Choosing the right hotel for your visit to Oslo is about more than just a comfortable bed. It’s about location, access to amenities, and the opportunity to enjoy peace and quiet without being too far from the heart of the city. But why choose a hotel outside Oslo itself? Here we dive into the benefits and why X Hotel could be the perfect choice for both families and travelers seeking comfort and flexibility.
Oslo is a fantastic city, but like all major cities, it can feel both crowded and hectic. By staying just outside the city centre, like at X Hotel, you get a completely different experience. Here are a few reasons why it’s a great choice:
Peaceful surroundings: Perfect for families and business travellers looking to unwind after a busy day.
Better value: Hotels on the outskirts of Oslo often offer more for your money compared to accommodation options in the city centre.
Easy parking: Unlike downtown Oslo, where parking can be both expensive and hard to find, X Hotel provides spacious parking options right by the hotel.
One of X Hotel’s biggest advantages is its strategic location at Hellerudsletta, perfectly positioned between Oslo city centre and Gardermoen Airport. Here, you have easy access to everything you need, whether it’s the city’s attractions or the convenience of the airport.
Short travel time to Oslo: In just 15 minutes by car, you’re right in central Oslo. This makes the hotel an ideal base for exploring landmarks like the Opera House, Vigeland Park, and Akershus Fortress.
Convenient for air travellers: For frequent flyers, the ability to reach the airport quickly and easily is invaluable.
Close to Lillestrøm: Just a short drive away, you’ll find this charming town offering shopping, restaurants, and cultural experiences.
One of the most frustrating things about staying in Oslo is finding parking. Cramped parking garages, high fees, and limited spaces can quickly turn a pleasant trip into a stressful experience. So why not choose a hotel where parking isn’t a problem?
What does X Hotel offer?
Tip: If you’re planning a day trip to Oslo, you can easily leave your car behind and take public transport into the city to avoid parking hassles.
Planning a family getaway? Then you know it’s not just about finding a comfortable hotel, it’s about finding one that works for the whole family. X Hotel is designed with exactly that in mind.

Spacious rooms: The hotel offers high chairs, baby cots, and a playful atmosphere, making it easy for parents to relax.

Located just a short drive from the hotel, Lillestrøm is the perfect destination for a day trip. Here are a few highlights you won’t want to miss:
