The best youth hostels Oslo

Located about 10 km west, this hostel is a good deal for backpackers, groups and families! For the same price as the hostels in the centre, the rooms are more airy and accommodate a maximum of 4 people, with private bathrooms as well. Outside there is a large garden and barbecue facilities. The fjord near the hostel offers nice swimming spots and the hostel will lend you canoes and kayaks! However, you will have to take the train to get around town. Free parking.

An ultra-central, comfortable youth hostel! The ideal place to stay to discover the city without wasting too much time on public transport and without compromising on comfort. The hostel offers private double or family rooms and dormitories from 2 to 12 beds for smaller budgets. You can pay extra for bed linen and towels, and there's a launderette (for a fee) in the hostel and a kitchen available. Suitcases can be left at reception for exploring the city.

Once upon a time, there was another inn on the border between town and nature. In an idyllic setting, just a stone's throw from the Oslo-Marka forest and Maridalsvannet lake, this establishment, renovated in 2017, will delight lovers of the great outdoors and hikers alike. The premises and rooms are modern and comfortable, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Billiards, table tennis and board games are available to liven up evenings. Trains, streetcars and buses are close by, allowing you to reach the city center in just 30 minutes!
