Location is convenient, about 10 mins walk from Oslo S. although it is in the direction nearer to the office buildings and away from the attractions. Breakfast spread is amazing and tastes good. Room and bathroom are spacious, bed is soft and comfortable. The only drawback is the amenities. There is no toothbrush provided, and I find the shampoo, conditioner, and hand wash a little too mild / diluted, would have preferred it to be thicker and foamier. Body soap is ok.

Nice hotel and right in front of the hotel there is a tram stop if you plan to take tram 12 to & fro from most sightseeing places . However I find the room a bit dark and lack of lightings. We requested for different smaller pillows as those provided in the room were huge to sleep on. Overall we had a very pleasant experience.

The room was clean and tidy. Although the sheets weren't made perfectly, it didn't affect usability. The room had a kettle, a TV with CCTV-4, and provided shower gel and lotion. However, you had to bring your own disposable toothbrush and comb.

The location is super convenient! I took the train from the airport to the central station, walked across a skybridge, and was at the hotel in just two minutes. The front desk staff were very welcoming, and the room was cleaned promptly every day. I arrived at the hotel at 8:30 AM to check in, and the front desk informed me that my booked room type wasn't available yet. I upgraded to a better room for an extra 300 RMB per night and was able to check in immediately. The room was quite spacious. Breakfast was also plentiful, and on Saturdays, you need to reserve a dining time beforehand, which you can do at the front desk during check-in. The pizza place downstairs is pretty good too!

Very central location next to the central railway station, restaurants and shopping malls. Clean rooms but quite small. Good breakfast

We stayed in the studio room for two nights. It's about 2km from the city center, but due to the uphill walk, it can take around 40 minutes on foot. There's a market open until 11 PM on the ground floor of the building. The room had kitchen equipment, but the lack of a kettle was a significant drawback. Check-in and check-out were easy, and the staff were helpful. Would we stay again? We'd prefer somewhere closer to the center.

I took the ferry to Oslo, then a 7-minute walk after bus 81 from the port to reach the hotel. I got my room card an hour earlier than check-in time, and I really loved the top-floor room with a terrace. The hotel is right next to a shopping street. I bought an Oslo Pass, and many attractions are within walking distance, plus it's easy to catch any public transport. Although the furniture is a bit old, the room was clean and tidy, and the breakfast was delicious.

Great location, clean, very modern to the point there's no reception and you do the check-in on a touch screen tablet and receive the key from a machine. Loved the free luggage storage on site! The room was quite small though. A lot of hooks around the room to hang stuff, but nowhere to put food, for example. I wouldn't recommend staying with large suitcases.

The staff at Smart Hotel Oslo are quite friendly and helpful. Outstanding breakfast selection. Be aware that booking breakfast is cheaper online than over the counter. The rooms are cozy and modern, tight spaced if you're tall, but you sleep extremely well. Guests are equally as polite.

Anker Hotel are newly renovated with modern design. Like the mattress and very functional design of the room. Tram station is just right in front of the hotel and within 10 mins you are at city central. In fact it is all able to walk to most of designations. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Oslo
