Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station
I like the 24/7 barception. I did not like how card only payment and checking in after 3pm. Overall I highly recommend.

K7 Hotel Oslo
Nice room in an interesting hotel but let down by storage and amenities….there’s none of either. The area seems to be in a quiet part of the city but an easy walk to just about everywhere.
