Loved it, only thing I didnt like was that i could connect to the wifi the password and network name was different from what was in the book inside the apartment. Could have had a better bed but besides those two thing it was excellent. Would highly recommended 👌. Customer service was top-tier.

Location is great. Apt itself is not very comfortable. Things dont work. Report to customer service is an exercise in futility. TV was not working. I was told somoene will come over and take care of it. Never happened.

Apartment is clean, tidy and spacious. Only thing is you have to go to another location to get the key. With the heat and luggage, it's indeed not easy but we managed to send one person in our group to get it. Apart from this, all good.

The apartment was within walking distance of city attractions, modern, well equipped and clean. However, access to the shower was difficult.

+ nice apartment in very good location
+ less than 10 minutes to central station
+ spacious, well equipped
+ easy access, but also with negatives below
- cleanliness is not of highest standard
- guest is partially responsible for final cleaning, obliged to take out all the trash when checking out (= lower standard)
- old windows, you can hear all the rush from the street
- generating and distribution of access codes are not secure

We loved our 4-day stay at the Forenom Apartments. It was a short walk to everything we wanted to do!

Good location but apartment is painted dark grey with dark green curtains. We found it very depressing, exposed nails around door frames, no pictures, wardrobe in living room etc.
Wouldn’t recommend.

Keys (a code really) are collected in another place, lights could not be turned off (really bright lights on ceiling), switch not working, on the phone (there is no real person to help) they told us to disconnect the mains, so we had no lights in all the apartment, no microwave, no working fridge, etc., with no possible help until Monday (it was Friday 6pm), after we would have left.
One day the entrance codes where reset by error, all guests, not only us, locked out from the building and apartments for over an hour, at least.
It should come with a warning, “stay there at your own risk”, I am sure there are better choices in Oslo for the price.
PD: I asked por a partial refund at the e-mail they gave us, and have not heard a thing from them yet, apart from an automated response, so they did get the mail..

Would recommend this apartment to everyone. Better than expected in every way. Steps away from the opera house, Oslo S and fortress.
Only hiccup was the key lock is a bit unreliable. Better choice of technology would easily fix it.
Check in was near Royal palace and national gallery. Left luggages at the check in office for early check in and spent time at those places

Firstly, on the plus side the property is in a goof location despite not being that easy to find. The apartment was hot, thermostat not working. Windows opened onto a busy road. No escaping vehicle noise. Fortunately the beauty, charm and magic of Oslo rescued us from what could have been an unpleasant 2 night stay

The reception was far for us to pick up the key, it was not convenient for guest who doesn’t live in Oslo and specially after travelling. But the apartment was really Nice and clean, the bed was good to sleep in.

This apartment was spacious, clean, modern and located in the center of Oslo, within walking distance of the water, the central train and bus stations and shopping district. My only beef was that check in was at advertised as at 1500 on the Expedia site (late, in my opinion), then 1600 was the time quoted by the office managing the property....and it wasn't ready even then. Otherwise, it was a great deal and we enjoyed it greatly.

Initially i was mistakenly charged twice for this appartment. The vendor then pretended to initiate a refund but then went silent and has kept the outstanding money to date, so far lost 750 bucks, 4490 nok not refunded. This is same as theft so stay well clear of thus one. I am still trying to get money back through official channels. I have all the evidence should they complain, expedia haven't dealt with it yet either. They can have all the evidence, shoud they need it any way, after all this is their client and they sell their product. Needs to be sorted. Happilly look forward to speaking with them on this.
About the room then. The 45 minute walk to check in is a joke. The site is like a building site, plaster and crap everywhere, filthy. The lights are on timers that just don't work. Just avoid .

It was really terrible. Keys have to be collected from a location thats 20mins walk away. Notice came in only on the day itself. Lucky I had a local phone and internet to call. The staff's non-chalent attitude is reallt dissapointing. Will never come back!

Great place, great location & nearly perfect. But, it was noisy, really noisy‼️The first night the heavy drinking, smoking & partying went on nearly all night. The second night the drinking, smoking & yelling continued, but somewhat abated. Still, a marvelous place.

It was newly refurbished and clean but the plumbing was problematic, the door to one room was blocked by the beds, and the kitchen items were sparse ( no teatowel for example). Overall the unit felt badly designed.

Right in the city center and walking distance to most sights. The apartment was clean, comfortable and cosy. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything one needs to feel at home (coffee maker, kettle, oven, microwave, dishwasher, pots, dishes, glasses, etc.). It was perfect for us that wanted to cook our own pasta before the race.
We would happily stay there again.

