Accommodation for 4 in Oslo
My partner and I and a friend from work (and his partner) will be heading to Oslo for 2 nights mid-December and are looking at reasonable (read: cheap as possible) accommodation.
Are we likely to get a better deal with a 2 bedroom apartment vs 2 hotel rooms? I've found varying degrees in terms of pricing and quality.

Check the Thon Hotels website - they offer a good range of accommodations at different price points (be sure to look for their web-only rates), along with a good choice of locations:

I know the Thon Opera (due to its location at the Main Station and across from the Opera House). It's good; however, as Thon lists it within their "Conference' level, it won't be the least expensive.

I too know the Thon Opera in Oslo & regard it as one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. Superb location (especially for the train traveller), wonderful breakfast and great rooms etc.
I usually try to stay there on Friday & Saturday nights. Being a "Business" hotel, there are great savings to be made these nights when the "Suits" leave town!!!

I ended up booking a secret hotel on lastminute.com which turned out to be http://www.scandichotels.com/sjolyst ; it's a little out of town but should be easy enough to get to the main places we want to see by bus/metro. Now to just work out the most efficient way of doing so (and getting there from RYG)!

Plenty of buses to the hotel + a tram line, but no metro.
