Gamlebyen Hotell Fredrikstad

Ideally situated along the captivating cobblestone streets of historic Old Fredrikstad, just an hour south of Oslo, Gamlebyen Hotell Fredrikstad is a small gem of a hotel in one of Scandinavia’s oldest and best-preserved fortified towns, which can be traced back to 1567. The structure itself dates to 1835 when it was constructed as a home for one of the community’s successful merchants. Today, Gamlebyen Hotell Fredrikstad retains its homelike charm, boasting only 17 cozy guestrooms (including two suites), each differently decorated with their own unique aesthetic.

Nestled in Fredrikstad’s Old Town a mere 150 meters from the ferry pier, this hotel is convenient to the patchwork of quaint shops, eclectic art galleries, fascinating museums, and bustling markets that call atmospheric Gamlebyen home. Complimentary bicycles are available for guests looking for a low-key way to explore. Alternatively, those wanting to leave the confines of Fredrikstad’s historic heart behind can also embark on an easy drive or bus ride to the nearby Hvaler archipelago, which, along with abundant wildlife and pristine beaches, also boasts Ytre Hvaler National Park, Norway’s first marine national park.
