A basic 2 single bed room with basic amenities being a kitchenette and bathroom. No tea towel, no floor mat for bathroom. Guest must strip sheets off bed and sweep apartment. Bed average comfort and room is looking tired from age and no recent renovations. Self check in via a hotel phone so no staff present to assist with anything. Not situated in a very nice neighborhood but 7 min walk to train station is 2 stops to central station.

Clean, spacious apartment-style room with magnetic key cards. Smooth check-in + check-out process though communication with host via Expedia was a bit slow at times. Gave clean towels and plenty of toilet paper. Kitchenette was clean and included a microwave, mini fridge (no freezer), sink, water kettle, and stove top. It came fully equipped with plates, utensils, sponge, and dish detergent. Washer dryer was also a lifesaver for us! There was also a nice balcony through the window which gave some nice fresh air - notably there’s no AC (but that’s pretty common for Europe anyway), though we stayed in mid-June and it was no problem. Overall very clean, safe, and spacious - we were impressed and had a great stay!

(deluxe apartment) firstly, It isn’t mentioned in the description but you have to pay a holding deposit on arrival. There is also no information about how to check in prior the day, when you arrive to the hotel you have to call a number to get your room key. The hotel expects you to clean the room before you leave otherwise you will be charged a cleaning fee. The walls are thin - we heard arguing next door which went on for ages. There was also no bathroom hand towels or mats. Secondly, I looked at google reviews before and got really worried due to the bad reviews, in all honesty it isn’t that awful. It’s in a good location and if you aren’t expecting a comfortable hotel then you will be fine!

Cheap but stressful and not worth booking

We booked the hotel for the price, as it’s cheaper than others in the area - but it is cheap for a reason and I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

There was no receptionist present on entry, only a telephone to check in with an offshore call centre and a surprise extra 2000 NOK deposit on entry.

The room itself was not sanitary, with stains on the beds & visible damage to the walls. Plugging in a phone charger caused the lights to dim & there was a concerning amount of condensation on several appliances. The whole room was unpleasantly hot.

The room we were staying in also had access to an exterior patio area, which had been left unlocked - and we were provided no key to lock the door.

This isn’t up to standard for a 3 Star Hotel, the only advantages here are price & location, but I’d recommend saving yourself the stress and booking elsewhere.

Good budget choice for a short stay.

This was a good choice for a 1 night stopover in Oslo. On the outskirts of the centre but walkable to the waterfront or good metro service. Not much nearby to keep you local for entertainment. Check-in was quite straightforward when we arrived but the details given beforehand weren’t that clear. Basically, turn up at reception, lift the phone and speak to the receptionist, pay your room deposit on the card reader and validate a room entry card. The room was great. Basic cooking facilities, microwave, fridge, kettle and washer dryer included.

The check in is done by phone. You don't see anyone during check in or out. We were instructed to open the windows when cooking. We did that, and also used the fan over the stove, but the smoke alarm went off. A gentleman came to our door and asked if the windows were open, and we said yes, and that we also had the fan on. He said okay, that's fine, and left. After that we also used the room fan directed at the window while cooking and the alarm didn't go off. One night there was a group of very loud young men outside for several hours but we couldn't figure out what they were doing. The building itself has different levels and sections with no elevator. We discovered our room was near another entrance we could have used without hauling our luggage through different sections and up stairways.

I was not able to stay at this property as there is a self-check in but no one at Central City Apartments will answer messages or calls regarding how to check-in. I have asked Expedia for my money back since I literally could not get in to my room and had to get another hotel, but Expedia said they would have to call the property. Expedia has been unable to get anyone to answer at the property (same as me;) and yet still won't agree to refund my money. Never book Central City Apartments because you'll end up paying double for another hotel in Oslo. Expedia is going downhill as well and still has not contacted me about returning my money (Expedia was supposed to send me an email as soon as they were able to reach Central City Apartments.)

