The site is under construction.
There is a scaffolding all around the property with workmen present from an early time (6am). Early wake up and no privacy (not to mention no views) were not what I had in mind when booking.

Our apartment was clean and spacious, with all necessary equipment in the kitchen - a notable fact that we had our own washing machine in the apartment was something we very much appreciated.
Overall a great stay!

This should be at least worth 4 stars…and I’m not usually a moaner….
But, the whole of the front of the building is currently covered in scaffolding and white polythene sheet, the windows are also covered in polythene. So no view and restricted light. I understand maintenance has to be done but if this was communicated we could have made a choice not to stay there. Maintenance inside is very poor, shower control was dodgy, half the downlighters didn’t work, no instructions on heating or cooling and to top it all the WiFi didn’t work meaning I used up my data allowance. We rang up the helpline but said sorry it’s the weekend! So can’t recommend as it looks like the front will be covered for some months.

Truly like having an apartment in the city. We got tired long ago of going out to eat every afternoon and night. Here we prepped lunches and cooked dinners on most nights (we stayed for a week.) There was also a washer for our clothes (no dryer, but a drying rack and plenty of living-room space worked well). The only downside is that Oslo has no sound ordinances, and people rev no-muffler motorcycles throughout the night until 4am in the summer that would get them arrested in any other sane city.

We booked two 2x bedroom apartments. One was way smaller than the other, but the smaller one I stayed in 404, first night I got bites all over my body which the pharmacist said were mites or bed begs but the cleaner checked and found no trace in the linen. I was moved to a bigger apartment which was way cleaner and way more comfy which was appreciated but just not a great way to start a trip hence the average review. The staff were helpful but still annoying that I got a reaction like that.

Would recommend this apartment to everyone. Better than expected in every way. Steps away from the opera house, Oslo S and fortress.

Only hiccup was the key lock is a bit unreliable. Better choice of technology would easily fix it.

Check in was near Royal palace and national gallery. Left luggages at the check in office for early check in and spent time at those places

Great apartment, centrally located.

This apartment was spacious, clean, modern and located in the center of Oslo, within walking distance of the water, the central train and bus stations and shopping district. My only beef was that check in was at advertised as at 1500 on the Expedia site (late, in my opinion), then 1600 was the time quoted by the office managing the property....and it wasn't ready even then. Otherwise, it was a great deal and we enjoyed it greatly.

Stolen 750 dollars/4490 nok from my visa, terrible

Initially i was mistakenly charged twice for this appartment. The vendor then pretended to initiate a refund but then went silent and has kept the outstanding money to date, so far lost 750 bucks, 4490 nok not refunded. This is same as theft so stay well clear of thus one. I am still trying to get money back through official channels. I have all the evidence should they complain, expedia haven't dealt with it yet either. They can have all the evidence, shoud they need it any way, after all this is their client and they sell their product. Needs to be sorted. Happilly look forward to speaking with them on this.
About the room then. The 45 minute walk to check in is a joke. The site is like a building site, plaster and crap everywhere, filthy. The lights are on timers that just don't work. Just avoid .

The kitchen was well-equipped with everything one needs to feel at home (coffee maker, kettle, oven, microwave, dishwasher, pots, dishes, glasses, etc.). It was perfect for us that wanted to cook our own pasta before the race.

Beautiful, central, modern apartment in Oslo

The apartment was even better than in the photos. It had ample space for our family of 4 (parents and 2 adult children). The location was central, within walking distance to a number of top sights in Oslo like the Oslo Opera, Cathedral, City Hall and the Nobel Peace Center, as well as shopping and restaurants. Also just around the block was a small convenience store. The only challenge for us was that the apartment office for check-in was not at the same location but was about a 15-20 minute walk away. The walk itself was not bad at all but we had large suitcases and it was raining. Just as Oslo Apts recommended, the SAS Bus (Flybussen) stops right across from the hotel office, and is the most affordable option to/from the airport.

