The #1 place in Oslo for serious Travel Bug exchanges.
The Jumpoff Bug Hotel welcomes travel bugs leaving or arriving in
Norway. Conveniently located near one of Oslo's must-see
attractions, a business visit to the hotel may be easily combined
with sightseeing.

Initial room facilities include unsurpassed views of the
Holmenkollen ski jump, complimentary mosquito repellent,
stationery, Chinese art, deluxe log, pen and standard info
note.
Basic hotel space is 25x18x6 centimetres, sufficient for most bugs.
Extra space can be made available for large guests. Please notifiy
the management well in advance. Good parking and suburban train
station available nearby. Trains marked "Frognerseteren" leave
Majorstuen station several times every hour most days. Get off at
Holmenkollen station.
Important notes: The hotel is located safely within the security
fence. Do not attempt to climb over or crawl under the fence while
looking for the hotel entrance.
Also, beware of abundant geomuggles. It is suggested that you move
away from the hiding place after grabbing the cache and do your
logging and trading further north.
The owner of the nearest house has been informed of possible
hunting in the area and voiced no objections, as long as visitors
do not open his gate. Please do not enter his property.
A final thought: Some TBs have very specific goals in life. Add
a note or a mission statement to your bug if this is the case. You
cannot rely on random hotel visitors to know the destination of
your bug.
Likewise, visitors are asked to think twice before grabbing a bug -
you don't want to take it to the North Pole if it really wants
Pangandaran, Indonesia.
Warning: The hint will tell you the exact location of the
hotel.

It appears the hotel will close for renovations. Thanks to pjacklam for acting swiftly, saving the cache.

This cache is unavailable! Since I was in the area anyway, I climbed the fence to rescue the two caches "The Holmenkollen Jumpoff Bug Hotel" (GCG96A) and "Troll's view in Holmenkollen" (GCRTGD) before they were destroyed by forestry machines, bulldozers and dynamite.