DON'T CONSIDER THIS PROPERTY. For the price, it horrendous. Disciplable communication for a self service and no reception service. At checkin you have a call via a shelf ad that's IF you get through on the first attempt. Several calls later, the only thing the indian woman on call cared for was the deposit money you'll pay (about 150 pounds)but you won't know about this amount until you sadly committed to the property. Expedia take zero accountability for this. Moving to get to the room, you also don't have a working telephone in the room. It's a lousy room. Old, haggard. Daft use of space with a TV set up far up the guttering height. Dispicable kitchenette. The property offers scratched frying pan which would class as a terrible health hazard seeping poison into you. Basic basic things they couldn't think of got the price paid. The electricity was horrific in which it went off during the day. The hot water for the shower also was a problem but who do you tell? You couldnt get hold of anyone. This moves me to my next issue which were the tiny beds provided on the hardened bedding ever. If you are over UK size 10 (female) you are most likely going to fall out the bed (pictures) or hit yourself. It's 2/3rds of a single bed. I hated my stay and had poor help from Expedia. A full investigation should be done and a complaint to the atol protection for the failure to keto he me feeling safe. On the very last day I met some of the staff who seemed nice. Yawn. Hated my stay.

The only complaint I have is that because these are unmanaged or at least I never met or saw an employee - there was no one to deal with the folks who decided to stay up yelling and screaming all night. The next night too someone came onto a shared balcony and tried to look into my window. Just there wasn’t anyone to call in these situations for help.

First of all, there is no reception, you walk in and there is a small desk to the right with a phone and a card reader, you call through to some office and you are then informed about a £200.00 deposit which is not mentioned anywhere. I had to help 2 lots of new guests in using this system during my stay as no one could understand it. We then go into the room, there were utensils in the draw covered in food, the floor was filthy, and worst of all the curtains were covered and stained from what was clearly bodily fluids, disgusting place. We asked for the curtains to be changed and were told they would be, however they were not. Nobody was around when we got back. We took lots of photos and will be taking this further.

Extra spacious room and bathroom. Well equipped. Clean. Very good location.
Smoke detector was extra sensitive. Reacted to steam from the kettle and what I imagine was the dust lifting off the wall mounted heater. Could be a nasty surprise for someone not familiar with those devices. Also one of the hobs on the stove kept blowing the fuse rendering the stove useless. Fortunately the fuse box was in the room. Easy to fix if you know how.
I would recommend the hostel for its price, comfort and proximity to the city and public transport. It helps if you’re street smart :p

The are is nice and the property is close to some grocery shops and also underground.
The room that we had was average. The smell in the room nothing close to fresh. And the communication with the receptionist (which is via a phone btw) was so poor: she was claiming that she is not able to hear me most of the time, the attitude was like she didn’t care at all about the conversation and that she just wants to hang up as soon as she can.
So overall nice area but really poor costumer service.

We arrived late evening and were allocated apartment 1008. After searching, unfortunately, we were not able to find this and went back to the phone in reception and were given a different apartment which was excellent. We looked in daylight but never found 1008.

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

Horrible experience with “hotel”. Photos are not accurate. Communication was non-existent. There is no reception and you are required to call to check in, this wouldn’t be an issue if anyone answered the phone. Phone number on hotels.com is not current. Left with no option but to last minute book another hotel, but based on the overall feel and state of the place, I am grateful

I checked in late in the evening. Communicated in advance with the number given in the booking. When I arrived I called at the number. He assigned a fellow to help me in the check in. I wanted to pay in cash in either euro or dollar. I was told to pay almost one hundred euro more than the exchange rate. When I protested , the fellow present again called somebody who explained that exchange rate in this case applies of selling euro in the market. So the difference. I was confused as I had paid normal exchange rate in Switzerland and Denmark. Moreover, the reception is rarely open. It's good for single, independent fellow but for a tourist family it's not recommended

The check in was a nightmare as it's by telephone only and isn't practical for a deaf person. Had to beg a cleaner to call on my behalf. That was stressful and would have liked to know this in advance so that I could come to an alternative arrangement. My baggage arrived late so I was stressed out waiting for my luggage to arrive especially there was no one at the reception so I could not go out and enjoy myself. Other than that the room was clean and adequate.

