Bob W Gamle Oslo

The apartment was very clean and sizable with kitchen and laundry machine. The furniture seemed adequate but I wouldn’t be surprised if it needed replacement soon. We were able to cook dinner and breakfast each day. We checked out as I write but left our luggage in designated secure area for pick up when we leave to catch the ferry to Copenhagen. You won’t be disappointed!

WOW!!! WOW!! WOW!! Our stay was amazing! We arrived and was able to store our luggage until check in time of 3pm. Just a short walk from the main train station. The apartment was perfect for our family. Very modern, clean and spacious. Warm inside. Great size bathroom with washing machine/dryer! What a bonus in a stay. Great water pressure, good quality linen and comfortable beds. We honestly didn’t hear a thing when inside. Keyless entry was effortless and Bob W was able to assist us with ANYTHING we needed during our stay all via the link. Safe secure building. We used the luggage storage again when checking out as we had a later flight. Bob W provided us with information on sights and activities. We were able to walk to all locations or easily access the tram. We loved our stay so much we have now staying in various cities with Bob W and can confirm, they are all off the same high standard. Don’t stay in an overpriced hotel with shocking service, stay in a place that feels like your home away from home!

Bob W is not for me I did not love my stay with Bob W in Oslo and I doubt, based on my experience, that I will ever stay at a Bob W anywhere. There is a sign in the apartment that reads that this is a boutique hotel. That is far from the truth. My first issue was at the onset of my stay. I could not get into the property via my phone. I had to call to be let in. Luckily it was resolved. My second issue came when we opened the building door and our senses were overwhelmed by the restaurant odor (which carried into the bath towels, unfortunately). Third issue was the lighting in the apartment - it is really bad. You cannot see anything at night. The bedroom lighting was so bad that we had to move all our things into the hall in order to pack. This small hall had the best lighting (though the light switches did not work well so you never knew if you were going to get this light). The floor lamp and kitchen ceiling light were worthless. My next issue was safety. One afternoon there was a drunk walking by who was spitting on people thus I did not find comfort in the gate being held ajar with a rock for hours. The nonstick pans are scratched. The positives about this place is proximity to the train and the east side of town. Oslo’s public transportation is great. Bed and bedding were clean crisp and comfortable. Having a wash machine was a plus. Shower had nice pressure and the soap/shampoo/conditioner were good. This place is probably a great for the right person.

Very central and spacious Good communication throughout our stay. Apartment was very spacious. We enjoyed the benefit of an oven and washing machine. Public transport was readily available. Bus 37 stops across the street and the metro is close to Oslo central.
