3 Star Hotels in Oslo

I spent a night at Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station Oslo, and while it's a no-frills accommodation, it's worth mentioning its cleanliness and thoughtful amenities. The heated bathroom floor was a pleasant surprise, providing an extra touch of comfort. Since it's a straightforward hotel, there's not much to elaborate on, but for a one-night stay, it served its purpose well. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, with friendly and polite staff readily available to assist if needed

Location is very good 5 minutes walk from Oslo Central Station Opera House is also within walking distance You can get around most of the city by taking the tram. The room also has a double bed, so it's enough for one person. However, there seemed to be a small number of pots and heaters, so the rental had ended. I went to the first floor several times to get hot water. Even if there was no cleaning, it was perfectly fine as it was a 2 night stay. The inside is beautiful. It's cheap and recommended.

The location is great, right in the centre of Reykjavík, 5 minutes walk to reach the main attractions. The room was clean and tidy and there was a complimentary breakfast offered which was great.

If you're travelling solo and want somewhere handy in the centre of Oslo and aren't too fussed about some usual hotel comforts, then this will tick the box. It's not super expensive but it could also be a bit cheaper for what it offers. The rooms feel like university student rooms, which isn't a bad thing per se. I'm unsure what larger rooms looked like but despite mine having a double bed, 2 people would feel pretty cramped in there. The bathroom/shower was good, no fault there. The bed was comfy but the matress tended to slide around. There's no room service for cleaning up or refreshing linen, they do that on rotations of their own choosing. If you really want that service (which in any other hotel is a daily one) you can request I think. This is fine for 1 night but after a while you feel a bit grimy. I found some clumps of hair on the floor and in an underbed drawer. There's no kettle in the room which is the bare basic that a room should have in terms of amenities so people can make their own tea, coffee or noodles etc. You can buy tea or coffee in reception but it's worth just heading outside to grab something. My room didn't have wardrobe storage but did have wall bracket-hangers which did the job. There were plenty of sockets for charging things. Like I said for a person solo travelling and not wanting a hostel, this place is fine for 1 night or 2. I stayed 3 and it was too long in that hotel and too long in Oslo in general.

Nice budget hotel, nice breakfast and busy anywhere. We stay at the 9th floor, but you still can heard the sounds outside when the window opened. Also, you can not closed the windows all the time, because the toilet and bathroom are don’t have windows and it’s only take out the air from there to the room.

I would really have liked to have given this a five star review, because the reception staff were super friendly, making sure I knew where the tourist attractions were and how to get there on my first day and letting me use the toilet when I popped back on my last day well after I’d checked out, as well as giving me a room with a phenomenal view of the fjord, but a couple of things took the shine off for me. One was the lack of air con. I mis-understood how hot Oslo could be, which is kind of on me and not the hotel BUT the DIY open window and fan arrangement weren’t entirely satisfactory, and while I was in my room, I never felt entirely comfortable with how hot I was. I guess the opposite could also be true if you can’t control how hot or cold your room gets in winter (when I assume my imaginings of snow drifts is actually a thing). Secondly was the breakfast. I can in no way fault the food - smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, bread, carrot cake (always a joy, whatever the time of day), melon, cheese and ham, but trying to find a table was sometimes impossible. It was particularly difficult for me as a solo traveller. It involved getting up early, crossing my fingers and piling everything on my plate in one go, just in case. Some days it was fine, but one day, after walking what felt like the entire length of the shopping centre getting increasingly dispondent, I had to perch on the end of a table with a group of pensioners who were staying there after two weeks travelling up and down Scandinavia together on train. Fortunately I am mature enough to be able to make small talk, but I can see how it wouldn’t go down so well with everyone else. Coffee was also a hit hit and miss - I was only offered some two out of four days. These little quirks are a real shame, because the location is great (handy for the train and city centre tourist attractions), and as I say, the staff on reception were lovely (and based on what I heard while I was standing in line, some of the other guests can be quite demanding). If I’m in Oslo again, I would definitely consider staying here again (but maybe bring a handheld fan or multiple layers of clothing, depending on the season) and maybe avoiding the breakfast.

The hotel is beautiful. Simple. But has plenty of upgrades available. Room was spacious and clean. Beds were very comfortable. Heated bathroom floors. Big tub. Walking distance to everything! That’s a big plus when you a tugging two young ones on foot. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel to families and couples or anyone that needs a clean, comfortable and safe place to stay. And free breakfast 😊

We stayed here for four nights over the Oslo Marathon weekend. We were lucky to have a superior room (only four on each floor by the look of things) and so had plenty of space - indeed our bathroom seemed to be much the same size as the standard room. The bed was very comfy and the room was quiet, with the window facing an internal space. Slept well and pigged out on Sky's coverage of the Queen's death when in the room. Note no tea/coffee/fridge/safe etc in room but all these were available on the ground floor, Breakfast (included in our online offer) was great - the usual Scandi buffet with the only problem being holding back and not overeating. The hotel has a good central location on the west side of central and we found that we could walk everywhere no problem. All in all a great stay and we would certainly consider staying again were we ever to revist Oslo, which I hope we do.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotell Bondeheimen! The rooms were clean and cozy. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. The location was perfect for us. We walked everywhere, except for Vigeland Sculpture Park. We took a tram but the stop was really close to the hotel. The breakfast buffet was incredible! It was full of delicious foods that lasted me until dinner. The restaurant attached to the hotel was fantastic. See separate reviews for Kaffistova. I would highly recommend this hotel if you wanna be in heart of it all but without the noise.

We stayed here for three nights this week. We checked in late and were given room 501. It was an ok room but the windows were high up on the walls and difficult to see out. Since we had booked a superior room we asked to switch to a better room in the morning. The guy at the front desk seemed very bothered by our request and quickly said without checking that they were fully booked and we should just spend our time outdoors and not in the room. Very unprofessional attitude. I know help is hard to get but this guy should be furloughed. Later that same day we asked another gentleman at the front desk if we could change rooms. He immediately said he would look into it and gave us room 239 with large windows overlooking the plaza and Karl Johan Gate. I wish I had his name. He was a black person, and should be given a raise. Takk skal du ha. Very conveniently located with access from inside the train station. Just walk towards Karl Johan Gate and it’s on the left just before you exit the station. Easy walking, train, tram, ferry access to all the things to see. Excellent breakfast with a large array of hot and cold choices. We’d stay here again in room 239 not 501.
