Oslo hotels near Nationaltheatret

Cons: Somewhat generic construction. Little atmosphere

Cons: WiFi works in some areas.

Cons: The hotel rooms are very small, like staying on a cruise ship, economy class. The rooms are very spartan with a small beds, a desk, a chair and small bathroom. Otherwise, they did provide a good wifi signal. If you don't mind clean and spartan, this hotel would be great when in Oslo.

Cons: No kleenex

Cons: Was a bit noisy due to some exterior construction on the building next door but that’s nothing that can be controlled by the hotel.

Cons: My wife and I arrived on the 17th August 2015, and on attempting to check-in we were told the "computer system" was not working and therefore we we not able to check in. We were told to either wait (they could not provide an estimate on how long it would take). After a 15-min wait we were checked in "manually". As an American Carlson member, I presented my Club Carlson Gold card, but it wasn't accepted because my trip was booked through Kayak! Nevertheless after a short delay we were in our room. Immediately we noticed that the carpet in the room was dirty, and there were 2-single beds (as opposed to a double as we booked) Credit to the front desk staff who promptly reassigned us to a "newly refurbished" room. The room was a marked improvement over the last, and we happily settled in; unpacking our suitcases and preparing for an afternoon of sightseeing. On return in the evening, we prepared for the night and around 20:00 we tried to lock the door. The door lock did not work. A call to the front desk and a couple of minutes later someone from maintenance was at our door. I explained that the door wouldn't lock from the inside and he insisted that the lock was working. I was a bit taken back by his curt response, but nevertheless invited him to try. What followed next had me flabbergasted! The maintenance employee closed the door, and using his body weight proceeded to to yank on the door handle until he could engage the lock. Curtly he replied, "There it is locked". I attempted to unlock door by turning the lock itself and when I couldn't he demonstrated how to unlock the door. Standing on his toes and again using all his body weight he pressed down on the door handle until the lock disengaged. Again the curt response, "There it is unlocked". I couldn't believe it! Visibility annoyed at this point, when I pointed out that locking the door in such a manner would be a fire hazard (not to mention my wife will never be able to unlock the door if I locked it), he suggested that I actually didn't need to lock the door as no one from the outside could get in without a key. In response I stated that any member of staff could enter if the door was unlocked, to which he acknowledged was true and said I could either call the front desk to arrange a new room, lock the door as he demonstrated, or leave the door unlocked; but there was nothing he could do to fix the lock. Another call to the front desk and we were offered a room on the 20th floor. So after repacking we moved to our 3-room for the day. From then on the only issues we faced were with our room keys. Every time we left our room, the room key would not let us back in. So we had to make our way to the front desk where they would make a new key. Every time without fail!

Cons: Carpet next to bed needed cleaning, and our daughters' shower did not drain. reported both.

Cons: Obviously, we didn't like the need to find another hotel at the very last minute.

Cons: Room temperature was a bit warm for my taste - the ac was apparently not on yet (early spring), so I could not make the room cooler.

Cons: Didn't really have air conditioning -- our room was really hot which was disruptive

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: They do not provide any shuttle service from the metro. Oslo has a very convenient metro system so we did not rent a car. The front desk told me it was a short walk from the metro. It was a tough up hill walk with our luggage and family.

Cons: One of the women at the front desk.

Cons: Rooms were small, pillows were terrible.

Cons: Rooms a little outdated

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

Cons: There were children playing soccer in the hallways until late at night. They were loud but that's not really the hotel's fault. You have to have a different password for each device that you connect to WIFI which was different.

Cons: the big surprise was the breakfast, a oneslice ham sandwich with a strange drink maybe orange

Cons: We arrived after 11pm, and the man who checked us in was hostile and rude. The shower was setup in the corner of the bathroom with only a curtain, so water got everywhere. Though parking was listed as an amenity, they don't have parking or any association with local lots. We were directed to a nearby public lot. Breakfast consisted of a very thin, bland ham and cheese sandwich on regular, sliced wheat bread and a tiny, watered down juice.

Cons: A little dingy - but acceptable.

Cons: this is a budget hotel, may be half a step above a hostel. place is run down and room was stripped-to-the-bones basic. it looked clean, though. i checked in, saw the room and moved to a different hotel immediately
