Perminalen Hotel sits on Øvre Slottsgate in central Oslo, a short walk from Oslo Cathedral, Karl Johans gate, and Stortorvet, and about ten minutes on foot from Oslo Central Station (Oslo S). The building traces its roots to a military and merchant marine guest house, and that heritage still shows in the property's straightforward, functional character rather than any attempt at boutique styling.

A reliable, no-frills budget hotel near Oslo S operated originally as a military and merchant marine guest house. Clean, simple rooms at excellent central Oslo prices.

Perminalen Hotel sits on Øvre Slottsgate in central Oslo, a short walk from Oslo Cathedral, Karl Johans gate, and Stortorvet, and about ten minutes on foot from Oslo Central Station (Oslo S). The building traces its roots to a military and merchant marine guest house, and that heritage still shows in the property's straightforward, functional character rather than any attempt at boutique styling. Rooms range from small single and double budget rooms to slightly larger doubles and triples, most with private bathrooms, simple furnishings, desks, and blackout curtains suited to travelers who want a clean, quiet base rather than extra frills. There is no in-house restaurant, but a breakfast buffet is available for an additional charge, and the surrounding Sentrum district is packed with cafes, bakeries, and restaurants covering every budget within a few minutes' walk. The hotel has no spa, pool, or fitness center, keeping the focus on affordable, central accommodation. Service is delivered through a 24-hour reception desk, useful for late arrivals or early departures, and staff are accustomed to a mixed clientele of budget travelers, solo visitors, and groups rather than a business or luxury crowd. Luggage storage is available for guests arriving before check-in or departing after checkout, and the hotel's location makes it a practical base for exploring Oslo's historic core, the Royal Palace, and the harbor area on foot.
