I loved the view from the high floor and the breakfast was definitely good. The hotel was not expensive considering the prices in Oslo, but the rooms were small and maintenance was so so.

The check-in was efficient and personable but in general I didn’t think the staff was very forthcoming

Excellent location; friendly and helpful staff; large and fresh and yummy breakfast! Only complaint was that our “triple” room that was meant to have three equally good single beds actually had two real beds and one that was more like a fold-out cot. It still worked for us, and we were overall happy!

First, the room: the room was very clean and the beds were great. It was really very well laid out and was a great choice for the 5 of us to be in the same room.

The bathroom: was very small and the shower was not very nicely integrated into the space. Using it completely floods the bathroom floor with water. Also, the pipes in the bathroom were SUPER loud whenever anyone above you used the facilities above.

The buffet breakfast: was INCREDIBLE. No other way to describe the massive variety of quality food options. It was genuinely amazing.

Bottom line: I’d gladly stay here again. The staff were friendly. The room was clean. The location was great. The food was wonderful. The bathroom… the only downside to the experience.

The room was comfortable and well appointed, with a bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The food was excellent, offering a great variety and quality throughout my stay. Most notably, the staff were warm, attentive, and consistently helpful, which made the experience all the more pleasant.

We really loved our stay at Anker hotel. The location was great, and we had stunning views of northern Oslo from our window. We stayed in the family room and there was plenty of space for us all to spread out and relax. Our room was late to be ready, but the staff were very efficient at getting it ready for us when the issue arose. The breakfast was amazing!

A perfect stay at Anker Hotel. The location of the hotel is right next to the tram stop connecting you to central station. It’s also right next to the lovely river Akerselva. I was able to take several scenic walks right from the hotel. My room was spacious with a comfortable bed. It was modern with plenty of lighting and plugs but also had some old fashioned attributes I appreciated like a plug for the sink and a window that opens. The breakfast buffet is stellar. A huge selection. I’m vegetarian and had no problems eating my fill. They even had plant based bologna and cheese, and three types of plant based milk. They have sustainability in mind with recycling bins in hallways, and a wooden key instead of using plastic. If you are considering staying at Anker don’t think about it anymore just book it. You will be happy you did.

Perfect for a few days exploring Oslo. Steps to Oslo’s excellent bus and trams that take you anywhere, but check out the sumptuous breakfast before you explore. Being from North America we were impressed with the high degree of eco-friendliness, although it did take some guessing to make the hot water work in the sink. Love Scandinavian heated floors. Maybe a shelf in the shower for shampoo?

The hotel is quite convenient to get to by tram from Oslo S. The bed was very comfortable. However there is no air conditioning; thankfully it cooled off at night. My only complaint is the breakfast staff are pretty rude and start to remove things the second clock says breakfast is over. I was made to feel I had to leave, so I took the rest of my breakfast to the room to finish. The Front Desk staff was fantastic.

The walk from the city centre is a little dodgy as you pass a drug rehab centre with some less desirable people hanging around. Get the tram instead of walking.
Tip: use the lifts in the bar area as quicker.

Hotel Review

On arrival first impression the hotel exterior is not bad, but when checking in had to wait almost one hour having been told the rooms were not ready being tired that was very annoying, generally speaking the staff were helpful throughout the stay. The reception area is very disappointing the carpets and furniture are all stained, old and unpleasant definitely need updating. The rooms although had great views bed was basic linen and bathrooms. The hot water kept going cold 5/10 breakfast was ok and enough of choice so that would deserve 6/10 internet needed rebooting a few times 5/10 transport access very good. Overall sum it all

The summer was surprisingly hot over there, they don’t have AC and it can get boiling hot in the rooms. Some rooms have windows that open wildly and some just a little so in those ones it’s hard to get some air from outside at night when the air cool down. I would say if the weather is very very hot again make sure to ask for the room with wild windows or find another spot ( if the heat can disturb your sleep ) The beds were super comfy tho .
The location is great ! Super close to all the nice areas . Everything is walkable like the train station is 15mins walk from the hotel . Very easy.
The hotel is also situated is one of the coolest and nicest neighborhoods with lot of restaurants. L
The staff is accommodating and very lovely.
Overall it’s was nice to stay there for the location and it’s easy access.

Excellent location right by the tram line and busses, easily walkable to Oslo S and nearby neighborhoods. Somewhat noisy with the ambulances leaving all hours of the day, but I appreciated the location as it's easy to walk to lots of shops, restaurants, and bars.

Breakfast is good, typical Scandinavian hotel breakfast options of fresh fruits and veggies, warm buffet, etc.

Rooms: Room size was OK and clean. However, to me, my room was quite dark (even in June), the lighting was two bedside lights, a lamp by the table and then a few track lights above the TV. Windows helped, but one window was rather small (maybe to help sleep in summertime?).
Beds were comfortable and bathroom was quite small (expected). Only issue was the shower doors were odd and did not keep water from spreading across the bathroom floor so I would need to use a towel every morning as a floor mat, and my bathroom door somehow was broken/bent (metal got bent at bottom of door?) by housekeeping during my stay so that it wouldn't close. Not a big issue but odd occurrence.

That said, hotel rooms are primarily for sleeping which I was able to do. For me the location and breakfast made up for the shortcomings of the room.

Good stay, but needed a lot of improvements.

Overall it was a good stay. Breakfast was excellent. Just no shampoo and conditioner. It was surprising when you’re taking a shower and recognize that shampoo is empty. No towels exchange. You need to go to reception to take towels and even shampoo. The key card needed to exchange every day. It worked in the morning and didn’t work in the evening each day. We were staying for 3 nights.
