The Cochs Pension is located in a fun neighborhood with plenty of shopping and eating available. From this location my husband and I were able to walk to all of the places in Oslo that we wanted to visit but we spent a lot of time walking. Oslo is an amazing city with so much to see and it is...

Cochs Pensjonat (Cochs Pension) is located in a safe neighborhood across from The Royal Palace and Slottsparken. The Nationaltheatret T-bane station is a few minutes' walk across Slottsparken, but be aware that the walk from the metro station to Cochs Pensjonat is slightly uphill. Most convenient is to use the Trikk (trams) as Cochs Pensjonat is located very close to... More

I could not find a hostel in Oslo, and hotels are an expensive alternative. I ended up reserving at CP for 2 nights in a single room with shared bath. The location was great, a walk through the palace gardens plops you right into the downtown, and there are several bars and cafes in the area. The room was clean... More

We recently stayed for 3 nights at Coch's and found the hotel to be very clean and affordable in the notoriously expensive city of Oslo. The staff was helpful, offering us some dishes and pots to use for our stay (our room came with a hot plate and fridge; we ended up making most of our meals in the room!)... More

Cochs Pension may be in a great location, but we didn't feel comfortable there at all. Being greeted at reception by staff behind a screen, it felt like we were arriving at a hospital. The staff weren't friendly & this being our 1st night in Norway it was all rather disappointing. The rooms were small, cramped and stuffy. The noise... More

we stayed here in June 2012.Upon arrival we got a room with street view. Good size, with something resembling a kitchenette, except that you were not allowed to actually cook in the room. At the time of our stay major road works were carried out in the street which made a hell of a noise. We complained and immediately got... More

This old, charmy hotel, with a friendly and service-minded staff, let you have the possibility of staying in the heart of Oslo for a cheap amount. Some rooms have fridge and cooking opportunities, so by staying here you can also save some money on the food budget. Otherwise you can have your morning coffee at the coffee house downstairs (Kaffebrenneriet),... More

Oslo is expensive so I do appreciate this budget option. I think had I requested a room on the quiet side of the hotel I would have had a very different experience. As it was, I got almost no sleep. The windows are old and do not fit properly; the outdoor traffic noise was terrible. It was clean and the... More

Oslo is a ridiculously, stratospherically expensive city, and we felt extremely fortunate to have found Cochs Pensjonat and its post-3:45 Bruce Springsteen show numb feet-warming friendly staff for a song (I'd pick "Hungry Heart"). We paid the rack rate of NOK 780 (USD 132) for a standard room for two with private bathroom, fridge and TV in a very clean,... More
