Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station is a no-frills, design-forward budget hotel on Fred Olsens gate, a short walk from Jernbanetorget and Oslo Central Station. Run by the Nordic group Strawberry, it offers travelers a practical, affordable base where trains, trams, and the city center meet (source: Strawberry).
The Xpress concept keeps things lean, with fast self-service check-in, compact rooms, and few extras. The property has about 195 non-smoking rooms with modern, minimalist interiors. Each room includes air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi, and select rooms have balconies. A lounge bar on the ground floor works well for a quick drink or for laptop work after a day of meetings (source: Hotel-DS). Guests regularly praise the location more than the room size, so solo travelers and business guests who pack light will feel most at home.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Rates climb during summer, around December holiday markets, and on weekdays with major conferences. Booking early and joining Strawberry’s loyalty program often secures better prices. Flytoget airport express trains reach Oslo Gardermoen from Oslo S in roughly 20 minutes. The Oslo Opera House, the shops on Karl Johans gate, and the cafés of Grünerløkka are all easy to reach on foot or by tram (source: Hotels.com).
