My rule with Norway is the experience is on the outside of the hotel and not the hotel itself. It save you a good deal of money which will allow you to experience more of this incredible country. The Anker Hotel fits that description perfectly, it's superb value for money, is extremely clean and tidy and the rooms are generously... More

We only stayed one night at Anker and that was more than enough. While it may be relatively cheap (compared to other accomm in Norway, where everything is expensive), next time I would prefer to pay a little more and stay elsewhere. The rooms are very cramped, with no lockers to keep your things secure. The bunk bed was so... More

I normally do not stay in hostels but faced with ridiculous prices for hotels in one of the world's most expensive countries then had to economise this time. The hostel is about a 10 minute walk from Oslo Central Station & the main Bus Terminus, with the number 12 tram stopping virtually outside. Chose a 4 bed dormitory room. Was... More

I find it absolutely ridiculous that we have to pay extra for bedsheets. Why would the day rate of the hostel not come with sheets?! Absolute rip off.. The room smells and is so minimalist and you have to pay for everything, including utensils. The room's heater will only go up to a maximum of 21 degrees and the bed... More

Walking distance from the central station, clean, friendly staff who give out usefl info about the city, nice rooms with kitchens (you have to rent utensils though). Bathrooms could have been cleaner but I suppose this largely depends on the people staying in your room :-) Free WiFi. Would definitely recommend. More

We stayed at Anker hostel because Oslo is such an expensive city and given it's listed in Lonely Planet I thought it would do the job. It's ok but if you have a ground floor room DO shut your windows at night, even though it can get stuffy. I woke up to disturb someone outside the window and I've read... More

It is true that it is one of the cheaper places in Oslo, but I wouldn't recommend it. It is a filthy place, and I didn't take my shoes off in the room at all....not even when I showered. I think I might have even seen a blood stain on my pillow....yuck. Don't pay extra for the breakfast. it is... More

We, as three friends, stayed there two nights. It is great in terms of its location and price. I mean the price in Norwagian conditions. With this price we would be able to stay at least in a central three star hotel in Italy. It is close to the station and within walking distance to the city centre and many... More

It is not a secret: Oslo is one of the most expensive towns in the world. So when you don't want to spend too much money on a bed, you go at Anker Hostel. The hostel is fine, nothing special. There is a bathroom with shower in every room, which is quite nice, but that means you have to wait... More
