Reviews
The location is excellent, very close to the bus stop and easily accessible. The apartment itself is clean, spacious, modern, and very comfortable. We truly enjoyed staying there.
There was a small issue with the hot water. If one person showered first, the next person had to wait about 30 minutes for the boiler to heat up again. However, it was not a big issue for us.
Overall, we were very satisfied and really liked the apartment. I would definitely recommend it.
The entrance is a bit hidden away, if you’re walking from Oslo S, it’s past the barber shop.
The room i stayed in, 402, could do with a microwave.
Only bad thing was lack of lights in the room. It was too dark in the night.
But if i have another opportunity to travel in aborad, i’d like to book here again
The one thing you need to note is that everything is done through your phone. You access the building and your apartment through the app, so you need to make sure you have your phone with you at all times and that’s fully charged.
Arrived at 3:00 to find cleaning staff in the middle of their work. Not what one expects or wants after 24 hours of travel.
Had issue with getting into our flat on the last night. Electronic gate unlocked, electronic front door unlocked, apartment door would not. Definitely not what one desires after an evening in the rain. Online chat worked and worked at it before resolving after 10 minutes in the hall.
Would not choose to stay again after experience.
