Saga Poshtel Oslo

Top choice in Oslo


A crossover hostel-hotel (posh-tel, if you didn't already get it), smartly designed and very central, with a big social lounge with decent wi-fi. Rooms are basic but spotless; there are lots of doubles, plus four- and six-bunk-bed dorms, some with en suites, some with shared facilities. Get yourself up in time for breakfast – it's top notch.
