We stayed at the Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre Oslo Airport for one night during an overnight layover in Oslo. This was part of our Chasing the Northern Lights trip, with an early morning flight the next day up to the Lofoten Islands.

Location

The hotel is directly connected to Oslo Airport via a covered walkway. From the arrivals hall, it takes approximately 5 to 8 minutes on foot.

This is a major advantage, especially in winter, since you wouldn’t need to wait for a shuttle bus or call a taxi. For short overnight stays or early departures, the location is about as practical as it gets.

Check-in

Check-in was pretty standard, though we had to wait for about five minutes before we were served.

The room

We booked a Standard Room which came with a king bed through an OTA. The room leaned heavily Nordic in style, with lots of wood finishes and a muted colour palette.

The room had a floor-to-ceiling window, though it was quite narrow, almost like an oversized emergency window. It faced the runway, and we could see aircraft taking off in the distance. Despite the airport tarmac view, the room was quiet.

A work desk was available. There was also a fridge, though it was not working during our stay. We had some skyr we picked up earlier in the trip and needed it stored overnight. After calling reception, we were told we could bring it down to the reception to store it with them, and pick it up the next morning.

Breakfast wasn’t included in our room rate, which is fine since we could access the SAS Domestic Lounge for breakfast.

Concluding thoughts

The Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre Oslo Airport is a convenient option for an overnight stay at Oslo Airport.

The covered walkway to the terminal is the main reason to stay here, and it works well for late arrivals and early departures, particularly in winter. The room was quiet despite facing the runway, which helped with rest before an early flight.

The stay was not without minor issues however. The non-working fridge was an annoyance for a one-night stop, especially when storing food overnight.

Overall, this is a sensible choice if you want to stay as close to the terminal as possible and keep transfers simple. It met our needs for a short layover before continuing on to the Lofoten Islands.
