Maya Apartments – Sentrum

Maya Apartments – Sentrum Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Maya Apartments – Sentrum on Tollbugata, you immediately get that “I’m in the thick of things” feeling. This three-star property sits right in the pulse of Oslo — and I mean really right in it. The building itself has that clean Scandinavian aesthetic you’d expect, nothing flashy but definitely well-maintained. You know what struck me most? How quiet it actually feels inside despite being surrounded by the city’s energy.

Location That Actually Matters

Honestly, the location here is pretty spectacular — couples seem to think so too, rating it 9.6 out of 10. You’re literally steps from Karl Johans gate, which means you can stumble to most of Oslo’s main attractions without breaking a sweat. The Royal Palace is maybe a ten-minute walk, and the harbor area where all the good seafood restaurants cluster? Even closer. I found myself just wandering out for coffee or a quick bite without having to plan anything — that’s the kind of central location this is.

The Apartment Experience

What you’re getting here is an apartment setup rather than a traditional hotel room, which honestly makes a huge difference for the price point. Each unit comes with a proper kitchenette — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation, but actual cooking space where you can make real meals. The furnishings lean modern and minimal (very Norwegian), and everything feels fresh and clean. The beds are comfortable enough, though don’t expect five-star linens or anything like that. Storage is thoughtfully designed, and the overall layout maximizes the compact space efficiently.

Practical Perks

One thing I really appreciated — and this might sound small but it matters — is how straightforward everything is here. Check-in was smooth, the Wi-Fi actually works well throughout the building, and the whole place just feels efficiently run. There’s no restaurant on-site, but honestly, with Oslo’s food scene right outside your door, that’s hardly a problem. Plus, having that kitchen means you can grab groceries from the nearby Rema 1000 and save some serious money on meals because eating out in Oslo adds up fast. The staff is responsive and helpful whenever you need assistance.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it gets the fundamentals right without trying to be something it’s not. You’re paying for location and comfort, not fancy amenities or over-the-top service. The value proposition is solid — especially for Oslo, where hotel prices can make your eyes water. If you want to be in the center of everything, have your own space to spread out, and not blow your entire budget on accommodation, Maya Apartments delivers exactly that. It’s the kind of place where you’ll spend most of your time exploring the city anyway, but you’ll appreciate having a proper base to return to at the end of each day.
