Oslo Hostel/Hotel Apartments Reviews

I thought there was an age limit on this hostel and we had a couple 60 year olds in our apartment which just wasn't the environment we were looking for at being 21 and 22 years old. Other than that it was good. The internet was very poor and the codes didn't really work that well.

Large rooms with kitchen, bedrooms and a complete bathroom. Just a few stations away from the Nationalteatret

This is like a hostel, but it is small apartments! There are a kitchen, bathroom and room! It`s very clean and silence. The reception is in a Hotel, in front of the apartments! The apartments is about 15min from the city center from Oslo, walking! I recommended it!

Oslo is expensive; I get that. This place looks reasonably priced until they hit you with a bill for linen (50 NOK) upon arrival, and then another for Wi-Fi (10 NOK a day). It's certainly not as reasonable then and seems deceptive. We had to pass 4 doors to get into the room which seemed like excellent security before we learnt inside that an easily accessible window didn't close properly. Look, it's comfortable enough, but certainly not a hostel. I'd look harder in Oslo.

We stayed at the appartament and we had to take both linen (which we already knew we'd have to) and towels which is not clearly stated at their hostelworld.com profile. Therefore the cost of the hotel/hostel is not transparent, which I don't approve of.

The location is not very good, the staff is not friendly, they charge lines and the wireless is NOT free. It is not a good option to stay in Oslo.

It's not fair to charge extra money for the towels and the sheets... It should be written on the Internet site when we book ! It's already very expensive for a Youth Hostel (actually it's not, it's already a normal hostel...). But apart this the rooms are very clean and comfortable, thanks.

This hostel is DEFINITELY NOT 5 minutes away from downtown/city centre. Also, you have to pay extra for bed linen. Very small "apartment", very clean.

It's one of the cheapest things you can get in Oslo. I stayed in the 6-bed dorm and it was OK for sleeping, but the bathroom is full of mold.

I expected more for that money

Good hostel, but like all Oslo, everythink is very expensive...and have more 50krones for linnen, this is not included in price and is obligatory.

I feel really dissapointed. They say it is the cheapest place in Oslo but they don't say directly (it's hidden in every site when you try to book, written in small letters, not explicit) that you have to pay 70 NOK per person (mandatory) for towels and linen. It's a trick to make the price look lower. Plus, when you complain they are not Oslo Hotel Appartments but Best Western and they don't have complaint forms. I will go to Bureau of Consumer Protection.

Rude staff. They are not customer friendly. We had to pay extra 50 NOK each for linens! The stupid thing is they spent a huge amount of money on large refrigerators, huge LCD and furniture that is not needed at all. If you're ever there you will see what I mean. . Who charges for linens?! Isn't that something you are expected to have in the night you pay?? They did not disclose that beforehand and say it is Hostelworld's fault! Beware. Not worth it, I prefer paying a little bit more elsewhere!

12 euros for compulsory sheets!! We had sleeping bags and still had to pay 12 euros for the sheets, and iv never heard of that, and it wasn't in the terms and conditions. unfriendly service. Cold and not private rooms.

The welcoming wasn't really nice and on top we had to wait an hour and a half (after the check-in time) to get the room cleaned. The shared apartment wasn't appropriated at all. The wall are absolutely thin. We could hear our neighbours drinking, puking, and even sleeping because of snorring and squeaking bed. We also had to pay a deposit of 2000 NOK not indicated on the website.It was either this or to leave our credit card's information.

Horrible customer service with this HOTEL. Not a hostel at all.

Staff don't care about you. They don't show the room. Staff is polite but shows a indifference to you. The room had no toilet paper, no keys for the inside doors and no soap. There was no wall close to the ceiling between the "common room" and our room such as we had no private life. The old bed linen were not removed

The stay was perfect but our room was located near to the entrance so we heard all the people coming in and out.

I was staying there completely alone which I kind of liked but obviously doesn't create an atmosphere. Had a full kitchen and bathroom facility with a good location and decent wifi. Only worth a stay if you can sacrifice atmosphere. Otherwise no real issues.

It is expensive for what you can get in most places in Europe but on par for Norway.
