Anker Hotel

Very comfortable rooms and good shower. Breakfast is amazing. Location is pretty good, not far from the center, and close to a bike and a tram station. Defined would stay again

Great hotel with a spectacular breakfast buffet. The beds were comfortable and we had 2 good nights of sleep. The breakfast was the best hotel breakfast buffet I’ve ever had! A lot of selections with all the breakfast foods you can think of. The elevators were also slightly out of date. Overall, great value and great hotel

I had a lovely single room on the 9th floor of the hotel. My room was very clean and plenty of space for clothes and a clean bathroom. Also a comfortable bed. Great view out of the window. I had a good choice of breakfast every day. The staff were very friendly and helped me with my TV

Wonderful clean hotel. Stunning breakfast coffee machines available in am. Huge huge buffet breakfast. Room always a little dated and the shower was super small. Ask if you require extra pillows etc. very helpful staff at reception. Easy to walk around Oslo from the hotel and site see on foot. We caught the tram from the central station to our hotel. The tr stop is directly outside the door. Very convenient. Best best breakfast ever. Lasted us the entire day.

Good for the price we paid! No kettle & hairdryer so do pack them if you're travelling to Norway & staying here. To be fair, all the hotels I stayed in in Norway had no kettle or hairdryer in the room. Very near city center, good short walk. Very quaint and cosy for 2 people. It's a very no nonsense hotel. Just the toilet is tad bit small but okay & manageable I guess! The shower area is tiny but I didn't expect much. Breakfast every morning was yummy too! On our second morning sadly the coffee machine broke down :')

Typical Scandinavian hotel room, but it was niiice. The train station is right outside and takes you to any downtown destination quickly and efficiently. It's really quiet compared to other hotels I've been staying in within other Scandinavian cities. Heated floor in the bathroom to make the drying go faster.

Very nice hotel with a great location! ||Just a 10 minute walk from Oslo City with lots of shopping opportunities. Here you have most things, so absolutely a great location. The room 914 I got was very nice and good size. ||Cleaning was generally very good and both the hotel and the room were very clean. ||The pillows were incredibly comfortable and soft, and the bed was also good and comfortable. ||The temperature in the room itself was also very good and adjustable. The bathroom had also very good temperature. ||There was a smart TV there, but it was not connected to wifi or TV channels. Tried to connect but could not connect, so this was a “slow down” to not have a working tv. Previously when I have stayed here at Anker Hotel it’s always been a working TV with tv channels. Wifi was very good speed and was great.||Apart from the TV that didn’t work, the stay was very nice with wonderful staff! Can recommend Anker Hotel. Thank you for a great stay 😀

The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were polite and helpful. The room was clean and had all the basic amenities I needed. The bed was comfortable, and the Wi-Fi connection was stable. Location-wise, it’s convenient with shops and public transport nearby. There were a few minor issues, but nothing major. Good value for the price, and I would consider staying here again.

We booked Anker on a whim- our normal hotel was booked for our first night in Oslo so we went with Anker. First thing to note is there's a hostel side and a hotel side. We stayed at the hotel- which was lovely. Tacking the train from the airport to the city center will leave you with a 14 minute walk to the hotel. With luggage this wasn't ideal, we'll Uber moving forward. Once inside it was nice but simple- honestly it's what we expected in Oslo outside of the 4/5 star hotels we have booked for later in the trip. We had a large room which fit two perfectly, and the beds were super comfortable. Free WiFi which is expected in my opinion, and a breakfast Buffett in the morning. I found staff to be friendly and we actually had no issues during our one night stay. I'm not sure if I would stay here for more than two nights based on needing a little more from a hotel room but it's a solid choice. Oslo is expensive so be prepared to spend money, even on a limited frill hotel for a night,

Its very cute hotel in the middle of the city and staff here friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay. Everything is in walkable distance and nice views from the room

Great hotel and in a perfect location for travel. I'm taking away a star for the lack of wifi access in the rooms. As an international traveler that is a must. To be told that it's accessible only in the lobby and not in the rooms isn't a fix. To be told it's been like that for years makes it worse. To be told they keep saying they're going to fix it doesn't make it better either. Bleck. Too hard to plan anything on a trip when you can't access the internet, especially when you pay a bit more to get a hotel with the wifi. Let's move on your the 4 stars because if they can fix the internet you SHOULD stay here! The woman who greeted us at the desk was awesome and friendly. We came early thinking we'd just be able to store our luggage but our room was ready! Yahoo!! The room was perfect. Super comfy. We had 3 beds and 2 could be pushed together as well. I would love to see some usb outlets or plugs near the beds. Super helpful with cell phones being used as alarm clocks. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfy and no issues with the bathroom. There was also a TV so that was a plus. As far as getting there, it's an easy walk from the main station but you can jump up on a tram to get there. With the construction going on and the iffy few blocks right before the hotel, I'd get off on the stop after the hotel. It's actually a shorter walk.

