Perfect place for a stop over! Clean convenient and easy with teenagers! Bunk beds comfortable and short walk to the old city. 5***** I recommand for a cheap stay in oslo!
it´s near the centralstation, you can walk by feed or take the tram - only two stations. The Hostel is very clean, you can buy coffee and if you have questions, you can ask the friendly stuff.
