Comfort Hotel RunWay

8/10 Good
"I didn't realize how far it was from the airport. It is NOT walking distance - you have to take a bus that comes approximately every 30-40 minutes and csta about $4 USD per person each way (kids under 18 are free on weekends!) The hotel offers a shuttle which costs double that (not sure of schedule because we took the city bus to save money). Hotel was fine, we got to airport in plenty of time for an early flight. Easier than trying to get to airport early from Oslo 45 min away. They had basic cold breakfast items available starting at 4 am (hot breakfast doesn't start until 2-3 hours later)."