The apartment was even better than in the photos. It had ample space for our family of 4 (parents and 2 adult children). The location was central, within walking distance to a number of top sights in Oslo like the Oslo Opera, Cathedral, City Hall and the Nobel Peace Center, as well as shopping and restaurants. Also just around the block was a small convenience store. The only challenge for us was that the apartment office for check-in was not at the same location but was about a 15-20 minute walk away. The walk itself was not bad at all but we had large suitcases and it was raining. Just as Oslo Apts recommended, the SAS Bus (Flybussen) stops right across from the hotel office, and is the most affordable option to/from the airport.

Good location close to Oslo central station, the Opera House and Water front. Small windows looked out onto central courtyard, so quite dark inside apartment. Kitchen reasonably well equipped. Wished it had a tumble dryer as it was difficult to dry our laundry in the drying room. Also a hair dryer and some hand soap would have been helpful in the bathroom. The check-in office is quite far away so you have to go there first, and then travel to the apartment. Would be okay if you were a couple with minimal luggage.

Since this is an apartment, do not expect daily housekeeping. Kitchenwares are well equipped. They only provide me the shampoo, anyway I did bring my own toiletries so it does not bother me. Overall is good and strongly recommended.

This apartment was excellent in terms of location and overall amenities. The only reason this is not rated a high 4 or 5 is because it is on a busy street and it is very noisy at night. It was not as bad with the windows closed but in the summer we needed to keep them open to cool down the apartment. This was our only concern with the apartment. Had a 2 bedroom it was excellent for 3 people.

Excellent position, close to Central Railway Station and Copenhagen to Oslo DFDS Ferry Terminal. Both within five to ten minute walking distance even with luggage. Large fully self contained apartment with separate bedroom, lounge area, kitchen and table/ chairs for meals. Good size bathroom with washer and dryer. Quiet street with blackout curtains, needed in Scandinavian summers with long hours of daylight. Many choices for coffee, snacks, breakfast necessities within a few minutes walk. Supermarkets a ten minute walk away in the Oslo Central Station complex.
4.0
Great location, just 7 minutes from the central station. However, we needed to take the tramway to collect the keys from a different location on the first day. Apartment was spacious with everything looking new and spotless. Would highly recommend, especially if for families needing a bit more living space.

Firstly, if you want to walk into a reception and walk straight to your room, this is not the hotel for you. On arrival into Oslo central train station, I purchased a tram ticket and caught the tram (with my luggage) four stops to check in at the reception desk. Then I caught the tram again, 3-4 stops to get back to the apartment. Frustrating... absolutely. However, upon opening the door into the apartment, I was astounded. The self contain apartment, was well furnished and had everything I needed for my stay. I was upgraded to a three bedroom apartment instead of a one bedroom apartment, and all the rooms were of a reasonable size. The lounge area was comfortable, the kitchen was user friendly and the washing machine was handy (no dryer, only an air rack). The bathroom was great, nice and big, with good water pressure. The area doesnt have much in terms of cafes and restaurants, but they are only a block or two away. The main shopping area and central train station was within walking distance, with bags.Would I stay again... absolutely. If you can overcome the requirement to check in elsewhere (up to 20min walk), you will be rewarded with a great apartment in Oslo. (The receptionist said they are looking opening an office closer)PS: read the instructions for opening the door with the key card, so you dont feel stupid when you cant get into the apartment!!!

Loved Oslo great city . Kontki museum a must , 0pera house walk on roof , 2 hour fiord cruise all excellent. Not as expensive as we though, city prices . Will be going back and will recommend Oslo and the apartments to friends and family . Oslo City pass well worth the money . I have had to put a rating for hotel staff, there where no staff at the apartment, but letting staff where we picked the key up from where very helpful.

Nice condo for a two week stay, business for my husband, touristy stuff for me. Really appreciated full kitchen, eating area, sitting room, and separate bedroom. Newly renovated with modern furniture and new kitchen appliances, cookware and utensils. Walking distance to Central Station and main tourist area with lots of eating places and grocery stores. Very quite building except for road construction down below.
One caveat: they do not give any extra supplies! We had one roll of toilet paper, 2 dishwashing tablets, 1 roll of paper towel. That's it. We had to purchase our own supplies when we ran out.
Also, the washing machine is not easy to figure out. It is a washer only, no dryer.
