Frogner House Apartments - Arbinsgate 3 - Oslo

The staff in duty was not properly trained to help the guests. Her English was not sufficient to explain the situation. We arrived earlier than scheduled, and had a hard time to get the key. The staff explained the rule that the guest can not get the key in advance. She repeated the same statement many times. We also respect the rule. But there can […] be situations that should be solved, considering what is happening real time. There are cases of exceptional situations. Bad weather may be the case, because the guests may be left outside the hotel in cold weather. The hotel may prepare the scenarios that could handle the exceptional cases, and train its staffs for improved service to the guests. Read more

Frogner apartment was a great place to stay. Just be aware that when booking, you need to go to their one business location to pick up your key. Since there are several locations around Oslo, be sure to read the follow-up email after booking about where to pick your key.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It is a really nice apartment although the dining space is very cramped for four. Picking up the key several blocks away is frustrating but they were very nice about arranging for us to get the key late at night. The price was good for a family of four compared to hotel costs. It's very quiet location. There is a tram stop half a block away that goes […] directly to the train station and it is an easy walk to parks, museums and the waterfront. Read more

Very nice hotel..... highly recomendded.... very clean and tidy

Genuine Expedia guest review

The check in is a few blocks away from the actual apartment which is a little inconvenient when you are carrying luggage. Be prepared to bring your own kleenex, lotion and handsoap. The only thing supplied is body wash and a little shampoo. We stayed 3 nights and our place was never cleaned nor were we given fresh towels but we never made a request […] either. The place was spacious and within a 3 minute walk to the train station which was a plus. Had a stove top, fridge, and dishware. Read more

Having booked to stay specifically at the Arbinsgate location of Frogner House Apartments in order to be near to my customer staying in a nearby hotel, I was sometime disappointed to find that during my flight from UK to Oslo, Frogner had changed my booking to their other location at Skovveien. Although this had a tram connection, it was nowhere near […] a Metro train station. The room was very well appointed, having been very recently refurbished to a high standard, and with a good view of the street corner from the panoramic windows. However, the electrical design of the apartment left a lot to be desired. There was a complete lack of adequate mains sockets. In the kitchenette area, the only socket was underneath the overhead cupboard, rather than on the wall above the work surface. The kettle lead was no where near long enough with the result that it had to be plugged in by the toilet. There was a socket in the lounge area, but this was only rated for lights not as a power socket, but the signage was unclear, so the circuit breaker tripped when trying to use this for the kettle. Goodness knows how you were meant to use the toaster and the coffe machine without proper power sockets. This apartment needs rewiring to make it habitable for anything other than a few days.

This hotel or rather should I say apartment is great! Not only was a clean, it had a kitchen and comfortable beds! It is also in a greta location! My family and I would definitely stay there again!

Only recommendation was adding more hangers or hooks to hang items - there were four of us in the apartment and didn't have enough hooks for wet towels, etc. Overall, happy with our stay there.

This was the perfect place to stay in Oslo. Just there for the weekend with friends and it was safe, clean and bright. Aparment was enough off the main street to be quiet. Like the other reviews - pick up the keys at the 7-11, but otherwise everything was in order. Close to the subway, close to old town, and close to all the tourist spots. These apartments […] were a great find. Read more

My wife and I were very impressed with our stay. The apartment was clean and very roomy. It had a separate living room and one bedroom. It also contained a kitchen. The bathroom was clean but the shower is very small. The complex contained a washer and dryer in the basement. The location is right in the center of Oslo, which made it easy to walk down […] to the waterfront. The bus and train station was also only a block away. The price was very reasonable and much less expensive than most other places we looked when booking. We would definitely stay there again. Read more

the room was very clean and every thing was great. there was no outside noise at all which seemed very strange as it was in the middle of Oslo. The laundry features were very good also. Thank you . traveler from Los Lunas. New Mexico USA

Apart from a slight hiccup when we arrived (we couldn't find the main office to check-in), our stay at the Arbinsgate apartments was wonderful. The room was excellent and the location was superb. Definitely recommending this accommodation to anyone interested in staying in Oslo.

Genuine Expedia guest review

No issues with the hotel itself but as we arrived after 11pm we had to pick up the key from a 7/eleven store. The instructions given did not explain how far the store was from the hotel and we found ourselves walking through snow a long way at 12:30am trying to find the store. I would recommend getting the taxi to the store to pick up the key first […] but it wasn't explained adequately. Thankfully the rest of the stay was pleasant and uneventful and the hotel was warm and comfortable. Read more

This apartment is in a very good location. However, people who want to rent should be aware in advance what they are signing on for. The inconveniences for me were: 1. The location where the keys are picked up from and the apartment are 1 km apart. Having to carry many luggages between the two is not easy. 2. Once in, it seams that you are responsible […] for everything in terms of maintenance because there is nobody who will come to clean up or change the towels for example. In conclusion, this is not a HOTEL and you should be aware if this is what you are looking for. Otherwise, accommodation was ok. Read more

Nice...good location....not luxury though! Rooms were clean and functional but a little bit dated. For arbinsgate you need to check in 1 mile away.

