Nothing special. Staff is friendly and parking is nice but a little awkward because of all of the one way streets. Free wifi is nice but everything is pretty typical of a super 8 level hotel. You're paying a premium for the primo location.

I've been staying in Arbins gate during a period of 5 months in a business matter. The locations is great, I absolutely love it, but the standard is not at all what you could expect from a hotel in the same price range as Hilton hotel. There is a breadish smell in the room which has been impossible to get... More

Stayed in the Skoveien apartments: the company has several sites across the city. The room was essentially a hotel room with a small kitchen unit. All the facilities and the location were excellent. Very good value. The kitchen allowed us to save on the very expensive cost of meals in Norway. The reception was very friendly and helpful. We have... More

Dear Christraveller 17, Thank you so much for this super review! I am sure many travellers will appreciate your travel tips, especially the plastic bag charge at grocery stores comes as a surprise to many. At our reception, you can get a reusable shopping net to avoid the cost and spare the environment. Enjoy your future travels, and hope to... More

Had the 'pleasure' of staying at the Arbinsgate apartment building over a long period and would not recommend one to do the same. For a shorter stay the apartment is adequate, but the kitchenette is well below par (why is it equipped with a heat-resistant tray when there is no oven in the appt? and there's only two glasses, plates,...

Dear guest! I am very sorry you found your stay so disappointing! I wish you would have contacted us during your stay to let us know of your complaints. We could easily have supplied further equipment for you, as we have plenty of utencils and microwave ovens in store. We have apartments at several buildings in different locations in the... More

My family of 4 (7&9 year old children) stayed here for a week in June. We made contact via email with the hotel prior to our arrival and researched the hotel quite a bit prior to booking, so we very much knew what to expect (no front desk, etc.). We were warmly greeted upon arrival and driven to the Arbinsgate... More

Stayed in the Skoveien apartments: the company has several sites across the city. The room was essentially a hotel room with a small kitchen unit, but this at least meant that I could use the 7-11 on the corner and microwave something to eat. In a city where a pizza and a beer can cost you £20 this is a... More

I stayed in Arbinsgate with my wife for 4 days. Pros: for those who like a flat apartment, it has all the stuff. Free Laundry and Cleaning machines is a plus. Location is perfect, lest than 100 m from Cons: no reception service after 4pm, elevator has a cronical problem (we discovered a bypass on the 2nd day), monster party... More

My husband & I stayed at the Arbinsgate apartment with our toddler. I neglected to check how we were to get into the apartments (I presumed being serviced apartments there would be a reception but I was wrong!). Unfortunately we arrived at 4.10pm - so were too late to phone their offices which closed at 4pm (an emergency number to... More

I stayed for two months in Oslo at Frogner House Apartments. Frogner House Apartments rents furnished apartments, complete with a small kitchen and linens. A free laundry room is available on all floors, and the building has free wireless. Perfect for business travel. The location was great - corner of Skovveien and Frognerveien just northwest of Aker Brygge, and just... More
