Amerikalinjen Overview
Welcome to Amerikalinjen, a distinguished 3-star hotel nestled in the heart of Oslo, Norway. This charming establishment stands proudly at Jernbanetorget 2, a premier location that places guests at the crossroads of Oslo’s vibrant urban landscape. With an exceptional rating of 9.1, Amerikalinjen has established itself as one of the most highly-regarded accommodations in the city, consistently earning praise from travelers for its impeccable service, thoughtful amenities, and strategic location.
The hotel’s address at Jernbanetorget 2 positions guests in an enviable location directly adjacent to Oslo Central Station (Oslo S), making it an ideal choice for both business travelers and tourists seeking convenient access to transportation. This historic area serves as Oslo’s main transportation hub, where trains, buses, and the city’s efficient T-bane (metro) converge, offering seamless connections to every corner of the Norwegian capital and beyond. Just steps from the hotel’s entrance, guests will find themselves at the gateway to Karl Johans gate, Oslo’s bustling main street that leads to the Royal Palace, Parliament, and National Theatre.

What truly sets Amerikalinjen apart, as reflected in its outstanding 9.1 rating, is the thoughtful balance of comfort, style, and authentic Norwegian hospitality that permeates every aspect of the guest experience. The hotel’s name pays homage to the Norwegian American Line (Amerikalinjen), which once operated ships between Norway and the United States, connecting the two nations and facilitating the journey of countless Norwegian emigrants to America. This historical connection is subtly woven into the hotel’s design aesthetic, creating a space that honors Norway’s maritime heritage while embracing modern Scandinavian design principles. The attentive staff at Amerikalinjen pride themselves on delivering personalized service that anticipates guests’ needs while respecting the Nordic appreciation for efficiency and simplicity.

Staff at the front desk were very helpful from check in to checkout.Cristina from United States (10/10)
Great location, beautiful building, amazing staff and food was good. We stayed here for 4-5 days in the Fortuna Suite which I totally recommend. The shower was amazing. Can’t wait to stay here again
Nicole from United States (10/10)
I liked everything about this property – starting with the friendly & helpful staff. My room was comfortable, the hotel was centrally located, they offer cappuccinos at breakfast (not a self serve coffee machine), saunas were wonderful, and did I mention the wonderful staff??! I don’t take that last one for granted as it can definitely affect the trip. Each and every person – especially Katarina at the restaurant – was warm & friendly & helpful.
Andrew from United Kingdom (10/10)
Great location for the waterfront area, Opera and Munch Museum as well as easy walking to the main sights and neighbourhoods elsewhere. Interesting contemporary art collection.

Allison from United States (10/10)
Perfect location right near everything! The staff here is absolutely lovely, welcoming, and so incredibly helpful. The breakfast is so delicious and dinner at the restaurant was just the same. This was our second time staying here—and we will again!
