Ok place to stay, nothing fancy and a bit cramped. A longish walk from train station and the downtown sites. Room rather warm and windows open only a small amount. But quiet and comfortable for sleeping. Good breakfast buffet.

A mixed stay to be honest. The bed and room is nice, but then the window framing didn’t fit and was roughly constructed. The bathroom was fine but then just a single unlabelled mystery pump dispenser in shower. The staff were helpful and nice (shout out to those supporting breakfast), and the location was handy for trams (using Oslo pass). But you could hear the trams rubbling past the hotel even on higher floors. There’s good eating options a stroll up the road, but again you could hear bar music at night. A mixed stay but noting that the breakfast was great, lots of choices, and although busy was always fresh.

The breakfast was great, fresh food. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The only thing that we didn’t like was how small the room was and bathroom was very tiny and the shower made a huge puddle. The bathroom also had a weird smell. The room just wasn’t comfortable, especially for the price we paid.

Frustrating not to be able to pay for the hotel when booking as due to the exchange rate I paid £25 more for my booking at the hotel than quoted when I originally booked it. No fridge or safe in the room and the bathroom is more of a wet room than bathroom. Having said that the room was a good size with a good view and the breakfast was good with plenty of choice. A busy area so there was noise outside until quite late in the evening. Tram stop is right outside which is good for transport.

The breakfast buffet was really good with local products - Norwegian waffles with brown cheese, anyone?

The room was tiny as was the bathroom, but at least it was clean and served our purposes.

The hotel staff was kind to agree to extend our check out by an hour so that we would have enough time to pick up our rental car and come back.

We loved the location of this hotel. Most major attractions are walkable or are near with transit.

No AC and room was 23C so opening window lets in cold air but streets are very noisy. Pillows are flat so ask for two. Coffee machine in lobby, which charges, did not work but did take the money.

Great hotel for exploring Oslo. BIG hotel (12 floors?) with a great staff. They have a fabulous buffet breakfast with several dining areas, the bed & bedding is excellnt, size of the room is good - and if you're lucky (or ask) one side of the hotel looks out over the river: beautiful!
We stayed three different nights on our trip, would def stay again.
One BIG plus: it is right on the tram line for the 12, 15, 18. That's super convenient: all three stop in front of the train station & on the hotel block, they go all over Oslo. Great brew pub across the street and river walks at your doorstep.
Only small issue? WC is basic, shower stall a bit small for a 6'3\" 250 lb man.

Fairly central location, about 15 minute walk to the city centre. Check in was smooth. Staff very polite. Breakfast was really good. Plenty of choice of hot and cold and good quality. Once you leave the lobby/restaurant area, it’s like being in a different hotel. The downstairs has obviously had a make over but the upstairs not so. However, our room was clean and served its purpose. Lighting was a bit dark, and no tea/coffee making facilities. You can get a hot drink downstairs but you have to pay for it. Overall a nice enough hotel but could do with a drinks tray in the room.

Hotel is conveniently right at a tram stop for the #12 #15 #18 trams easy to get everywhere in Oslo right on the trams!
Very friendly helpful reception when we arrived after 10 pm March 31st.
We got a room on the 9th floor overlooking the river: lovely view.
Bed was very comfortable, pillows & duvets good, room warm but windows open for those who need fresh air.
The bathroom & closet small but fine for a short stay.
TV had a number of English language channels.
Good buffet breakfast with wide choice of options. Lots of baked goods, waffles & pancakes, roasted potatoes, several cheeses, yogurts, chereals, nuts, fruit, veg and v good pate, as well as sausage and bacon. Only one specialty coffee machine which caused line ups, but drip also available (& teas, juices) the usual hotel buffet scrambled eggs & hard boiled eggs.
All in all this is a great option in Oslo for convenience, comfortable sleep, good breakfast, good rate!

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.

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?

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
