Rica Hotel Bygdoy Alle, Oslo

Norlandia Oslo Airport Hotel

Advantages: Breakfast was ok
Disadvantages: not close to the airport, small rooms, smelled funny, shower doors broken

I recently had to stay over night at Olso airport since our plane got in late at night and there were no flights to my final destination until the morning. We knew this in advance and had pre-booked a room via a discount hotel website. We chose the Norlandia hotel since it was called ?Norlandia Oslo Airport Hotel? and therefore thought it was a good choice since it was close to the airport. This was where my first gripe with the hotel came from.. once we had arrived we had to take a shuttle bus to get to the hotel, this cost us 60kr each one way (around £6) The airport is infact not so close to the hotel and took a 10 minute bus ride! In the morning we had to take the bus again, so all in all we spent about £24 getting to and from this ?Airport Hotel?. Once we got to the hotel, checking in was easy.

Review of Norlandia Oslo Airport Hotel, Oslo

Location, location, location

Advantages: Very central location, ideal for public transport and exploring the city
Disadvantages: Can be noisy as it is so near the main station

and make sure you don't go hungry for the rest of the day. And I was not alone in that, the Norwegian soldiers at the next table deserved some sort of medal for the amount of food the three of them managed to get through! The restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner under the name 'Bjørvigen Mat & Vinhus' but as I only sampled the breakfasts, I can't comment on the quality or price of food available during the rest of the day. All in all, there is no reason not to recommend the Rica Oslo hotel - while it offers nothing out of the ordinary (by Scandinavian standards at least: there is a fitness room and sauna, but no swimming pool) and has no dedicated private parking for guests, the location is unbeatable if you are travelling through or around Oslo by public transport.

Review of Rica Oslo Hotel, Oslo

Affordable Oslo

Advantages: Free breakfast, Free wifi, Affordable
Disadvantages: Fire alarm, No tea making fac. in rooms

and straightforward to check out. All in all this was a great base for a lovely winter holiday. As a tip to travellers who check out at 11 on their last day, and then find they have a whole day to fill whilst in possession of their suitcases, I would suggest using the lockers at the bus station which are 30 NOK for 24 hours and are massive. If you're looking for luxury then the Anker hotel isn't for you, but if you want comfort and convenience at an affordable rate then definitely check here out. Please feel free to look at my photos of the en-suite bathroom and some Oslo attractions within walking distance of the hotel. Thanks for reading! ©tac20 ...
