Where to Stay in Central Oslo: St. Hanshaugen, Bjørvika and More

Choosing where to stay in central Oslo

Oslo is compact, and most central neighbourhoods are within walking distance or a short tram ride of each other. Still, each area has its own character. Here is a short guide to the areas where Chimera Eiendom has furnished apartments – and what makes each one a good base.

St. Hanshaugen and Bislett

Green, charming and lively, St. Hanshaugen is one of Oslo's most popular residential areas. The park of the same name, local cafés and restaurants along Ullevålsveien, and easy access to Bislett and the city centre make it a favourite for both short and long stays. Our studios at Colletts gate 33 are located here – private, modern studios for one or two people. See availability.

Bjørvika and Oslo Central Station

Bjørvika is Oslo's modern waterfront, home to the Opera House, the Munch Museum and Deichman library. With Oslo Central Station, the Bus Terminal and the airport train close by, it is ideal for business travellers and anyone who wants to be close to everything. Our top-floor one-bedroom apartment at Rubina Ranas gate 3 has a private balcony and is within walking distance of all of this. See availability.

Central Oslo east – Mandalls gate

East of the city centre you will find a diverse and vibrant area with great food, shops and quick connections by metro, tram and bus. Our co-living home at Mandalls gate 14 is here, offering furnished private rooms in a shared apartment – perfect if you want an affordable, social base in the city. See availability.

Short stay or long stay?

All our homes are available for both short-term rental and long-term rental. They are fully furnished, and you can sign your contract the same day with no deposit.
