Grunerlokka, a fashionable eating and drinking area popular with the locals is just a short stroll away.

Located a short walk from Karl Johan, the main shopping street and within easy walking distance of the city's main attractions. The hotel is named after the Norwegian painter, Edvard Munch and throughout the hotel copies of his paintings brighten up the walls. The contemporary style lobby with its modern furnishings and plants provides a relaxing setting for guests to unwind. Bedrooms are decorated in a modern Scandinavian style in bright colours and are furnished to a very good standard. Bathrooms are with shower only and although very compact are well maintained.

Superb central location next to Oslo's main street, Karl Johan and close to all the major sights. Founded in 1913 this modern hotel maintains its Norwegian charm and traditions. Rooms vary slightly in size and decor but all offer a good standard of comfort. Authentic Norwegian home cooking is served in the hotel's cafe and is a popular choice with the locals. The in-house arts and crafts shop, which offers the best of Norwegian artefacts, is perfect for buying those last minute souvenirs.

Centrally located next to the Royal Castle and the main shopping street Karl Johan. Well equipped bedrooms would benefit from some refurbishments as the decor is looking rather worn. Contemporary style bar is popular for coffees during the day. Pleasant courtyard popular in the summer months.

Charming, privately owned boutique hotel located just a short walk from central station and the main shopping street, Karl Johans Gate. Traditional in style and elegantly decorated the hotel is full of character.

Our opinion:
Modern property located in Nydalen, approximately 5km from the city centre. Adjacent to the hotel is a shopping mall and underground station where a frequent direct service to central station operates (journey time approx. 20 mins). The contemporary lobby has a welcoming seating area with a log fire that leads on to the stylish bar and restaurant. The vibrant, fun bedrooms are well equipped and follow either an 'Urban' or 'Chilli' theme. Urban rooms have an African feel to them decorated with oranges, purples and tiger prints whilst the Chilli rooms are red and green. A popular choice with the business traveller but also a good out of town alternative for anyone travelling for leisure.
