Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Between central station and the cool district Grønerlokka everything is easily walkable from the hostel. The receptionists are friendly, welcoming and very organised. The dorm room was toasty warm. The bedlinen and towels were clean (the duvet and pillow are not). Free microwave usage and cheap coffee. Free luggage storage that is locked. Honestly, it was the cheapest with okay-ish ratings so if you don’t expect more it’s fine for a short stay.

    I didn't try food. I only slept in the bed for a bit. It's a dormitory so there's other people all around but it was a very nice place. I felt safe and secure there. Eneo at the desk was awesome and gave some great bar recommendations. As a result I had a blast in Oslo. If I come back I will be staying K7.

    Me and my friend really enjoyed that the hostel was so close to town that we barely noticed half the time when we arrived in to the main part of it. We also liked our room with its comfortibility and spacious size. We deeply and thoroughly loved the shower, very hot and with great pressure. We're both sad to leave it. This is a great hostel with helpful and friendly staff and it is in a great location close to many sights, restaurants and grocery shops where you can pick up small food and drink.

    Great little hotel - budget option for someone who wants some space and privacy without the hotel price-tag. I had been staying in a combination of hostels and hotels for a long trip and this was a great economical option for a break from dormitory life. Great location, close to train station, sight-seeing and some lovely cafes, bars and restaurants.
