Every time we are in Oslo we stay in this hotel. Its clean, great location, parking is 50 m away and affordable. Its easy to park until you unload your suitcases and its allowed tobsray with a dog. And friendly people who work there. If you want luxury you have to go to some other place, if you want functional, clean and nicely located hotel we recommend it. And breakfast is great if you order it. Really great.

We enjoyed our stay at the Holberg hotel. The property itself was a beautiful building, easy access to public transportation or a short walk to main attractions. The breakfast was excellent and had many fresh options. There was a lot of street noise echoing in our room, and the room itself was on the small side.

We were impressed with the location, it’s on the tramline and really convenient to get all over the city. The team went past the window and could be heard from the room but we really enjoyed the sound of it.
