The location of Hobo Oslo is very central and convenient to public transportation and the central train station. It was also very walkable to just about everything in central Oslo. The breakfast was very good, and my family also enjoyed the adjoining pizza restaurant. The bar area is very colorful, lively, and attractive, and we enjoyed the lounge/library also. The rooms were compact but tidy and I liked the commitment to sustainability with reusable bags in the rooms. A hip hotel option if you are looking for one, which is LGBTQIA friendly, as well as just friendly. My only complaint is that there is a nightclub adjoining the part of the building where our room was, and the house music played until the wee hours on Friday and Saturday nights.

Very trendy style but don’t quite the place for us. Bed was super comfy but room was very small (standard room, so not even the smaller room). One side of the bed was against the wall which we really hate, feels cramped and it’s inconvenient. No tea/coffee in room. Also no housekeeping, not clear in advance of booking and detracts from the ‘hotel’ experience. We arrived at 10.45 pm and nothing was available. Bar closed and no mini bar. Staff were very good and breakfast food was excellent, although seating options a bit quirky/cramped. Overall an interesting concept for a boutique hotel but probably more suited to younger travellers.

Amazing hotel!

This was one of the most adorable hotels I’ve ever stayed at! The decor was funky and unusual but in a great way! Everything was super clean. Rooms were comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Was a delightful stay.

Nice place,very clean well maintained. I thought breakfast was good but not great

Really nice and cosy hotel. Amazing location. Super friendly staff. Can store luggage before check in and after check out. Bed is very comfortable, the rooms don't feel small at all. A little bit noisy from neighbouring rooms/corridors/street noises but it is to be expected when staying in a hotel within the city centre.

This is a lovely place in downtown Oslo, close the train station and cruise ship terminal. Friendly staff, great breakfast, clean and well appointed rooms. Definitely good value and location.

Many shops and restaurants close by. Central train station is 5 minutes walk away. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

There are hotels… and then there are experiences that completely redefine what a hotel can be. Hobo Oslo is firmly in the latter category. From the moment you walk in, you realize this isn’t a place designed to simply house you. It’s designed to invite you in. It doesn’t feel like a hotel. It feels like a creative, living space that just happens to have incredible spacious rooms. The design is bold, playful, and refreshingly different, yet still deeply comfortable. Every detail feels intentional, like someone truly cared about how you would experience the space, not just how it would look. And the vibe? Warm, effortless, and genuinely inviting. The kind of place where you linger a little longer than planned. The team brings it all together. They were authentic, welcoming, and present in a way that feels personal without ever trying too hard. If you’re tired of predictable hotels and want something that feels alive, memorable, and completely unique, this is it. They even have free evening entertainment! One of the most unforgettable hotel experiences I’ve had since I started traveling internationally in 1980!

Terrific location, unique looking hotel with a great two floor room. Staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet was one of the best

The room was very clean, the staff did an excelent job.

Great vibe and location, enthusiastic staff, 5* breakfast. Superior room was quite small, with access only to one side (and the end) of the double bed.

Excellent staff - very helpful and friendly

Clean, friendly, helpful, and really conveniently situated. Careful with steps around bed - they can be slippery when wearing socks.

Bright and clean. Comfortable

Superb design, wonderful staff and great location. Fabulous breakfast. Will stay again!
