Central City Apartments

Yes its very comfortable parking and kitchens is clean and fully equipment and staff very kind I recommend my family and friends to come stay, and enjoy

Very good comfy beds warm dirty sock found when sorting sofa bed

smoke alarm rang suddenly at 6 in the morning when there was no smoke or any smell. fortunately we were about

We booked the hotel for the price, as it’s cheaper than others in the area - but it is cheap for a reason and I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

There was no receptionist present on entry, only a telephone to check in with an offshore call centre and a surprise extra 2000 NOK deposit on entry.

The room itself was not sanitary, with stains on the beds & visible damage to the walls. Plugging in a phone charger caused the lights to dim & there was a concerning amount of condensation on several appliances. The whole room was unpleasantly hot.

The room we were staying in also had access to an exterior patio area, which had been left unlocked - and we were provided no key to lock the door.

This isn’t up to standard for a 3 Star Hotel, the only advantages here are price & location, but I’d recommend saving yourself the stress and booking elsewhere.

This was a good choice for a 1 night stopover in Oslo. On the outskirts of the centre but walkable to the waterfront or good metro service. Not much nearby to keep you local for entertainment. Check-in was quite straightforward when we arrived but the details given beforehand weren’t that clear. Basically, turn up at reception, lift the phone and speak to the receptionist, pay your room deposit on the card reader and validate a room entry card. The room was great. Basic cooking facilities, microwave, fridge, kettle and washer dryer included.

Lack of basic amenities such as bathmat, broom ( because the house rules expected guest to leave room clean ), dish drying cloth, can opener.

The apartment was very basic and felt like it needed a refresh. Otherwise, basic place for a budget price. Location is some way from centre and not the best area but not far from the Botanical Gardens.

Good value for Oslo, near metro station ,shops, bars , bakery's, quiet location

The check in is done by phone. You don't see anyone during check in or out. We were instructed to open the windows when cooking. We did that, and also used the fan over the stove, but the smoke alarm went off. A gentleman came to our door and asked if the windows were open, and we said yes, and that we also had the fan on. He said okay, that's fine, and left. After that we also used the room fan directed at the window while cooking and the alarm didn't go off. One night there was a group of very loud young men outside for several hours but we couldn't figure out what they were doing. The building itself has different levels and sections with no elevator. We discovered our room was near another entrance we could have used without hauling our luggage through different sections and up stairways.

I was not able to stay at this property as there is a self-check in but no one at Central City Apartments will answer messages or calls regarding how to check-in. I have asked Expedia for my money back since I literally could not get in to my room and had to get another hotel, but Expedia said they would have to call the property. Expedia has been unable to get anyone to answer at the property (same as me;) and yet still won't agree to refund my money. Never book Central City Apartments because you'll end up paying double for another hotel in Oslo. Expedia is going downhill as well and still has not contacted me about returning my money (Expedia was supposed to send me an email as soon as they were able to reach Central City Apartments.)

The room was perfect for what I needed. Was clean.
Basic kitchen supplies.
Building appeared well-kept inside

Impossible to communicate with them. I sent multiple emails and there was zero acknowledgement.


Uncomfortable beds.
The area was not bad, fairly close.

DON'T CONSIDER THIS PROPERTY. For the price, it horrendous. Disciplable communication for a self service and no reception service. At checkin you have a call via a shelf ad that's IF you get through on the first attempt. Several calls later, the only thing the indian woman on call cared for was the deposit money you'll pay (about 150 pounds)but you won't know about this amount until you sadly committed to the property. Expedia take zero accountability for this. Moving to get to the room, you also don't have a working telephone in the room. It's a lousy room. Old, haggard. Daft use of space with a TV set up far up the guttering height. Dispicable kitchenette. The property offers scratched frying pan which would class as a terrible health hazard seeping poison into you. Basic basic things they couldn't think of got the price paid. The electricity was horrific in which it went off during the day. The hot water for the shower also was a problem but who do you tell? You couldnt get hold of anyone. This moves me to my next issue which were the tiny beds provided on the hardened bedding ever. If you are over UK size 10 (female) you are most likely going to fall out the bed (pictures) or hit yourself. It's 2/3rds of a single bed. I hated my stay and had poor help from Expedia. A full investigation should be done and a complaint to the atol protection for the failure to keto he me feeling safe. On the very last day I met some of the staff who seemed nice. Yawn. Hated my stay.

Perfect stay for 5 friends at the end of a ski trip. Convenient location, and efficient check in etc.

The only complaint I have is that because these are unmanaged or at least I never met or saw an employee - there was no one to deal with the folks who decided to stay up yelling and screaming all night. The next night too someone came onto a shared balcony and tried to look into my window. Just there wasn’t anyone to call in these situations for help.

This was hands down the worst experience I’ve ever had, and I didn’t even stay for more than an hour. Despite their claim of a ‘no smoking’ policy, the entire building, including the room, reeked of smoke. As someone with asthma, this was not only unacceptable but dangerous for my health.

To make matters worse, the balcony window in the room was shattered, making it clear that this is not a safe or well-maintained property. I immediately requested a refund, but they flat-out refused and showed no concern for the health and safety issues I brought up.

Their dismissive attitude and lack of accountability are appalling. I even recorded the condition of the room and the shattered window as proof. If you value your health, safety, and money, avoid this place at all costs. Absolutely unacceptable!

Every self-contained studio has a different layout and they're quite spacious in size. Some, like the last one, have balconies, with different views.

Very good value

I liked the modern decor and furniture. The room is spatious, with a seating area and a balcony. Reminded me of Athens, where I grew up.

Spatious self-contained studio, furnished in a modern and minimal manner, with a balcony.
