Oslo Youth Hostel Haraldsheim Reviews

short distance away from the city centre, have to take a train from the nearby subway (abt 5mins walk away). very friendly staff and wifi is available on the first floor. bathrooms are really clean and there is adequate hot water (esp great during the cold winter!) there's nowhere to eat nearby though, but there is food available from the vending machines

A good Hostel with a decent breakfast. Nice area. Building is well equiped and there are excellent transport links close to the Hostel. I have stayed before and will be back again.

The Hostel is located far from the City and indications on how to get there are a bit confuse. I took the bus number 31 from the train station and took me some time to realize that I would have to always go right. But I got there, eventually. The younger man in the staff is a gentleman...very helpfull. Location is basically the only negative aspect of Oslo Youth. Also is a little hard to bond with the other guests, but it is not their fault

Good clean hostel but not much of an atmosphere and a bit far away from the city centre (only a 10min train ride away but still a small hassle) however it is better value for money than the places in the city.

The hostel itself is very nice and clean and easily accessible from the city centre, but I did not find the atmosphere very welcoming. most people that were staying there when I was were Norwegian and seemed to not want to engage in a conversation. I may have just come at the wrong time it seemed to be full of sporting teams. On the other hand the free breakfast is excellent and the rooms are nice and secure with lockers. .

Enjoyed the stay, cosy place, clean toilets (especially liked that the shower and toileting areas were separated), clean beds. Does not provide linen though, and it can be pretty pricey. Located near the train station, though relatively far from town (not possible to walk!) Great staff service too!

Very friendly staff, very good breakfast, like it.

I suppose that this hostel was definitely great!b!! Espeacially, breakfast was fantastic! I could eat variaty of food and good tasty. Bed linen and other things were all clean. I could say this hostel was awesome!

Fantastic hostel! Directions to the area should be better though. Its very confusing to find with the directions given. A map or something might help, and details of all the different transport options (where to go, how to pay etc) Overall, lovely stay :)

Very nice and clean hostel in a green neigboughood and with panoramic view over the city! Don't be afraid it is not exactly in downtown - a metro, local train, tram and busses are within 5min walk and will take you right in the city, just 7 minutes ride to the central station. Lots of space for football, volleyball etc. The breakfast was gooood! The only drawback I could find - for the bed linnen you must pay some kronas extra, or must take your own linen with you.

Nice rooms, very clean and a beautiful view from the front of the building. A little ways away from city centre, but the public transportation options make this concern irrelevant.

Not the best location and the directions really need to be updated, very hard to find at night! Very clean hostel and the breakfast is amazing.

The Hostel was really good. It is really close to tram, train and bus services to get around easily from airport and also exploring Oslo. The breakfast was amazing and the self catering kitchen was really good. I would like to stay here again some time.

Anna (one of the staff member) is one of the nicest person I've ever met. Just for her, I would come back sometime. She was really helpful and as we had a bus to catch at 4 AM she gave us (me and my wife) a room to have some sleep instead of waiting in the reception...

Nice place, but you will have to pay extra for bed sheets and either you bring your own or you must pay fort it.

Expensive, but the huge breakfast buffet makes it worth it.

Possibly the best hostel to stay in Oslo, although quite far from the center of the town. Note that the hostel recommends taking a direct bus from Gardermoen airport to get there. It is much cheaper though to take a regular (not the Flytoget) train to Oslo and then change trains and get off at Grefsen (88 NOK).

A little far away from Downtown Oslo, but excellent otherwise. Generous breakfast offerings, fast WIFI.

An excellent hostel. Very clean and secure, and a huge breakfast buffet served from as early as 6:30 in the morning (7 o'clock on Sundays). The only (small) problem is the location, but there are subway and train stations nearby. The cheapest supermarket in Norway (Rema 1000) right next to the hostel.

Very nice hostel and the staff very friendly and helpful. The only problem is the location, a bit far way the town.
