Soria Moria Hotell

Soria Moria Hotell Overview

First Impressions

Soria Moria Hotell is one of those places that genuinely surprises you. The name comes from a Norwegian fairy tale — a magical castle on the horizon — and honestly, arriving here feels a little like that. It sits up in the Voksenåsen hills above Oslo, surrounded by forest, and the moment you pull in, you get this sense that you’ve left the city behind without actually going very far. It’s a four-star hotel, but the setting gives it something that’s hard to put a price on.

Location & Neighborhood

The address is Voksenkollveien 60, which puts you in the Holmenkollen area — think pine trees, fresh air, and that distinctly Norwegian feeling of nature being right on your doorstep. Couples especially seem to love it here, and you can see why. It’s quiet and tucked away, but Oslo’s city center is still very reachable. There’s private parking on site too, which makes a real difference if you’re driving in or planning day trips around the region.

The Rooms

Sleep is something this hotel takes seriously, and you’ll notice it. The beds have picked up a lot of praise from guests, and I mean, it’s one of those things you don’t think about until you’re actually in one — properly comfortable, the kind where you wake up feeling like you actually rested. The rooms themselves have a calm, Nordic feel to them, nothing fussy, just well put together. It’s the sort of place where you close the curtains, hear nothing but forest, and genuinely switch off.

Breakfast

Breakfast here is a buffet, and it’s worth getting up for. There’s something about a proper Scandinavian spread in a setting like this — you’re looking out at the trees, the morning light is doing its thing, and there’s no rush. It sets the tone for the day in a way that a grab-and-go breakfast just doesn’t. I’d say factor it in if you’re booking, rather than skipping it to save a few euros.

Why Guests Love It

One thing that stood out to me is how many people come back here. Repeat guests are noticeably more common at Soria Moria than at most other hotels, and that’s usually a sign that a place is doing something right — not just ticking boxes, but actually delivering an experience worth repeating. The overall guest rating sits at 8.1, which is solid, and the location score from couples is even higher at 8.9. It’s not a flashy hotel trying to impress you with grand gestures. It’s a well-run, thoughtfully positioned four-star that understands its own appeal — the peace, the forest, the good night’s sleep, the honest breakfast. If you’re visiting Oslo and you want something a bit different from the standard city-center stay, this is genuinely worth considering.

Hotels near me in Oslo deliver tram rides to ski slopes, harbor saunas, and contemporary art galleries in Tjuvholmen.
