Getting to Sommerro from Oslo Gardermoen Airport is simple and convenient. Guests can take the Express Airport Train directly to Nationaltheateret station, which is just 300 meters from the hotel — making it one of the fastest and most comfortable options. For those who prefer to drive, guests can follow Lufthavnvegen onto the E6, then take the E18 towards Dronning Mauds gate in Sentrum, before continuing along Henrik Ibsens gate through Frogner to Solli Plass. Car rental options are also available through Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz, and Sixt, with pricing varying by company and rental duration. Taxis are another option, with rates varying by season and booking method.
To ensure a seamless stay, Sommerro requires that reservations be cancelled or modified no later than 6:00 PM hotel time on the day of arrival to avoid a fee equivalent to one night's stay including taxes. No-show reservations are also subject to a charge of one night's stay including taxes. All reservations must be guaranteed with a valid credit card at the time of booking, as non-guaranteed reservations are not accepted. We recommend reviewing the specific rate rules at the time of booking, as conditions may vary by rate plan.
