Phxazzcruisers Posted December 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2018 We just booked a cruise starting in Oslo on July 1, 2019. We will arrive on June 30th and looking for suggestions on a good Hotel that will not "break the Bank". WE usually stay at Hilton properties, but note that there are none nearby.

audobon_tx Posted December 4, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Actually, as hotels in European capitals go, Oslo isn't that pricey for rooms (but stay out of the bar!). I used to visit on business and would probably stay at the Grand Hotel for old times sake. Historic and great location. There are newer and less expensive choices but most are kind of boring.

frickwg Posted December 4, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 4, 2018 If you are just staying overnight, pre-cruise, the Park Inn By Radisson Oslo Airport, Gardermoen Hotel, was just fine for us. Noting to see there. Walking (with luggage) from International arrivals and you can use the baggage cart. Practical, clean, functional and cheap (for Norway).

Grandma Cruising Posted December 4, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Next July, we’re staying for 2 nights pre-cruise at the Best Western City Centre Plus at about $200 a night. We chose it because it’s central and is right next to the station as we intend to use the airport express train to get onto town - much cheaper than a taxi. Have you tried posting in your cruise roll-Call as others on your cruise can advise you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenoirm Posted December 4, 2018 #15 Share Posted December 4, 2018 We choose Smarthotel Oslo for 2 nights pré Cruise. $121/night for a small clean room in a modern centrally located hotel. Nothing special but good enough for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrulyBlonde Posted March 1, 2019 #18 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) We stayed at the Radisson Blu airport hotel which happens to be right at the airport for easy access. Reasonable, clean, and a nice restaurant. We took the train back from Bergen and it all was very easy to accomplish.

aerobee Posted March 5, 2019 #19 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I'm late to this topic, but there's a new luxe class hotel in Oslo. Rooms start at about 300 euro/night which is still cheaper than The Thief, its sister hotel. Not on the water but well-located for tourists, in front of Central Station at the start of the walking street. https://amerikalinjen.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
