Anker Hostel Reviews

Is not the best Hostel but is a good Hostel. Is a 5/10 min walking from the Central Station. The neighborhood is not the most beautiful.

First of all: this is a very good hostel. I guess the best in Oslo.Location: Perfect, we usually walked to the centre (5 minutes for the main train/bus station, same to the Cathedral), but you can also find the bus/tram stop in front of the Hostel. We booked a 6 beds room, we stayed in a 8 beds rooms but 2 of them were empty, so we had what we booked. Only issue is that no lockers are available in the rooms. Bed linden not included but this is properlyhighlighted in the website.

At Anker Hostel they see hostelling strictly as business - just another way to earn money. The hostel has no character and lacks atmosphere. Ensuite bathroom is nice to have, but wasn't very clean nor well maintained. Beds are good. Staff is not unfriendly, but seem quite dulled by routine. I wouldn't recommend, though this review is based on a 1-night stay only. Just a place to bunk; expect nothing more.

Good place to stay, close to the action, be ready to pay for sheets thou.

Missed internet in the bedroom and more toilets. The one downstairs is dirty and insufficient. I suggest a kitchen for everybody and breakfast.

The location was really great, next to the central station. Also, it was easy to walk anywhere. The staff was nice. I had a nice stay.

Good location - only two stops from the Central train/bus station, 20 minutes by foot from the main sightseeings. Be ready to pay extra money for linen!

The hostel is very good, nice rooms, nice area, nice staff. The best in Oslo

A basic hostel but without a common room (besides the lobby). The dorm rooms have their own bathrooms, fridges and a stove. The lack of lockers in the room was a negative thing. Also the internet could have worked also elsewhere besides the lobby area. All in all the hostel is a decent value for the money and it's quite centrally located.

I have no more comments regarding this hostel since I never stay in due to cancellation. However, I get a good impression because every communication we undertake is satisfying me.

Reasonable location a few minutes walk from the bus/train station and from the city centre. Staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about sites and areas worth seeing and some recommendations for areas for those on a tighter budget (as the city is quite expensive). Room was found acceptably neat and tidy, and the bathrooms were subpar (the sewage scent wafting from the toilet notwithstanding). Common area downstairs was humdrum, the only socializing apparent was between facebook friends.

I would like to have free wifi in the room so we don't have to go to the hall for it.

Anker hostel is a good,cheap(for oslo),friendly and clean hostel,iv stayed here a few times and never had any dramas. the kitchen, toilet and shower in each room is exellent,atmosphere is genrally chilled out. would recomend to others and stay again.

Me and my wife stayed at Anker for 2 Nights. The Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The Location is perfect and we had a great time walking around the city. Good staff and a good experience. Only problem that I felt, not all rooms get a decent WiFi connectivity. Else, all is great.

Please make it possible to take a shower in the common rooms! Thanks!

Good and quite cheap... for Oslo :)

Should not charge extra for sheets or should make it obvious when you book.

Overall, the room is clean, especially the bathroom. We booked a twin private room, and get a 8 ppl private room (i.e. me, my friend and 6 empty beds + kitchen + toilet). There is no cookware in the "kitchen", so dont expect to make your own meal. The location is good, walk-able distance to city center.

The facilities were spot on. The reception staff were great. Really friendly. Everything you could want in the way of kitchen stuff/adapters/bedding were all available for hire/deposit. The room (8 bed mixed dorm) was spacious and benefitted from an ensuite which I thought was unusual but a nice touch. I would definitely recommend this hostel to others!

Some of the staff were really unfriendly. The bathroom and kitchen in the room really needed cleaning...
