The apartments are functional but the feeling of the whole place is quite impersonal. Just enough is provided but no more so there is just one small pillow each, cutlery and plates in the kitchen with a fridge and a cooker but no toaster or microwave and no cleaning materials at all ... we had to buy our own dishcloth!...

This apartment building isn't in the nicest part of Oslo. It feels completely safe, but it's not a particularly fun or cool location. The check-in doesn't open until 1pm and it just consists of telephoning someone to check you in. HOWEVER, those are the only two downsides. It's clean, the kitchenette is decent, the bed's OK, the room was roomy... More

I spent three nights here in August with my wife (just two days after our wedding - we simply love Oslo...), and the feelings were similar to be part of this city. The Apartments are in a very convenient location (just consider to take a tram or bus if you are coming from the station with a lot of luggage),... More

We had booked but later cancelled a hotel near the city centre after reading its reviews on TA complaining about street noises at night. At Gruner, we were given an apartment in the second building at the back, off the main road. It was so quiet and felt so private that we immediately felt at home. The kitchen was well... More

We stayed at the Gruner Apartments on August 31-September 3rd. They are located outside the "hub" of central Oslo so we did not have to pay the prices being asked at the hotels in that area. We were able to walk to the apartment from the train station which took us about 20 minutes or so. Be sure to get... More

It wasn't quite what we expected as we had booked a 1 bedroom apartment but ended up with a studio apartment due to the whole place being fully booked. And be warned you have to ring a phone number when you arrive-someone then comes and meets you with the keys etc (we waited about 10-15minutes) Pros: Close to city centre... More

A short bus ride or 20-minute or so walk from downtown. New and very clean. We had a two bedroom apartment. Very comfortable beds. Large living room and well equiped kitchen. Beautiful, spacious bathroom. Decorated with IKEA furnishings so everything was crisp and modern. Quite luxurious compared to other accommodations we've had in Europe. We would definitely stay there again. More

Nice apartment, comfortable, clean and spacious, well equipped with free WiFi. You need a bus to get to the city center, but they run frequently so it's no problem. My only complaints are the shower- it was impossible to take a shower without flooding the entire bathroom floor, and that we only got 1 towel per person for the entire... More
