Lillestrøm Apartments

The location is very convenient with a short distance between the airport and Oslo centre. It's just outside the train station and a few minutes walk to the Nova Spektrum. The hotel has an excellent breakfast and the room was nicely outfitted with a suitable gym. My Scandic Friends benefits were not recognised for my F&B purchases even though I shared my member number several times with the reception and restaurant staff and was assured it would be done.

This was a great hotel. The room was good, as was the gym and the pool. The range of breakfast items was one of the most amazing I have ever seen. There was literally everything you could think of (apart from alcohol - well, this is not Spain!!). Some of the hot foods (turkey meatballs and fried eggs) were a little on the cold side on two of our four mornings at the hotel, but, to be fair, they were topped up with fresh items for later customers so I guess we were just at the wrong time. However, I went back to the breakfast bar on a couple of occasions and had more than enough to eat. The hotel restaurant is temporarily closed. I’m not sure whether this meant upstairs or the small brasserie by the bar area, as both were closed. Food was available from the bar, though the menu is quite limited (about 4 items, I recall). We opted for the fish and chips. It has to be one of the best fish and chips we had eaten in a long time. It was so good that we had it on our second night at the hotel. Unfortunately, the bar is not open at any time on Sunday, so that meant nothing to drink nor eat. Fortunately, we were invited to a barbecue on that night so didn’t miss out on food. The hotel is well located and the area felt very safe. The railway station is literally five minutes away, as is the bus terminal. We also walked into the centre of Lillestrøm one day. That only took about 12 minutes and was fairly straightforward. All, in all, a good stay at a great price. Highly recommended.
