Oslo offers a variety of five-star, four-star, three-star, and two-star hotels both for budget and luxury travellers. The city's luxury hotels are usually located in the city centre, or very near Oslo's shopping centres, restaurants, and museums. They offer facilities like swimming pools, saunas, bars, gyms, and parking. The city's less expensive accommodation is normally found farther from the city centre. This is usually smaller hotels and so-called bed and breakfast inns.
