Location
Cochs Pensjonat is located right in the middle of Oslo. The Royal Palace is 350 meters from the door, and Karl Johans Gate shopping street is a 10-minute walk away.
The surrounding streets have plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. The famous restaurant Lorry is located right across the street.
Next door is The House of Literature (Litteraturhuset), with a pleasant café and exciting event calendar. A few meters away is the classic restaurant Park 29, housed in Oslo's oldest wooden villa built in 1847.
Bogstadveien is Norway’s biggest, longest and best shopping street, reaching from right outside our entrance and all the way up to Majorstuen.
Majorstuen is a quick tram ride away, and from there it’s a short walk to get to the famous Vigelandsparken.
The nearest tram stop is Welhavens gate. From here the tram goes up towards Majorstua or down towards the city.
We are proud of our neighborhood, and are always happy to give advice for those who wish to explore the area.