We stayed here from February 14-22 2016 and we were quite happy with the hotel. It's nothing special, very basic, but affordable and we got a great package. The rooms are a little small, and the beds were single - but they are some of the most comfortable beds that I've ever slept on in a hotel. The pillows not so much, but it didn't make or break my sleep, lol. Checking in was smooth and fast, and the employees at the front desk were great throughout our entire stay. I was able to buy postcards to send home and they put together all the postage and such for me and shipped them off. Awesome! The morning buffet breakfast is alright, but we were pretty tired of it by the third day as they don't seem to ever switch it up even a little bit. I had a chance to try some new and different foods that I hadn't before - so that was cool. There are signs asking you not to bring food out of the cafeteria for obvious reasons, but you can make a sandwich to take out for 80NOK. The showers are a bit strange and we ended up with water all over the bathroom floor, but I'm just going to assume that I wasn't using it properly. I won't hold that against the hotel. :P I found the free wi-fi to be just fine. I didn't try to stream movies or anything, but for basic internet use I found it fast and reliable. The location was perfect, as we were there to see a show at the Folkentheateret, which is just down the street - as is everything else! It's only a few minutes walk from Central Station which made our getting from and to the airport very easy. There's a Kiwi, which is a grocery chain just a couple of minutes away, as is a McDonalds if you're looking for your fast-food fix. There are 7-11's EVERYWHERE. There is complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby all the time, and the bar is pretty cute as well. There are no ice machines, but you can go down to the bar to get some if you need it. When the bar is closed, just go to the front desk and they'll get it for you. All in all we enjoyed our stay. Nothing special about the Anker Hotel, but if you're looking for good value and a reasonable price, it's pretty good!

Very centrally located in Oslo with basic, but tidy standard. Breakfast included with both warm and cold alternatives, but missed better selection in the cereal bar. Both the restaurant and bar were clean and nice, but a little dull with typical white walls and celing like an institution. Price very affordable though Value for money!

Super accommodating, and the staff couldn't be nicer. A huge thank you to Rafael at the front desk for making a wonderful vacation better - you are the best!

Clean and comfortable but nothing special. The shower takes some getting used to as it does not have a separate shower tub but is 'on the floor'. The staff is friendly but they could use an extra person to help with storing luggage. Pretty much everyone can go in the storage room and take luggage. Nobody checks tags or even comes with you. The rooms could also use some darker curtains. When it's light out after midnight it's hard to fall asleep when the room is still bright. Our room was also overlooking a residential building and screaming kids playing in the parking lot woke us up every morning at 8 am. So windows are definitely not sound proof.

This place can not decide if it is an upscale hostel with private rooms and breakfast or a hotel with small no frills rooms and a buffet. Yeaaaa! Free internet in the room's. Welcome to the new century. If you are looking for a concierge, bellman and valet with a European breakfast buffet, forget it. They have none of that. If you are looking for cheap, no frills downtown accommodations with a lot of barely making it guests, this is the place to stay. Small Scandinavian style rooms with efficient space. But none of the rare wood or fine furniture I have found at other places. It's not dirty. But if you are into big fluffy clean towels and clean crisp sheets every day, forget it again. They say completely remodeled in 2010. It's Summer 2013 and it's dog eared in my opinion. A special word about the included breakfast. Easy to skip. Way not special. My traveling companion wouldn't even go down for coffee after the first day. Crowded with hostel guests who seemed to be having their first warm meal inside in a while.

I had a training course in this hotel, so I decided to stay here as well for simplicities sake. Meh, it was okay. Upon check in, one guest was complaining about someone stealing his luggage out of the lobby and just walking out of the hotel. So, there's that. I had an easy check in and the room was perfect for my sleeping needs. The restaurant is basically a cafeteria buffet for breakfast, but the food was satisfactory. I really can't complain too much. It was just okay in my book.

Strictly no frills place. They change sheets once in 5 days. Lobby bar is quite good.

The hotel is pretty close to everything which is great, and the view from our room at the 11th floor is beautiful. Other than that, it's not special in any way. Decor is trying to be modern but looks hard and cold. The rooms are fine, but the showers very small. No "we're sleeping in"tags for the door, so cleaning just barges in. The rooms are clean, but paint is scaling off the ceiling. It costs money to watch TV and the wifi keeps shutting down and is sloooow. Would rather pay for an hour of efficient internet, rather than being logged off every five mins. Breakfast buffet is ok but bland. Don't expect much choice if you are a vegetarian or vegan as most of the food is meat based. I'm lactose intolerant and not a huge fan of meat in the morning so I had very little options. The staff is friendly, but upon check in couldn't give us a receipt for payment and you have to pay in advance for your entire stay. All in all a pretty basic hotel that is fine if you're just looking for a reasonably (for Oslo) priced hotel.

This hotel is cheap for Oslo but would probably still be considered fairly expensive anywhere else. The lobby and reception area are very nice, with quite a homely feel despite the large size, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The dining area is clean and the breakfast buffet is delicious (although I still haven't figured out what the fishy tasting pancake things are). The rooms are small and quite dull looking (for some reason they chose grey for the colour of the blankets) but they are clean, tidy and fine if it's just somewhere to sleep. The location of the hotel is excellent, being just a 10 minute walk from the centre of Oslo. There are several places to eat and drink within a short walk and if you're on a budget then this is a great base. Warning: Don't get this hotel mixed up with the Anker Hostel next door that shares the same address!

Skal du på noe på spektrum er dette hotellet akkurat langt nok unna. Helt ok rom med god utsikt. Når vi var der var det mye veiarbeid i området, men rommene er godt lydisolert så det gjorde ingenting. Frokost var helt grei, men ikke noe mer enn det. Trekker en stjerne for frokosten. Wifi var helt ubrukelig så der mister de også poeng. Kommer nok til å bo her igjen.
