Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“This functional city chain champions its trademark brand: no-frills, essentials-only rooms at bargain prices (well, at least for Norway). Don’t expect prison-block chic – it’s surprisingly smart, with plain all-white rooms, Scandi-style furniture, free wi-fi and a great downtown location.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Citybox Oslo provides an economical hotel experience that’s unique in its approach. There’s no traditional reception area, allowing guests to manage their booking, payment, check-in and check-out independently.

This lower staffing rate translates into cost savings for the guests! Despite this, a Citybox host is always on site, ready to assist with any requirement during your visit.

Citybox offers a variety of rooms including singles, doubles, twins, family rooms and junior suites. These rooms are modern and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows, WiFi access, private washrooms, superior mattresses, and workstations. Some rooms even offer additional beds or bunk beds.

Although guest rooms don’t have TVs, there is one situated in the ground floor lounge. This vibrant lounge with contemporary furniture is an excellent place to relax or socialise with other hotel residents. There’s also a neighboring cafe serving coffee, breakfast and lunch.

What sets Citybox Oslo apart is its prime location surrounded by several local stores. Plus, it’s merely a 13-minute stroll from the National Museum of Art.

Great location for travelers

The Oslo Citybox location was perfect as we were traveling by train into and out of the city. Being able to leave luggage was very helpful and the checkin and checkout process is very easy. The room had a bit more space than during previous stay and that was helpful. In any case, it's exactly what is billed - a clean, inexpensive spot in a central location in Oslo.

Instructions and costs for leaving and picking up luggage could be made a bit more clear.

Citybox Hotel Oslo is a functional, budget-friendly stay with seamless self-check-in and a great location, though the be

Citybox Hotel Oslo is all about functionality—every square meter is designed for efficiency. I stayed one night, and the self-service check-in and check-out were seamless, getting me into my room within minutes. The rooms are simple but modern, offering exactly what you need without any extras. The location is unbeatable: just a 5-minute walk from the Central Station, making airport access a breeze (only 20 minutes by train). Perfect for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize convenience over luxury. If you need a practical, no-fuss stay in Oslo, this is a great choice!

The bed was a bit too soft for my taste, but that’s a personal preference. Also, if you get a room facing the street, you might hear the trams in the early morning hours.

Great location, excellent service and pleasant stay

Great location. Approx 5 mins walk from central train station and within walking distance to Karl Johans gate (Main Street of the city Oslo). Friendly and helpful service staff.

The bed was too soft for me. Room a little small but still manageable.

It met my needs.

I never saw a staff person, if I needed assistance I don't know how I would have gone about contacting a facility employee. Upon entering the the facility noted a hole in the sheetrock which appeared to have been created by someone's boot as well as a shattered glass entrance door - same appearance as the sheetrock. There was no repair during by 3 night stay.

Worth to give it a try!

It was so nice to be able to check-in earlier. Thank you! I liked the location and the facilities at the hotel. There's a kitchen with two microwaves, fridge and a kettle where you can prepare your meals and eat. There're paper cups, plates, forks, knives and spoons that you can use free of charge. Tab water is drinkable in Norway; so you just need to bring your bottle with you. There's a very nice small cafe right next to the hotel with an entrance inside the hotel, which serves pizza and sandwiches with hot and cold beverages for the ones who would like to eat outside. Although the room was small, it's enough for one person if you travel with a cabin-size luggage. The bathroom was in good size.

Although the room was small, I didn’t feel uncomfortable.

Highly Recommended

The hotel's location was fantastic—central and close to everything! The property was clean and ideal for a short stay. Check-in and check-out were quick and hassle-free. Additionally, the common kitchen downstairs was very convenient and well-maintained.

Would stay again! Excellent location + Cozy + Great value

Room was small, but cozy. The bed and duvet were the most comfortable I have had in a hotel EVER. I understand why that is a FAQ on their website now! WiFi was fast. Hotel was very quiet without much noise from neighbors or the street. I also liked that I could open the small window in the room for fresh air. The bathroom floor was heated, which was a nice surprise! Excellent location 3 blocks from central station, walkable to waterfront, walkable to downtown.

The hotel lobby, corridor, and elevator system across the 3 buildings is a little hard to navigate with a heavy suitcase. Many times I walked by the front desk and it was unstaffed.

Great value - clean, comfortable, and a very short walk from the central station

Small but comfortable room. Very short walk from Oslo S (central train station). And great price! Also very convenient check-in/out - all electronic.

it's important to pay attention to which part of the building the room is in - there are three separate elevators leading to the different wings.

Very reasonable place to come back

+ location is perfect, close to the train station and just within the city centre + it was clean + there was a lot of space in the common areas on the ground floor, where also a kitchen was located - it surprised me very positively

Self service - in case if a problem there was a person there but generally you're self sufficient - its nicer if you have a personal contact with the stuff... but ut was cheaper without... We got a 4 persons bedroom instead of 2 person - I would like it more without a spare bunk bed.
