Voksenasen Hotell; Best Western Signature Collection

Voksenasen Hotell; Best Western Signature Collection Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, Voksenasen Hotell; Best Western Signature Collection caught me off guard in the best way possible. You know what I wasn’t expecting? A four-star hotel that feels this connected to nature while still being part of Oslo. The moment you pull up to this place in Voksenkollen, you realize you’re somewhere special — it’s perched up on a hill with views that’ll make you forget you’re technically still in the city. The hotel’s elevated position offers a rare combination of urban proximity and natural immersion that sets it apart from typical city accommodations.

Location & Getting Around

The location is actually brilliant if you want the best of both worlds. You’re about 20 minutes from central Oslo, but you’re surrounded by forest trails and ski slopes that locals use year-round. What really sold me was the ski-to-door access — I mean, how often do you find that? Even in summer, the hiking trails start practically from the hotel’s doorstep. The private parking is a huge plus too, especially since finding a spot in downtown Oslo can be a nightmare. This accessibility to outdoor recreation makes it an ideal base for nature enthusiasts visiting the region.

The Room Experience

My room had this clean, Nordic design that didn’t feel sterile — more like staying at a very stylish Norwegian friend’s place. The windows were massive, and I spent way too much time just staring out at the forest canopy. The beds are seriously comfortable, and there’s something about the quiet up here that makes you sleep better than you have in months. You’ll notice the attention to detail in things like the lighting and how everything just works without being fussy about it. Each room reflects thoughtful Scandinavian principles that prioritize both comfort and aesthetic simplicity.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast buffet deserves its own mention — it’s one of those spreads that makes you want to skip lunch entirely. Fresh Norwegian salmon, local cheeses, and bread that’s actually baked on-site showcase regional ingredients and culinary care. The restaurant has this cozy atmosphere with floor-to-ceiling windows, so you’re basically dining in a treehouse. I noticed a lot of repeat guests during my stay, and after eating here a few times, I totally get why people keep coming back. The dining experience here emphasizes quality and authenticity rather than pretension.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something about this place that just clicks with people — especially couples, apparently. The staff mentioned they see the same faces year after year, which tells you everything you need to know about the experience. It’s that rare hotel where you feel like you’re escaping the city without actually leaving it behind. Whether you’re here for the outdoor activities or just want a peaceful base for exploring Oslo, Voksenasen hits that sweet spot between accessibility and retreat that’s honestly hard to find. The combination of natural surroundings, attentive service, and thoughtful design creates a memorable stay that guests consistently return to experience again.

  The room was very clean and cozy with a great view. The breakfast was delicious with different types of food and we enjoyed the warm atmosphere. There were also some relaxing rooms with romantic lights and cozy sofas.

• Mcilvar from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The staff were very friendly and cheerful. The atmosphere was very relaxed. I liked the fact that room cleaning was by request. I don't need my room cleaned every day. I usually find it a bit stressful in other hotels when there are cleaners banging about outside the door and I just want to lounge in my room.. Not here though. I always felt relaxed.

• Katherine from Australia (9/10)

  Thank you to the staff for your warm welcome and for creating a calm relaxing atmosphere. We loved our stay at Voksenåsen. The hotel is an aesthetic delight: from the architecture and art to the stunning sunrise over Oslo from the breakfast room, it does not disappoint.
  The room was cosy and had everything we needed. We took public transport here, an effortless trip from the city.
