50 NOK extra on your bill”

Everything is fine like normal hostel. It was so nice that when I arrive early and ask if I can check in earlier. The staff gave me choices, either check in now in mixed dorm or check in later in female dorm. I chose the latter one but it is something extra so I am grateful for it. However, it is non-sense for them to charge 50 NOK extra for bedsheets cause it is the responsibility for hostels to provide basic things for the customers. It will make more sense for them to charge for cooking utilities instead of basic bedsheets if you ask me. At the same time, they dont allow people sleeping with no bedsheets. Even though they allow people bringing their own bedsheets, but I mean who will do that and who want to do that? There is no notice about it before I come too. For those who interested in this "budgeted" hostel, please add 50 NOK more on the bill for your consideration or "bring you own bedsheets, I mean the whole set".

Less than 10 mins walk to Oslo Central Station. The neighbourhood was run down, which is surprising since the ‘nice’ areas were just one street away. They charge NOK 50 per person for bed sheets (mandatory!!!) NOK 20 per person for towels (optional). Staff were fine, room was spacious and clean but basic. There were no floor mats even for the bathroom. You really get what you pay for.
