The apt had no paper towels and no dish towel to do dishes that are mandatory to do unless you want to be charged. The TV has no streaming services. The apt should also leave coffee and tea complimentary.

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.

There is an unpleasant odor of deceased animals in the vicinity of the property, which is compounded by its inconvenient location.

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.

Good value for money
Enjoyed our stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was a bit out of city centre but there are very frequent buses with bus stop right out front. Apartment was clean, bed was comfy, kitchen equipped to be able to cook easy meals and big bathroom. Would recommend as very good value for Oslo

This was a small apartment but it worked well for our short stay. It was clean and the bed was comfy. It is a bit of a walk to city centre so keep that in mind, but there is transit nearby. Would recommend this place if you are on a smaller budget.

Comfortable and convenient
The apartment was a great size and nice location, unfortunately not as clean as it could have been, but overall it was comfortable and worth the money. It was also useful to have cooking facilities and a washing machine/tumble dryer in the room!

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.

Disliked: Amenities
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.