We were very happy with our stay. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. The hotel is situated right in the center of the city, so everything (restaurants, interesting sights, shops) is in a walking distance. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Our luggage did not arrive and we left the staff to deal with its delivery while we were in Denmark […] at the time. Will definitely stay in the hotel again. Read more

I highly reccommend booking a Frogner House Apartment when visiting Oslo. We stayed here 3 nights. The reception at Skovvein 8 is very impressive, but not stuffy. And the receptionist, Angela was very friendly and helpful. We were able to spread out in our nice peaceful apartment with windows facing a small courtyard, large living room and large bedroom […] with plenty of storage space. The bed was very comfortable. We made the most of our tiny kitchen. There were no condiments but it was well Ikea equipped, ie: coffee press, kitchen scissors & good garlic press. Everything seemed fairly new. We did laundry in the building, downstairs with machines more effecient than home. Perfect timing coming from Copenhagen and heading to Balestrand. The location was good--quick walk to the harbor (ferries and more shopping, restaurants, coffee shops & grocery stores) or a tram. We walked to Frogner Park--a bit far but with great surprise. We would definitely stay here again! Read more

Altho this apartment was pleasant enough once there, it was inconvenient to have to check in at a different location and then make your own way back to this location. It was warm the day we arrived and having to treck to the book in and then back was tedious. The apartment block was handy to everything, (being across the road from the Palace) clean, […] comfortable and the complex also had a laundry for free use - always handy when travelling. The Bus/trams were at the top of the street and the metro was only a short walk away. Read more

My only concern was the difficulty encountered when trying to establish contact with real people, i.e. staff who worked for hotel. I transferred from another hotel in Oslo and wanted to drop my bags at the apartments, but contact was only possible via the intercom on the door. There were long delays in securing a response, both at the apartments and […] the parent hotel, so a slightly more person-friendly, user-service interface might be worthwhile to consider.

Absolutely perfect base for our family stay in Oslo. Nice clean rooms with basic facilities for cooking (essential for a family in Oslo as eating out every day is so expensive). Easy access to tram and T-bane for longer trips. Highlight of the trip was Korketrekkeren (2.5k toboggan run) from Frognersteren Station. Highly recommended.

Great location for getting around Oslo. We were there for a week. Comfortable good sized apartment. We had our 4 year old son with us and it was fine with him there also.

The Frogner House Appartments at Arbinsgate 3 are at the perfect location. The apartments are clean, tidy and well equiped. One small issue is the reception is at another location but the cleaning staff at Arbinsgate 3 are very helpful. Would totally recommend. Useful also to have a cook in option with the crazy prices in Oslo!

OK "appartment" with 2 separate bedrooms, kitchen and living room. Super location.but a losed door and bad routines for welcoming customers isn;t doing it for me.

This is a great place to stay. Very clean and a good location for downtown Oslo with the main drag in walking distance. Loads of room as its an appartment rather than a hotel room with its own kitchen and lounge. My only issue was that there is no reception. On arrival I hadn't a clue how to get in and my Paperwork from Hotels.com didn't seem to tell […] me either. Phone number on the front door meant a quick call and instructions that the key was at the local 7/11 :-) This very minor detail sorted and I had a great stay. Read more

Very nice room in Skovveien 8 which gives a feeling of being in an apartment built for living in, not just as a hotel room. Good size and comfortable beds. Unfortunately, there is no breakfast service, but you have a private fridge as well as a combined microwave/stove. There are lots of restaurants in the area as well as cafes and a grocery store.

Fint opphold i Arbinsgt. Sentralt, praktisk beliggenhet og nær kollektivtilbud. Rent og pent. Kun en ulempe: Trådløst nettverk var så dårlig/svakt signal at pc-jobbing måtte gis opp. Vi bodde i 5.et.

Appartement très propre, avec un emplacement parfait (arrêts de bus et tramway qui mènent en centre ville à 2 minutes de l'appartement, station de métro à 5min à pieds.

Apartment located 15 min walk from the reception! But my booking at hotels.com did not inform about this, so arrived to a locked door! Wanted to charge a 2.200 NOK deposit for 2 days stay!! Street had a lot of noise! Cold dorm feeling in rooms and building.

Frogner house app in Arbinsgate was de ideale uitvalsbasis om op 3 dagen tijd Olso te verkennen. Wij zijn een familie met 2 jonge kinderen en het verblijf was perfect.
