Demims Apartments Oslo — Cozy, Central & Stylish

Demims Apartments Oslo — Cozy, Central & Stylish Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Demims Apartments Oslo — Cozy, Central & Stylish on Trondheimsveien, you immediately get that “local living” vibe rather than typical hotel sterility. The building sits right in the heart of Grünerløkka, and honestly, the name pretty much delivers on its promise — it’s got this understated Scandinavian charm that feels both modern and welcoming. You know what struck me first? How quiet it actually is despite being on a main street, which in Oslo is no small feat.

The Grünerløkka Advantage

Here’s the thing about staying in Grünerløkka — you’re basically living like an Oslo local, not a tourist. This three-star property puts you within walking distance of some of the city’s best coffee roasters, vintage shops, and that weekend market at Birkelunden that most guidebooks miss. I mean, couples absolutely love this area (they’re rating the location 9.5 out of 10), and after spending time here, I totally get why. The Akerselva river runs nearby, perfect for those morning jogs that help justify all the excellent pastries you’ll inevitably consume.

The Apartment Experience

Each apartment feels more like borrowing a friend’s place than staying in typical hotel accommodation. The room layouts are smart — not huge, but thoughtfully designed with that Nordic efficiency thing down pat. What really works is the kitchenette setup, because let’s face it, Oslo dining can get expensive fast, and having the option to grab groceries from Rema 1000 down the street and cook something simple is actually pretty liberating. The Wi-Fi is solid (important for those work-from-anywhere moments), and the beds are genuinely comfortable — none of that too-soft or rock-hard nonsense.

Getting Around

The tram connections from here are honestly fantastic — you can reach the city center in about 15 minutes, or head up to Frogner Park without any hassle. Parking in this neighborhood can be tricky if you’re driving, but most guests don’t really need a car anyway since everything’s so accessible by foot or public transport. The nearby Grünerløkka station connects you to pretty much anywhere you’d want to go, and there’s something satisfying about hopping on the T-bane like you actually live here.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back isn’t just the location (though that 8.3 rating for location speaks volumes) — it’s that this place strikes the right balance between independence and service. You get your own space to spread out, but there’s still someone to help if things go sideways. The value proposition makes sense too, especially when you factor in money saved on meals thanks to that kitchen setup. Recent guests consistently mention feeling like they discovered a local secret rather than just another place to sleep, and honestly, that’s probably the best compliment any accommodation can get in a city like Oslo.
