Oslo hotels near Akershus Fortress

Cons: The hotel was very basic. We had stayed in a Thon hotel for two nights prior and this was much nicer. Breakfast had more choice and tv had more channels. The swimming pool is on a different floor to changing rooms so had to walk in a towel down some stairs. Outside lift was not working which my daughter wanted to use. Then found out lift was working but not for hotel guests.

Cons: Strange drunk or druggie people outside hotel between hotel and train station. More than other EU capitols, all begging for money.

Cons: No power plugs near the bed. Bed only had bedding for 1 person, even through we specified 2 at reservation and check-in.

Cons: Bathrooms a bit dated. Wifi was spotty. Business center computers so old they weren't comparable with any up-to-date programs, so I was not able to conduct business as I wished.

Cons: very busy lobby and breakfast area

Cons: Swimming pool only for adult or kids who can swim. They don’t have any protection for children who can’t swim. Was sad for my daughter, because we choose this hotel for swimming pool.

Cons: Housekeeping in the room. Found a little brown "surprise" in the toilet when first arrived and spotted some black residue coming off of the plug in the bath

Cons: The rooms were very dated. The carpeting was worn and not vacuumed every day. The bathrooms were manageable if there were more towels. I don’t expect Air-Con, but the windows only open three inches. Hard to get air-flow in the unusual heat.

Cons: It was our first trip and first stop in Norway in our life, our expierence with parking by Anker Hotel was absolutely terrible and we will not recommend this place to anyone else we care and will never visit this hotel again. Ankel hotel has a parking place BELONGS to a private parking company. But on the entrance of the parking it's written clearly: Q-Park Anker Hotel. The parking lot welcomed us with a fine of 80 euro, while we were trying to pay the parking fee in the hotel, in about 10 minues before we returned to the hotel. Anker Hotel claimed they are seperated with the parking lot and asked us to complain to the parking company. How can a hotel list its name on the parking place without being responsible for the parking management? We have to pay this extra 80 euro for the 10 mins absence while Anker Hotel claims nothing to do with it. Therefore we regret our stay there and will never come back again.

Cons: Very basic feel, nothing romantic about it, kind of like a school dorm.

Cons: The WiFi didn’t work and there was a poorly communicated fire alarm at 2am

Cons: No coin laundry nearby. Be aware that this is a cashless hotel. That's not a bad thing, just don't plan to use cash for anything. The single room is tiny. Bed, restroom, entrance, area to step off bed--each make up a quarter of the room. The sink is too small to wash a shirt in. Don't plan to hand wash anything.

Cons: Rooms were small, pillows were terrible.

Cons: Rooms a little outdated

Cons: Some staff members are helpful, and some are not

Cons: There is a roof-top viewing area that we have access to from 9am to 8pm was locked throughout the day, meaning I never got a chance to enjoy the views from the hostel roof. Noise isolation wasn't great, you could hear the water pipes in use throughout the building.
