Anker Hostel Reviews

No much common space to meet people, only the reception area, will be great they have a common kitchen!.. Staff very friendly and helpful, it's the best feature of Anker Hostel.

Great hotel, good price for Oslo. We had a security issue though... A girl in the room (drunk) let 2 big guys enter the hostel and smoke/drink in our room. It was disgusting and unsafe. That shouldn't happen/ Otherwise, nice and reactive staff, clean facilities and quiet place.

Good hostel but the breakfast was terrible! Coffee was cold, bread was old, no juice etc..

Had a great time at the hostel. Most of the other residents prefer to sit on their laptops rather than socialise but the staff make up for that by being great to have a chat with and laugh.

I stayed in an 8-bed dorm room for three nights - pretty forgettable, as far as I'm concerned. The location is nothing to write home about, though Oslo isn't huge, so walking really isn't a big deal. The staff were all really helpful though, which was nice. The bathroom was pretty underwhelming. Water went everywhere whenever anyone had a shower, and the toilet is in the drainage zone, so there always was a moat around it. No lockers for bags, either. Anker was okay, but really nothing great.

Most things are within walking distance, which is great. Staff - very helpful and there was some decent music being played in the lounge:) Just remember to bring your padlocks (and bed linen maybe) as there are no lockers in the rooms and you need to use ones in the reception. Overall, it's an OK hostel, has everything that should have, but it's still pretty average as it lacks some extra facilities and atmosphere. Would recommend it though, I suppose it offers good value for money in Oslo:)

It is a nice place to stay, near the train station and the Karl. I didn't like the fact that there is only toilet in the room and all 7 room mates can hear every little detail of what you are doing inside... :(

NIce hostel with an excellent location and confortable.
