train station, sight-seeing and some lovely cafes, bars and restaurants.

    Great location and communal areas. Self checkin is smooth and given the crazy expensive prices in Oslo, this is a more budget alternative to regular hotel rooms (though still not cheap!)

    Great location for walking around the center. The tram is in front of the hostel, and the central train and bus station is maybe 800 meters away. Very helpful reception. New, neat and clean kitchen. After the check out, you can leave the suitcases for safekeeping.
