$77 per night back then - off season prices are still around there. Large breakfast buffet included.
Expensive, but not
bad. However, it may be the most reasonable acceptable place in town, and for
those who want to "rough it", they have a student hotel portion, that
they open for part of the year for a lot less and with fewer conveniences. Located
two or three tram stops from the station, and in acceptable walking distance
from town, though the trams and buses go everywhere and cabs are not very expensive
either. It's large and caters to the usual package-tourist groups. Bus-loads
of them, but fun to chat with. A laundry place exists a good distance away from
the hotel, across from the graveyard where Ibsen is buried. Food stores are
around the station area, where there are some great malls and shops, as well
as gobs of restaurants. Do not miss out on the lovely trip to the other side
of the bay to the Oseberg and Gokstad Viking ship museum. It is just one of
three nice museums on that side of the bay. Another cool thing to do is to go
to Flom and take the Flomsbana, a train through a picturesque fjord, at the
bottom of which you can go via cruiseship to Bergen and then return by train
to Oslo the following day. It's called Norway in a Nutshell and advertised in
the train station. For gym-rats and especially members of 24HR Fitness, there
is an excellent 24HR Fitness gym atop a building right near the main station.
