Hotels Near Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo

Cochs is located in a charming historical building within walking distance of most of what you want to see in Oslo. Your neighbors live in the Royal Palace! The adjacent park is a lovely walk, the waterfront and pedestrian walkways are 10 minutes away, and best of all there is a Rema 1000 grocery store 1/2 block from Cochs. Since a kitchenette is provided, it makes sense to dine in. Experience shopping and try new local foods! The staff is friendly and helpful, coffee free, the facilities are spotlessly clean, and the history just oozes out of the place when you walk up and down the vintage staircase. A loaner electric adaptor was offered when I realized I did not have the right size for Norway. On a scale of 1-5, Cochs gets a 10!

If you're travelling solo and want somewhere handy in the centre of Oslo and aren't too fussed about some usual hotel comforts, then this will tick the box. It's not super expensive but it could also be a bit cheaper for what it offers. The rooms feel like university student rooms, which isn't a bad thing per se. I'm unsure what larger rooms looked like but despite mine having a double bed, 2 people would feel pretty cramped in there. The bathroom/shower was good, no fault there. The bed was comfy but the matress tended to slide around. There's no room service for cleaning up or refreshing linen, they do that on rotations of their own choosing. If you really want that service (which in any other hotel is a daily one) you can request I think. This is fine for 1 night but after a while you feel a bit grimy. I found some clumps of hair on the floor and in an underbed drawer. There's no kettle in the room which is the bare basic that a room should have in terms of amenities so people can make their own tea, coffee or noodles etc. You can buy tea or coffee in reception but it's worth just heading outside to grab something. My room didn't have wardrobe storage but did have wall bracket-hangers which did the job. There were plenty of sockets for charging things. Like I said for a person solo travelling and not wanting a hostel, this place is fine for 1 night or 2. I stayed 3 and it was too long in that hotel and too long in Oslo in general.

Overall the environment is cozy enough but there’s some issues like the room had not be cleaned properly and there few items within the room is broken

Excellent location for direct airport transfers by express train as well as commuting around Oslo. Walking distance to POI as well as shopping belt. The hotel is only 5 mins walk from central station yet not affected by the bustle of the station. Self Check in was so super easy. We had a room on a high floor with terrace which had a vantage view of the central station. Room is clean & good size although the mattresses could be firmer. All things considered, a very good 3 night stay. Will definitely recommend!

My husband, two adult sons, sister, her husband and I travelled here for my sisters 50th birthday. Did not know what to expect from the hotel as is in the city centre so could be hit or miss. Did not have to worry at all. The staff are absolutely amazing and could not do enough for us. The buffet breakfast set us up for the day. The rooms were spacious and clean and had a mini fridge. Also small ironing board and iron in the rooms should you wish you iron! Water on tap available in the lobby, in the restaurant, in the gym and in the lounge and all had a choice of still or sparkling water. Along with a variety of Nespresso coffee pods. Could not tell that the hotel was in the middle of the centre. Brilliant location and place to chill with the train station within walking distance. If we were coming back to Oslo, this is where we would stay as everything you need and want is close by. Made wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!

Nice place and nice room however, bed sheets and pillow cases could’ve been put on already before we arrived there rather than we having to do it ourselves and could have been better with soap In the bathroom. Otherwise amazing for the price!

Went for a concert- hotel was clean beds were comfortable and shower was hot breakfast was awesome the tv in room didn’t connect though the only down side. I would definitely stay again

In a city with expensive hotels without a good reason, I dared to tried the luxury package of this hostel: Own room with bath, linen (you still need to make the bed yourself) and breakfast. All for a reasonable rate of 850 NOK. The location is nowhere near where you are likely going, but it is possible to walk to/from the metro stop and Storo shopping centre if you're ready for 15 mins walk or so. The hostel is acceptable though totally without charm. The view from the window is over the parking lot but the room and bathroom feel sufficiently clean. Sleep quality is OK, some noise travels in the building and quite a lot of people hanging around. The breakfast is below expectation. Dirty dishes mixed among plates and cutlery make you think the attention to detail might not be there in the food either. You do not take a big breakfast here; just not feeling that hungry. The big plus is the price. But even given that, the experience is so-so.

The reception staff were very attentive and the facilities were very good, the location right by the sea was very nice. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice for everyone. Our room was a nice size with very comfortable beds and everywhere was very clean. Do not expect the air conditioning that is listed as it does not have it, just air recirculation (which for us didn`t work anyway), so the room was rather stuffy as it was quite warm outside when we stayed.The bathroom was very nice, but there was no bathrobe or slippers as listed. Be wary of getting a taxi into and back from Oslo centre, the journey in was a fixed price of around £28 which we thought was quite expensive for a 10 minute ride, but on the way back we got a taxi from the station and was shocked when the fare came to £64 !! and it was only 7pm, I`m pretty sure we were ripped off!
