Frogner House Apartments AS

🏨 The hotel was perfectly fine overall. 💰 The price was reasonable for Norway, slightly higher, but acceptable. 🍳 The room included a kitchen, which was exactly what we needed. 🚋 The location was good, with easy access to trams and buses. 🛒 There is a large Meny grocery store nearby. 🧼 The rooms were clean — not perfect, but clean enough. 📐 We received a slightly larger room than shown in the pictures, which was nice. 🍽️ The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. 🔌 At first, we didn’t notice that the power outlets for appliances were located above the kitchen counter, but we figured it out later. 🛌 There were no power outlets next to the bed, which I would have appreciated. 💡 The first night we couldn’t turn off the light, but after sending an email, the batteries in the switch were replaced the next day, so no issue. 🚿 Towels and bed linen were clean, and the pillow was very comfortable and warm. 🧴 All toiletries like soap and shampoo were fully replenished. 🚰 The water didn’t taste as good as I’m used to in Scandinavia, but Frogner is an older district, so that might be the reason. 🤖 Check-in was fully automated, which suited me perfectly. 🙌 I really appreciated the lack of forced personal interaction. 💳 The machine printed the key card, and the room was ready. 🗣️ The cleaning staff spoke a Slavic language and were quite unhelpful when I reported a broken coffee machine. ☕ There was a free coffee machine available, but I didn’t use it since it didn’t offer tea, only hot water. 😴 Overall, it was an excellent hotel with very comfortable sleep. 🌙 The blackout curtains worked perfectly and ensured great rest. 📧 The staff was very helpful via email. ⭐ I definitely recommend this hotel.

An affordable and very efficient way to stay in Oslo—I never saw another person the whole time I was there (neither staff nor guest), and the little kiosk screen in the lobby worked effortlessly to check me in and spit out my key. The room was fairly spacious and equipped with a kitchenette, which was handy. The reason I’ve taken a star away is because I stayed on a Friday night and it was noisy. The room wasn’t sufficiently sound-proofed to keep the bar noise out, and the street below is full of bars. Other than that, a great concept.

Sadly I was unable to commit to my booking via booking.com with Frogner house, which looked fantastic, and was very much looking forward to as I had heard/ read great things about this boutique accommodation. Without going in to detail, I was met with such gracefulness and wonderful customer service. So on that basis I would absolutely rebook with them when I next have the opportunity and recommend this establishment to fellow travellers. ||Thank you so much team, I truly appreciate you. ||Toni x

Spacious room, but very NOISY and hot. No AC, and the bathroom heater made it worse. Right next to VERY LOUD tram lines, so sleep was difficult. No front desk staff, as this place is self check-in only, so no in-person help available when issues arose.

I was very excited for my 27 night stay. My room was absolutely nothing like any on the website. Very bland and run down. TV was crooked and in the way to get to the wardrobe. The rug was a constant headache. It was 30 degrees only supplied with a tiny fan and the underfloor heating was still on, very uncomfortable and awful to sleep. Staples hanging out the chair, very dangerous. The main lightswitch didn't work. Towel changes were done regularly as stated, but my linen was only changed on the 11th day when I queried it and never again. Nothing, absolutely nothing was worse than the noise from outside. Friday and Saturday it is incredibly loud till beyond 3am. Most of the other nights you can easily be woken by cars, motorbikes or drunken foghorns.

Third time I've been living here, and I am so happy I found this place. It has been the perfect distance to where I've been going to classes. I like the privacy and option to make my own meals in the small kitchen. Also, the service has been really good. The only problem is that I am a light sleeper, and that the walls aren't really that well isolated. This can be said of a lot of hotels too, of course, but the building is a bit older, so sound isolation probably wasn't a big priority when they built it. But aside from that - I am very happy about staying here.

Great apartments which include a small kitchen for basic cooking! the only feedback is that the staff should let the customers know that they have to tap the keycard for locking the door, that took me a bit to figure out.

At first I booked a bigger room, which smelled super weird, so I asked the service center to change another room. Since the service center is not inside the hotel, I walked two streets away, the lady there was really helpful, but unfortunately the new room was small and dark in the corner, and become a single room which still charges a twin room price. Also the room felt soooo weird and creepy at night, and I have to moved to another hotel away from it.

Here's my feedback: 1. Clean clean clean. 2. Close to all the public transportation. 3. I'm just not use to not having a 24/7 concierge/front desk. Please don't get me wrong, I do recommend this place! Just know that it's more an apartment style type of stay. 4. You would have to pay extra for someone to come and clean. (They will not give you fresh towels daily). 5. You would have to buy your own soap, shampoo/conditioner. 6. If I was aware of the the towels, soap and shampoo situation, either I would have arranged it prior or choose a more traditional hotel. 7. The location was perfect, we had Kiwi market to get supplies from so we just made it out alright.

I love the Frogner House Apartments, especially the location across the street from the Frogner Kirke (church) in Oslo...on Bygdøy Allé. I stayed in a small apartment that was clearly decorated by an expert interior designer. I loved the attention to detail. Also, I was very pleased with the Frogner neighborhood...as it is in a great part of Oslo (near the city center). The reception is very helpful. The restaurant and bar are terrific. I would definitely stay here again.

I started working in Norway and before moving into my own flat, I've stayed at Frogner House Apartments. The studios are stylishly decorated, and one could (and I should!) cook in the small kitchenette. My studio has a small French balcony, lovely! Extra bonus: you can leave for bags over the weekend here, so I do not carry my cosmetics back and forth to Finland every week.

The decisions that companies make during the pandemic speak volumes about how they will treat their customers and what kind of service you can expect to receive. I was unable to travel to Norway due to COVID travel bans, and Frogner House refused to provide a refund. To protect yourself, stay somewhere else.
