Boendet var rent och fräscht, de gemensamma utrymmena var trevliga och köket välrustat. Incheckningen var smidig och personalen svarade snabbt. Det var väldigt lugnt och tyst. En morgon satt jag ute och åt frukost och det var härligt. Gott kaffe!
Belysningen i rummet var omysig och sängen var hård. Det var ganska lyhört till korridoren och båda dörrarna till de gemensamma badrummen gnisslade, så för mig som sover lätt var det inte optimalt. Jag hade också rummet närmast dörren till trapphuset som öppnas med dörrstängare och den lät också.

Kjøkkenfasilitetene var over forventning. Rommet var veldig bra. God service. Lite gjester i tidsrommet.
Kunne vært flere knagger på rommet. Det samme i dusjen

As expectedly, location a bit hard to reach (on a hill) but beautiful surroundings. Good facilities, very comfortable, well-stocked kitchen, nice veranda.
Just that it's on the hill in terms of accessibility.

1. The price is relatively low.
2. The room is very quiet, comfortable and clean.
There was not any hair or body shampoo in the bathroom. But there was a hand-wash soap.

You really can’t get much better. Laundry, safety, quiet, clean, water pressure, fully stocked kitchen, A+!!!
Only down side is location., but this isn’t anything they can control. The bus stop is about .25 miles away, and it’s all uphill. Do yourself a favor and just take a taxi from the train station.
4.3
Everywhere was clean and looked renovated. The kitchen appliances were nice. The doors were automated. The bathrooms were clean. I also liked that there is a sink with a mirror in the room since you have to share bathroom.
Just the location. I hate walking up a hill for long.
4.3
Staff, peacful location with a good view. Ok, ameneties. Good with free coffee and tea.
No plugs for usb or mobile-laptops that were UK standard and international standard to charge devices. No option to order food in house. Not being informed of needing apps or bus card to pay fare with. And price a bit steep for self catering. A bit awkward carrying things up and down stairs to put in fridge and use kitchen.

The place is clean and well stocked, the bathroom is on the outside of the room. In the room you have a wash basin, downstairs they have a communal kitchen, the longe stocked with wine glasses and kitchen stocked with plates and pots and pans to cook, it’s in a really quite area but, I went in winter time and it got dark, early and there only one way to walk up from the bus stop it’s up a hill and kinda scary at night alone, perfect for two man trip, but Norway Pretty safe anyway, I’m just a scardy cat. I would definitely go back though because it was so pretty
Just that it was a scary walk in the dark other than that, great place, a little further out from Oslo central had to get a train from the airport to the closet station Sandvika and then the 240 bus to Emma. The bus comes every 30 minutes but if you like riding a bike or scooter it’s fine.

Very well organised and presented. Well equipped and very clean

This nice guesthouse was my first and last accommodation on my Norway trip. The whole building as well as all rooms are recently renovated. This house is barrier-free, too. The lounge is decorated stylishly and cosily. The individual sleeping rooms are furnished functionally. Everything, especially the wash rooms was clean.
The very kind and helpful staff made me feel almost like home during my stay. I enjoyed this quiet place surrounded by nature, although the capital isn't too far away. So I can recommend this nice place especially for travelers with a car but I also managed to get there by public transport - including a very short walk of about 500 m. One bus during midday is even stopping directly in fronz of it.
Around Emma Gjestehus you can easily go hiking or strolling. Sandvika, the next town and train stop starting point to Oslo is also worth a visit with its nice restaurants and the big shopping mall.
Another good reason to have a stay at Emma Gjestehus is the good price-performance relationship - compared to most other hotels and hostels in an around Oslo.
I would be glad to spend some more days there during my next vacation in Southern Norway.
I was completely satisfied. Maybe travelers who arrive by public transport might see it as a (manageable) hurdle to get there the last meters. For someone who needs action and a central place for staying, this peaceful and relaxing place might not be the first choice.

Comfy beds, great room size, very clean and good bathroom and shower facilities, bonus that there is a kitchen with most of the necessary utensils
When we had to go to the restroom during the night the lights in the hall and bathroom are so bright you almost get blinded :D maybe they could be less bright in the night

The family rooms are tight on space but you can make it work. The place is recently renovated and really clean. The staff gave us a lot of support especially when we were looking for public transport options to Oslo. The history of Emma Hjorth and what she did is fascinating. You not only get a nice, clean, affordable place to stay, it has a a lot of history.
4.3
extremely clean, well organised and comfortable
not great location if you want to visit Oslo. Great place for nature though.
4.3
A good affordable alternative for staying in Oslo center. Everything is nicely renovated and well maintained. There is a nice feeling of a robotic building with all the automatic doors.
The family room is absolutely tiny for 4 people. Reception hours are limited and it is problematic since they only accept payment in person during their office hours. There was no soap in the shower and no one to ask from sine there is no reception...

Excellent
Quite and feel like home.
