Forenom Apartments Sven Bruns Gate

Oslo

For a first time in Oslo, this was a great place. Just a short walk from Nationaltheatret station, which passes in front of the Royal Palace, so you see your first sight in Norway from the off.

There were three doors to the apartment building: first one was for the 300 series apartments, second for the 200 series and the third for the 100 series, which contained mine. A passcode was easier to keep track of and harder to lose than a physical key.

The apartment was just big enough for the two of us, with plenty of storage and a kitchen with an oven, which we used to bake a frozen pizza that we got at a mini mart a few blocks away. The baking pan already had parchment paper on it. That was a nice touch.

We cleaned up the place as best we could on the way out: squeegeed the bathroom floor, swept the bedroom/living room space and took our trash and recyclables to the bins out back. We even replaced the parchment paper on the baking pan in the oven. That's how encouraged we were after our stay here.

Tourist sights and the main shopping/dining avenue are just a few minutes walk and there's a tram stop just around the corner from the apartment building for points beyond. This is definitely the place to stay in when visiting Oslo.

Knock three doors and found just nok

It was quite difficult to find our apt, with an access at the backsideof a through a patio parking. The apt itself was clean and quite spacious, but dark with small windows without any view and equipped  very thrifty. There was no atmosphere, we stayed only for sleeping and a quick breakfast. We chose the apt. due to its location near the royal palace. We were able to make all our city visits by foot.

Functional, clean, well located - not more, not less

the 13th August I had one of the worse night in my life, spent in Sven Bruns Gate 7 . The bed sheets were smelly, the all room was smelly. as soon as I arrived in the room I objected to the customer service to have found the bed sheets and the bed that smelled of used. The room smelled heavy. I had to keep the windows open to let some fresh air come in, while people was loudly parting, with loud music, shouting, banging doors and smoking just 3 meters from my window. I had to call the security guard 3 times in the night. I didn't manage to close my eyes until 3:00 AM. And I was so nervous that it was impossible to fell asleep immediately. I had to face an important meeting early morning with all this discomfort on my shoulder. I want a proper refund. I want to be refunded completely, because this is not acceptable. Nowhere in the world I receive such a treatment. I will never use Forenom again.

one night, one nightmare

Mobilising to Norway to work for a year found ourselves in these apartments.  Midnight sun, no curtains, two beds more like 2 camp beds, make the bed when we leave find bed stripped on our return, no replenishment of kitchen towel or dish washer tablets, electrics coming off kitchen range in your hand.

Could be me but in 40 years of travelling these are close to bottom of the league.

Can’t be all negative location good.

Serviced Apartment more like unserviced

We Oslo Apartments for three nights in late June 2018.

The apartment we had was on the ground floor and was accessed from the carpark behind the apartments. (Apartment 111)

The apartment had:
1.  two good sized bedrooms (both with windows opening on to the street outside), 
2. big kitchen (with all cooking and eating requirements (plates, cutlery, etc), coffee making facilities and small refrigerator.
3. large lounge room with TV with relaxing lounge and coffee table
4. reasonable sized bathroom with washing machine and 
5. good storage areas. with ironing board and iron
6. Parking area ($)

All up a good apartment for the three people we had in our party. That said, the rooms could do with a clean and a paint to pick it up.

Note that the pick up place for keys is not in no. 1  Wergelandsveien but is in Holsberg Gate (opposite the convenience store which is in the Radisson Blu building). It took us an hour to find this!!!!! Why couldn't they get this right in the email??????

V ery good location - A good two bedroom apartment - could be better

The apartment itself wasn't too bad. If you're out-and-about for most of the day and need the peace at the end of it all, its perfect. (Do be prepared for an unexpected linen and towel change without any notification). Apartment is convenient and has everything a self catering apartment should have. 
 
FINDING the reception area, to get the keys to your place ...that is an adventure on its own! Lets just say, add an hour or two onto your travel time before settling in. However, the reception staff always greets you with warmth and friendliness :)) And they all speak english (bonus)

Moving about from the apartment is easy. Metro's, busses and trams all close by, with  a few convenient stores in close proximity 
(tad bit expensive, but hey it is Oslo!)

An eventful and enriching experience. Takk Oslo!
 

It did the job - price negotiable

We rented two apartments. They were on #7 and on 3rd floor facing inside court yard. Small, but clean. All we needed. Great location. No elevator and lugging suitcase up was not that comfy. No parking in vicinity. Only street paid parking for up to two hours Mon-Sat. A bit of challenge. Good restaurants in vicinity and a lot to choose from.

Good lication

Apartment in oslo center, nice apartment centrally placed close to Hollbergs plass. 
Walking distance from the trem stop in Hollbergs plass, the castle, Aker brygge and many other things that you might want to consider visiting while you are in oslo. 
Apartment equipped with anything that you need, fridge, stove, water cooker and microwave. Kabel tv and a comfortable double bed inn separate bedroom. 
Everything is new and fresh, clean and overall a great way to live. 
Just get an apartment in the 2nd floor or higher. 
You are not able to see out of the window in the first floor, (frosted glass), also it is on street level and very easy for anybody to climb in trough if you forget to shut them..

Make sure you get above the 1st floor.

There must be a new club or disco on the first level. Friday and Saturday nights until 0200, there was very LOUD music and kept me awake even with earbuds. 
Otherwise, I like the apartments. The price, location and rooms are good. I wish you could pick up the key somewhere closer though. Too far to walk after a long flight with luggage and taxi isn't very cheap. I have emailed the office about the noise but have not heard back yet. The apartment comes with some amenities, such as shampoo and paper towels and one roll of toilet paper. So I will bring things like a kitchen sponge, laundry detergent, extra toilet paper and shampoo/soap, instead of buying since Oslo is kinda expensive.
