Frogner House Apartments - Colbjørnsens gate 3

Schöne Lage in Nähe zum Schloßpark, Innenstadt gut zu Fuß erreichbar, Zimmer hätte sauberer und gepflegter sein können

Easy check in with machine and convenient parking

Great location. Tram noise as with many Oslo apartments. Small bathrooms. But overall a very well furnished apartment.

I was able to collect the key from Skovveien and then take an easy 5 minute walk to Colbjornsensgt. The room was excellent and overlooked the Palace gardens as a little bonus. As always with Frogner House I appreciated a comfortable bed, a sitting area and the general facilities a standard hotel room normally does not provide.

I booked this hotel and then stayed in it because it had a washer in the room, which was very helpful in the middle of my long trip. The washer was it’s major redeeming quality. To check in at another location (even though I was aware when I booked it) was inconvenient. When you have been traveling all day with a very heavy bag adding another 10 minutes of hiking around is not a perk. Maybe not a problem if you had a car. The throw pillow on the bed and the ottoman for your suitcase both had icky white stains on them. I wanted to cover the ottoman with a towel to that I could still use it, but there was only one towel in the room, and a note that to request towels was an extra charge and they were only delivered on Wednesdays. Also there was no floor mat towel, and so any water that flooded from the shower could not be easily cleaned up, making getting ready uncomfortable and wet. Also, there was no art on the walls, and the blackout curtain for one window was a few inches too short. It would be nice, as others have mentioned to have instructions for the washer. Despite googling the brand and searching through instruction manuals I still managed to somehow wash with hot water resulting in ruining a few important articles of clothing for my trip. The location is perfect. With a few changes from the hotel management (washer instructions, cleaner furniture and more towels) this could be a much more comfortable place to stay. I, however, would not stay here again.
