Oslo Youth Hostel Haraldsheim Reviews

Clean and friendly, but very basic and out of the way, and lacking in character.

Definitely one of the best I've stayed in. One of the most expensive also but, everything is very expensive in Norway and, location, becomes unimportant given the quality of this Hostel and is not too far from the City center either.

Negative. Room and Bed are old, not very clean. Toilet is also not quite clean. Kitchen is terrible dirty. Uncleaned dishes, pans, pots, plates, ...etc. are everywhere. Rubbish bin is full. There is a not-yet-finished chicken on the table. If I were a rat, I don't need to prepare my dinner there, which is a nightmare. On the other side, the breakfast is amazing. Staff are friendly.

It was lound, dirty and not charming

The hostel was ok, rooms were clean and staff helpful. However, it is located a bit far from the city center.

I was very happy about the breakfast menu being included in the hostel charges. It is a welcome relief especially for someone who is coming from another country for the first time.

The hostel was fine - it had very little personality, and was rather large. The rooms were crowded (it was ok for me because there were only 2 people in the room for 6, but on the last day we were 5 and there was no room for our stuff). Keep in mind this is a big hostel: bathrooms can be far, and the kitchen gets very hot and crowded (poor ventilation). Other than that, there was easy access to downtown and the area was suburban and clean, with huge parks.

The place is very nice, great breakfast, a bit far from the center but the tram station is only 5 minutes away. It's easier to reach the hotel by tram than by metro. All in all it was nice.

Breakfast was nice but it is not located in the city centre! You need to take tram or bus!

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

Staff is very pleasant. The showers and rest rooms are clean. Rooms are warm and it\'s a good thing when it\'s snowing outside. There\'s a TV room and free wireless internet (wifi). This hostel is quite distant from the subway station but it is still in Oslo so it was good enough.

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 :)