Good location.

Good location close to Oslo central station, the Opera House and Water front. Small windows looked out onto central courtyard, so quite dark inside apartment. Kitchen reasonably well equipped. Wished it had a tumble dryer as it was difficult to dry our laundry in the drying room. Also a hair dryer and some hand soap would have been helpful in the bathroom. The check-in office is quite far away so you have to go there first, and then travel to the apartment. Would be okay if you were a couple with minimal luggage.

Very nice hotel but very noisy at night

This apartment was excellent in terms of location and overall amenities. The only reason this is not rated a high 4 or 5 is because it is on a busy street and it is very noisy at night. It was not as bad with the windows closed but in the summer we needed to keep them open to cool down the apartment. This was our only concern with the apartment. Had a 2 bedroom it was excellent for 3 people.

Large fully self contained apartment with separate bedroom, lounge area, kitchen and table/ chairs for meals. Good size bathroom with washer and dryer. Quiet street with blackout curtains, needed in Scandinavian summers with long hours of daylight. Many choices for coffee, snacks, breakfast necessities within a few minutes walk.

Great apartment

Firstly, if you want to walk into a reception and walk straight to your room, this is not the hotel for you. On arrival into Oslo central train station, I purchased a tram ticket and caught the tram (with my luggage) four stops to check in at the reception desk. Then I caught the tram again, 3-4 stops to get back to the apartment. Frustrating... absolutely.

However, upon opening the door into the apartment, I was astounded. The self contain apartment, was well furnished and had everything I needed for my stay. I was upgraded to a three bedroom apartment instead of a one bedroom apartment, and all the rooms were of a reasonable size. The lounge area was comfortable, the kitchen was user friendly and the washing machine was handy (no dryer, only an air rack). The bathroom was great, nice and big, with good water pressure.

The area doesn't have much in terms of cafes and restaurants, but they are only a block or two away. The main shopping area and central train station was within walking distance, with bags.

Would I stay again... absolutely. If you can overcome the requirement to check in elsewhere (up to 20min walk), you will be rewarded with a great apartment in Oslo. (The receptionist said they are looking opening an office closer)

PS: read the instructions for opening the door with the key card, so you don't feel stupid when you can't get into the apartment!!!

We had a great stay in the apartment that was located in a very convenient location within walking distance to a number of tourist sights. Downside was that the collection of keys was at another location that was 15 min away and the cooking stove wasn't working. When we dialled the helpline, it was directed to a shopping company that said that they received such calls frequently but were not related to the property at all. There was also no extra garbage bags provided so you'll have to bring your own supplies.

Modern short term stay condo

Nice condo for a two week stay, business for my husband, touristy stuff for me. Really appreciated full kitchen, eating area, sitting room, and separate bedroom. Newly renovated with modern furniture and new kitchen appliances, cookware and utensils. Walking distance to Central Station and main tourist area with lots of eating places and grocery stores. Very quite building except for road construction down below.
One caveat: they do not give any extra supplies! We had one roll of toilet paper, 2 dishwashing tablets, 1 roll of paper towel. That's it. We had to purchase our own supplies when we ran out.
Also, the washing machine is not easy to figure out. It is a washer only, no dryer.

Stay at your own risk, I wouldn’t.

Keys (a code really) are collected in another place, lights could not be turned off (really bright lights on ceiling), switch not working, on the phone (there is no real person to help) they told us to disconnect the mains, so we had no lights in all the apartment, no microwave, no working fridge, etc., with no possible help until Monday (it was Friday 6pm), after we would have left.
One day the entrance codes where reset by error, all guests, not only us, locked out from the building and apartments for over an hour, at least.
It should come with a warning, “stay there at your own risk”, I am sure there are better choices in Oslo for the price.
PD: I asked por a partial refund at the e-mail they gave us, and have not heard a thing from them yet, apart from an automated response, so they did get the mail..
