Vesterøy Holidays from £173

Perfectly preserved traditional hotel, 2nd oldest in Norway, 2790 I think! Warm and welcoming, sumptuous furnishings and really nice staff….

Hotel was nice (albeit very hot with no ac and warm temps) but I had an awful experience with the evening cook (man said he was a student, so hopefully not a full time employee). He insulted me by asking me if I was pregnant, something you never ask a woman unless you are very sure. I cancelled our reservation for 6 people to avoid him, as he was obviously making an insult about my weight.

Communication through the app wasn’t great especially when we could access the the front door.

Easy walking to and from train. Comfortable bed. Food options either restaurant or convenience handy. Staff very nice. Very safe.

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.