A good value place to stay

I had a deluxe apt for two. it had a combined kitchen/dining/living room, separate bedroom. The kitchen had a microwave, fridge and full oven. There was two of all crockery and cutlery. Despite the normal sized oven there were only small side plates so they don't expect you to cook a big meal! location was great - near the subway and a little shopping complex with restaurants, supermarket etc. The reception was hard to find as per other reviews but you basically keep walking around the back until you find the furthest entrance door. Check in is all remote - someone on the end of a phone but all worked fine without issue. I would stay here again if I visited Oslo.

The room barely had enough space to open my suitcase. It was confusing to find the place to check in; There was no reception area, they were just set up in one of the rooms. They tried to get me to pay on some shady site before I arrived, even though the Expedia email the request came from had a warning not to do that.

Dirty, expensive and disappointing

I would hardly call this place an apartment. It was instead a hotel room with a tiny kitchen.
Although I could make my own food, there was no table to sit at to eat properly.
The apartment wasn't clean either. I for example found a used knife behind the bed and my feet got dirty from walking around barefoot.
Although, I needed a keycard to enter my apartment, the two doors before reaching this door were unlocked. There was a card reader, but you could just open the door (including the outside door to enter the building). This did not seem very safe. On two occasions I even heard people walking up the steps to the door of my apartment. Luckily, that door was locked, otherwise, they would have walked straight in.
Conclusion: I would not recommend staying here at all. It is also way overpriced.

Nice & Cosy Room, but Far Away from Reception

The room was larger and cosier than expected. It was comfortable for a family of four but my family members who slept at the upper deck had greater difficulty in falling asleep because the window was further away from them. We needed to carry our luggage up a flight of stairs and it was in a separate building from the reception. There was nothing much to see within the neighbourhood but the apartments was situated near to Tøyen metro station.

The room was clean and a good size for three of us. Beds were comfortable. Initially there were going to be 4 of us, but instead we had 3 of us and 5 twin beds in the room. The cons were that lighting was not great. Light in the kitchenette was completely out. There was a towel for each person, but no washcloths or kitchen towels or paper towels. Also, if you cook, you’d have to purchase a sponge to wash dishes as this was also not provided. The TV reception was pretty bad, but if you are traveling, most time is spent outside of the room, so for just having a place to stay, it was great.

Great staff at the hotel, easy access metro - not really walking distance to main Oslo attractions. Wish there was some kind of microwave or toaster oven in the room, but kitchenette was handy. Would be nice to have a towel in the kitchen area as well. Decently priced beer/wine at the hotel bar. And a nice bathroom in the room. Would definitely stay again!

Near to metro. Quick check in. Friendly staff. Good breakfast available with extra charges. Nice apartment with separate dinning, living and bedrooms. Came with good size fridge, cooking stove and utensils. Stayed in apartment for 4, will need to climb couple of stairs to room and also to beds. Stayed twice, 1st time given room with toilet at same level with beds, 2nd time toilet is located down 1 flight of stairs. Hard to manage with large luggages. Storage available at lobby. We left our luggages in storage and took whatever we need in small bags to the rooms.

Apartment style hotel...just off the path a bit

This was a nice apartment-type setting. Staff was not overly friendly but they were helpful. Room was clean but fairly compact. You only get room service if you stay more than 2 nights. Was in more of a residential area and not really close to shops and restaurants. We walked to get food and shopping and it was about a 20-min walk. Shower setup was weird and always got water everywhere. It is a nice place for the money but would probably choose a hotel closer in to the action next time

Half of hour to walk to the Central Station; a small Kitchinette very usefull; in 6 days the room cleaned only once, the room was small(very easy to hit the ceiling) but very well organized.To say the truth I found everything I need.
The receptionist told me the check-in is not before 15.00.After the long trip I waited 2 hours jin front of the reception desk in order just to see how another couple was immediately put into their room.I asked again and the receptionist said:\" oh yes, now we can make it\"...
