Soria Moria Hotel, Oslo, Norway - Reviews and Hotel Information

A wonderful setting high in the woods with a great view. It's a 20 minutes journey to get there by tram from the city centre + a few minutes walk uphills to get to the hotel area. )

(Of course you can always go there by taxi, which I would recommend to do if you bring heavy luggage, and/or have a tight schedule. Also consider if you have time to stay this far outside town, in some cases a more central hotel would be more practical.)

Having no schedule to keep during this weekend, and a little relieved to get away from downtown Oslo, I quite enjoyed this tram ride, and found it both picturesque and relaxing. The snow was still decorating the hills and trees at this altitude of the city, and the architecture of the villas we were passing along the way were a pleasant sight. Approaching the Voksenkollen most houses are held in dark brown/tar coloured with red window frames, to respect the unity of building style in the area. This adds to the almost magical atmosphere of entering a Norwegian folk tale in the middle of the woods.

The hotel leaves nothing to wish for in comfort, it even has a warm, indoor pool for its guests.
Still it manages to keep a Norwegian rustic and traditional style with use of natural materials in the interior, which suits its setting in the middle of the nature.

In winter it's possible to hire skis next to the station, where the tram stops.

It remains to say that SORIA MORIA is the name of the fairy palace from one of our most typical and beloved Norwegian folk tales, the dream palace situated at the top of the hill, shrouded in a blue light, welcoming the weary wanderer that has reached the end of his quest.
