Rooms: Check if there are blankets

by Rachel972

We knew that we had to bring sheets, otherwise the stay at a room or camping gets very expensive. The rent for a set of sheets is the same if you need them for a longer period, but we slept at a different place every night. Don't forget towels.

We had stayed at several rooms where there were good beds and blankets. The beds were longer than our sheets, I brought those old ones that weigh less after many washes.

At hotels we pay in the morning before we leave. But for a room we pay when we take the room, the owner doesn't have to be tied to the departure time of his guests. So there was this room which we found at the end of a looong day, paid 300 kr to the owner who knew no English and disappeared immediately, it was the last empty room. And then I saw that there were no blankets and pillows. I spread all our warm clothing over the sheets.

I'm not an experienced homeless, so the sweaters and coats slipped off at night, and next time I checked the blankets before I paid.

Cabins

The same as with the camping’s, also cabins and cottages are available everywhere around the country to the most remote places.

Spiterstulen Turisthytte: In the heart of Jotunheimen

by Saagar

I list this place as hotel, but you have a range of opportunities here.
Spiterstulen used to be a summer farm in the heart of Jotunheimen, and has over the years grown to a very traditional destination in itself as well as a trekking accommodation place. Family run through several generations.

Big variety in accommodation.
Swimming pool.
Great views, trekking opportunities in all directions, at the foot of Norway's highest mountain. Drive or hike access.
Proximity to glacier climbing and tours.
Big breakfasts, good dinners.
Highly recommended.

F2 Hotel - Rica hotel chain: 2 mins walk from the Hirtugruten Harstad dock

by angiebabe

I was not wanting to spend £53/695 kroner for a night especially with all the other big splash outs on this trip but for Norwegian prices ive got to say im lucky its good value for money -
satelite TV, ensuite, free wireless internet, tea and coffee making facilities in the lobby, nice and friendly and helpful staff, roomy rooms, elevator!(after some tiring days treat yourself with a rest from lugging your luggage!), breakfast is included and though because they have a later start on Sundays but for me i have to be on the boat by then they are still going to arrane something for me to have to take with me!
Good postcards of the area for sale in the lobby for standard price.
Theres a Rema 1000 supermarket just across the road as well.

Nice and obliging staff, professional. Clean hotel with plenty of space - and someone gave me a great room on the top floor looking to the harbour and harbour lights and tomorrow morning i will be able to watch the Hirtugruten coastal voyage boat the Lyngen, which i am catching!, sail in at 645 hours and take pics from my window.

Radisson SAS Airport Hotel, Oslo: Convenient Airport Hotel

by travelfrosch

Sometimes, it's worth it to spend money to save time. Our flight from Kirkenes arrived late in the evening, and our continuing flight home departed the next morning. Rather than waste time (and sleep) traveling to and from the airport, we decided to stay at the airport hotel.

The Radisson SAS Airport Hotel Oslo couldn't be more conveniently located, just across the street from the terminal. While you'd think a stay at an airport hotel would be quite expensive, we managed a significant discount by booking online and paying for the room in advance (this dropped our price to about NOK 1,100 for a double room, admittedly still not a bargain, but quite a savings from the rack rate of NOK 2,295).

The various floors of the hotel each have a kitschy theme; we were on the "Japan" floor. The room itself was what you'd expect in a business-class hotel, with a large bed, full bathroom, trouser press, hair dryer, and mini-bar. We were happiest with the bed, which we used immediately for a fine night's sleep before our departure home.

- Within walking distance of the Airport check-in
- Special web discounts available
- Full business-class buffet breakfast included

Flam Camping Campground: A "5 stars" camping site

by filmar

A five star camping, truly! One of the best camping grounds I’ve ever seen. Well maintained grass field with all necessary amenities, in good conditions. Nice and helpful people all around. Don’t know about the bungalows though, as we slept in our tent. All were full, so most probably you have to book in advance for it.

Main assets are the location and the view all around. The fjord’s walls are breathtaking. The river nearby is terrific and far up the cliff, one can spot a picturesque waterfall (see photo), irresistible prize after half hour climbing on a steep and narrow path on the bushy slopes. As the indicator to the waterfall is not obvious, just a tiny wood plate on a right side of the road, one must be careful not to oversee it. Anyway, not a big mistake, as the village ahead is worthy to visit also.
Kayak lovers are also tempted on the way to rail station, for a bit of adventure on the pristine waters of the fjord (see photo)

Ekeberg Camping: Oslo’s highest campground

by filmar

We arrived quite late at night, about 1 a.m., after an unsuccessful attempt to camp at Bogstad Camping, a site we’ve met before entering in Oslo. Surprisingly and disappointingly, the cerberus from the Bogstad gate did not let us in, being after 23.00. So take care do not be late at Bogstad!! Instead at Ekeberg we were welcomed by a sleepy but very pretty receptionist and accepted inside, leaving the formalities for the next day. A remarkable aspect, much appreciated given the circumstances – late at night and camping almost full.
We camped there for two nights. All amenities were nice and clean and services good, as we discovered in almost all camping places in Norway. There was a bit crowdie as I mentioned, but in mid summer in Oslo, in a place like this, is understandable.

The most we enjoyed the spectacular view of Oslo, far and wide down hill. Ekeberg is the best spot for this. I heartily recommend it.

Støtvig Hotell: Great place just south of Oslo

by Saagar

Støtvig ("Stoetvig") is a shallow bay on the coast due south of Moss, about 45 minutes away from Oslo. If you travel from the south into Norway on the E18 and don't quite make it to Oslo, this is a good place to stay. Likewise, if you are in Oslo but would like to stay at the sea coast, this is a similarily good option. If you are in transit to or from tha south coast, note that there is a ferry connection between Moss and Horten so you can avoid going around to Oslo.
I have visited for multi-day conferences and as restaurant guest while staying nearby. I really liked the old room section, and I had a room with a sea view. It is definitely not a top luxury hotel, but decently appointed and very well kept.

Støtvig is an old-fashioned hotel, where rooms and sections have been added through the ages, so it is a mixed-architecture, sort of maze indoors. The room comes in several categories (thus there is a price variation), and the place caters for long-term guests also. Located right on the beach, only fronted by a terrace and garden, the kids can run on the beach. Fishing, swimming, boat options as well.
The place is regionally famous for its food, and the buffet breakfasts, lunch as well as dinners are great. Seasonal, traditional foods available, much in the way of the mountain ski hotels. Their seafood buffets are very well known. They have conference/meeting rooms and provide a good alternative to stale boardrooms in Oslo. One of Norway's best golf courses is next door.
