How To Find Rooms & Apartments In Oslo & Norway

If you’re moving to Oslo, one of the major hurdles is finding and renting an apartment or room. Let’s have a look at your options if you’re trying to find housing in Oslo.

Ideally, you want to have your local Norwegian ID and bank account, as it may simplify the process.

However, it’s obviously also possible to move to Oslo without a local ID and rent and pay from a foreign bank account.

How To Rent A Room In Oslo / Norway?

These two online platforms are really all you need to find a room in Oslo.

Hybel

Modern, and easy to use, Hybel is my recommended option for students and people looking for a shared flat or student apartments in Oslo.

Also very good at finding studios or ‘hybel‘ which are usually compact 1-bedroom apartments or basements.

Overall feels very safe, users (both owners and renters) can create a profile, and then communicate with owners directly.

Finn

Whether you need to rent a room in Bergen or buy a pair of cross-country skis, Finn is a great choice.

Finn is one of the largest online marketplaces in Scandinavia, and it’s a really powerful tool to find rooms, but I’d say mainly full apartments.
