We’re glad we found the Anker Apartments for our two nights in Oslo. It was quite a good value. We were greeted by friendly staff. We picked up bed linens and towels when we checked in. We also requested a kitchenette set which has dishes, cups and silverware. Staff helped us with directions and questions - very helpful! The rooms look like furnished student housing and was perfectly fine for our needs. We had a suite with two twin beds, two bunk beds, a couch, table and chairs, and a kitchenette along with a bathroom. All doors require a key card to open so it feels very safe and the elevator is helpful with luggage. Our beds were comfortable and while we were there it was pretty quiet. Our only complaint is that it was warm while we were there and our room was stuffy. We stayed on a room that opened to a ground floor courtyard and the windows only crack open a little at the top. It was quite warm during the day and there was no air circulation. We would have happily paid to rent electric fans if they were available but none available. There is a Joker grocery store adjacent to the apartments with food, snacks, drinks, and some good inexpensive coffee. There is a larger Spar grocery store just a couple of blocks away. We loved the view of Oslo from the rooftop deck. Could use some more furniture (there's a couple of older picnic tables) but it's got an awesome view. Tip on location. We flew in from the US the night before and we’re quite tired so we took a taxi from Oslo Central station. It was slow and expensive. However it’s only about a 30 minute walk from the central station or you can take the tram from there. You can download the RuterBillett app, buy tickets on the tram or stop in the Ruter customer service office at the central station where they will sell you tickets and help you find the right tram. Super easy once you figure it out.
