Hotels are expensive in Norway, se we looked for hostels. This newly renovated space right in the train station has a great location, very helpful and friendly staff, and our room was quite nice. Definitely a cut above the average hostel. Nice breakfast included, convenient cafe, and hostel kitchen/separate dining area too. Only downside was coming and going of trains and busses, naturally to be expected in this location. My wife aned I are well past the youth hostel stage, but would recommend this place to anyone not needing the full hotel experience.
