Hvittingfoss Holidays from £239

This was an odd property, more like a hostile or a room rental in a person's home than a hotel, but it served my needs, it was clean, safe, and was conveniently located for being far from Oslo (only a 10 minute direct train to downtown). My only issue was that I didn't receive any the check-in instructions with the key box code prior to my arrival; the issue was addressed quickly, but I had to make an international call (since I live in the US) to resolve it. I would consider staying here again.

Secure, spacious, quiet, friendly. Room not vacuumed, coffee not replenished, laundry not fresh, not ironed or folded properly. Room far too cold, unable to adjust the temperature, staff had to provide heater.

Truly like having an apartment in the city. We got tired long ago of going out to eat every afternoon and night. Here we prepped lunches and cooked dinners on most nights (we stayed for a week.) There was also a washer for our clothes (no dryer, but a drying rack and plenty of living-room space worked well). The only downside is that Oslo has no sound ordinances, and people rev no-muffler motorcycles throughout the night until 4am in the summer that would get them arrested in any other sane city.

Hotel is in a great location and staff are very helpful and friendly. My only complaint is breakfast is never hot

Good hotel. Odd to see guests sitting down for dinner in bathrobes.
