BJØRVIKA Apartments, Opera Area, Oslo City Center

We arrived and hauled our luggage to the office to pick up the apartment keys. The office was unattended because it was late on a Sunday. We tried to find the location id to enter after clicking the sharebox link but that didn't work so we called the after hours number. A friendly helpful security man directed us to a building around the cornrer. So we hauled our luggage there found the location Id and the sharebox opened. We now had to find the apartment with the aid of a hand drawn map. To cut a long story short we again hauled our luggage around the opera area for some time before eventually finding the apartment. Everyone we spoke to from the Bjorvika team for assistance was friendly and helpful but I don't see how this could have been anything but an awkward check-in.

Nice and newly built apartment. Close to many sights. However, check-in was not very easy. You have to walk quite a distance. And many basic things like shampoo and salt is not in the apartment. Someone next door had a party during my stay, it was very noisy. The apartment is currently facing a big building ground. This was not a nuisance for me, but for someone else it might be.

Pros- - [ ] Beautifully decorated and spacious welcoming apartment - [ ] Lovely open views throughout the whole apartment which was beautiful with everything covered in snow (this was a pleasant surprise as pictures on selling site did not do the views justice ) - [ ] Spacious balcony , both in living and bedroom area - [ ] Great central location - [ ] Shower is really spacious and powerful - [ ] Got all the kitchen equipment you need to clean, and cook etc - [ ] There was only two pillows and one heater, but I asked if I could have more pillows and an additional heater and by the time I got back to the apartment they was there waiting for me :) - [ ] Bed is really comfortable with great views. - [ ] Check out experience was smooth, we just had to leave the keys on the side. Cons- - [ ] Check in experience- having to walk all the way to the office to get the keys then walk another 10 minutes to the actual apartment.Also when following the location on google maps it taken us to the back door, it was not until I rang them to ask why they was not answering they explained that I was at the back door and not the main door. I could have done with this information prior. - [ ] Not often I’ve gone to an apartment without the basic shampoo and body wash for showering - [ ] Smart telly does not work well with connecting your phone and opening your apps, I think it needs updating. - [ ] The WiFi barcode on the door does not work, you actually have to connect to the inter

It was a good stay. We could have used a second key but that may have been because we did early check-in. Need a floor mat inside the front door especially during inclement weather. Need better instructions or manuals for appliances. Washer door would not open after cycle was run. Light over kitchen table was flickering, needs to be checked. We had a wonderful stay, location was excellent and convenient especially close to all transit.

A little tricky to find the office to check in. You need to head to the 'wrong' end of platform 3 to access the pedestrian bridge above. Nice cosy apartment, good kitchen facilities and bathroom, large bedroom. 4 min walk to trams and buses, a good grocery store 1 minute away and food court 4 mins walk

The property itself is ok. But the elevator work sporadic. The biggest issue was the temperature set up on the apartment.It was freezing and we could not adjust it...We got so sick that we have to call a Doctor for help. It was torture and inhumane. I communicated with the to fix the issue and was no resolve

LOVELY NEW FULLY EQUIPT APARTMENT Location great Near transport and stores

This is a great property. It’s very conveniently located close Oslo Central station. It’s well maintained and spacious. Take into consideration that train station is nearby so you will hear some noise at all times. Otherwise it’s much better than pretty much any local hotel. Easy connection to historic places as well Oslo Airport if you use Fly To Get.

I did not like that a cleaning charge was NOT included in the total price for the room.
