Lovely setting, plentiful breakfast w lots of choice (no rotten or mouldy food while I was there, to address earlier reviews). Staff are very helpful and the grounds are beautiful. It’s not central, but is good value. Easy access to public transportation. Kitchen is clean and well equipped and breakfast meal service is good.

Need a friendly face

The property is located in a beautiful area right outside of Oslo. It’s clean, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They have an amazing kitchen that has all the equipment and space you need. The rooms are clean as are all the facilities and the laundry is affordable and works!

Clean and comfortable, but out of the city.

I found this property very clean and reasonably comfortable. They had a laundry room which was very handy and a comprehensive buffet breakfast. It was a quiet area and quite away from the city centre, which is an expensive taxi ride too and from. There are local buses and trams which may get you near, if you can work out how to find and interpret the stops etc.

The towels we got were dirty and stained. We could not use them. We took pictures and went to the reception to get new towels. The gentleman refused to give us towels as he wanted proof that the towels were not cleaned by their cleaning contractors. This shocked me. I gave them the original towels and finally got fresh towels.

Beautiful stay, good breakfast and super helpful receptionists!! Cleanliness and services were perfect! Location is the only setback as you almost have to climb a mini mountain to get to the hostel but once you’re up, it’s worth it all! Overall stay was great!

Pros: The hostel is located in a nice, green area. Flybussen goes near, and there is a shopping mall within 1.5 km. The room was surprisingly nice and big, heated floor in the bathroom. Cons: location on top of a hill is not the best for travelers. The breakfast was very basic. The condition of the hostel buildings would need improving.

Great Experience

My brother and I are backpacking through Europe and we stayed here for 1 night. It was out favorite spot we’ve stayed. Staff were very pleasant and the rooms were very clean. Temperature was nice and they gave us a room to our selves. The breakfast was also a nice addition, nothing over the top fancy but most places like this don’t even do that! If you’re just backpacking through, highly recommend!

Good hostel

It was a great to stay. What you expect from a hostel, with free lunch, you can't complain either. But it is near a main road which you can hear throughout the night and out of town. However, that isn't the hostels fault and public transport in Oslo is brilliant.

Great Budget Stay with Beautiful Views – But Plan for Transportation. I stayed at the HI Oslo Haraldsheim Hostel and had a comfortable and pleasant experience overall. The hostel offers a free breakfast each morning, which is a great way to start the day. There are also snacks and drinks available for purchase in the lobby. The rooms are clean and come with a sink, while restrooms and showers are located in separate shared spaces. Note that there are stairs to access different floors, so if you have mobility issues, it’s worth requesting a lower bunk or a more accessible room. One thing to keep in mind: the hostel is located in a residential neighborhood that doesn’t have any food options within walking distance. It’s also a bit far from the city center, so you’ll likely need to take a tram, taxi, or Uber to get around. On the plus side, the hostel has a large outdoor yard where guests can relax or enjoy a game of yard chess. Overall, it's a great value if you're comfortable with hostels and are okay with using public transport. I’d definitely stay here again with proper planning.
