Hostels in Norway
Hostels.com currently works with 18 hostels throughout Norway. Two main hostel chains run the majority of properties here. These are VIP Backpackers Resorts International and Hostelling International. In Norway, Hostelling International looks after 70 hostels. Of these 26 are open all year round and the rest are seasonal, mostly open during the summer months.
Sometimes referred to as 'Vandrarhem', hostels in Norway used to be very much orientated towards self-catering. In fact, an extra charge would be imposed if you didn't clean your own room before departure. However, this rule has now been relaxed in most properties.
Bed linen is generally not included in the price at Norwegian hostels. You can either bring your own or rent some at the hostel.
