Hotell Bondeheimen

Oslo


This century-old hotel, which has spacious, colourful rooms with smart, simple furnishings, started life as a boarding house for rural folk coming down to the big city and was owned by an organisation promoting Norwegian culture. The rooms have some lovely original architecture and an attention to detail that comes from a long history of hospitality.
