The rooms here are smart, large, decorated in deep reds and cool blacks (which might not
appeal to everyone), and have more character than most Oslo hotels. Outside stands a giant
statue of a woman contorted into a crazy yoga position. Yoga or not, what really makes
this place stand out is that a set dinner is included.
Grand Central
HOTEL
Every trainspotter's dream hotel. This hotel is built out of part of the former train station
(which is being converted into a new shopping and cultural centre, Østbanehallen) and has
a train load of character with graffiti-covered rooms and a position that almost overlooks
the Opera House.

This might be marketed as a Thon 'budget' hotel, but if it weren't for the slightly smaller
than normal bathroom and the lack of a minibar or pay TV, there would be nothing to dis-
tinguish this hotel from some much more expensive options. It's well positioned close to
the train station, but the only nearby parking is on the street.
Do note that single rooms can be truly microscopic in dimension; single travellers may
prefer to splash out on a double room.

)
This busy place could be described as a 'budget business hotel'. The plain and simple
rooms, which have everything you need in a hotel room and nothing more, are a perfect
compromise between a hostel and an upper-crust hotel. There's a huge breakfast spread.
