Nordic Host Luxury Apts – Prinsens Gate – Large Mezzanine Studio Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Nordic Host Luxury Apts – Prinsens Gate – Large Mezzanine Studio, you immediately notice how they’ve maximized every inch of space without making it feel cramped. The mezzanine layout is actually pretty clever — it gives you that loft-like feeling even though you’re in the heart of Oslo. I mean, for a three-star property, the design choices feel surprisingly thoughtful, with clean Scandinavian lines and enough natural light to make the space feel bigger than it probably is on paper.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about Prinsens gate — you’re literally in the center of everything that matters in Oslo. I’m talking about a two-minute walk to Karl Johans gate, which honestly saves you so much time and money on transport. The Royal Palace is right there, and you can easily stroll to Aker Brygge when you want waterfront views. What I really appreciated is that couples seem to get this location — they’ve rated it 9.9, and honestly, I can see why. You know what’s great? You can grab groceries at Rema 1000 just around the corner, which is perfect since you’ve got kitchen facilities.

The Space Itself

The mezzanine setup means your sleeping area feels separate from the living space, which is surprisingly important when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. The room layout works well for couples — there’s enough space to spread out without tripping over each other’s stuff. The kitchenette is compact but functional, with everything you need for simple meals. I actually found myself using it more than I expected, especially for morning coffee before heading out to explore.

Practical Details

Storage is better than you’d expect in a studio setup — they’ve built in some smart solutions that let you actually unpack instead of living out of a suitcase. The bathroom is small but well-designed, with good water pressure (which, let’s be honest, matters more than fancy fixtures). WiFi works reliably, and the heating keeps things comfortable during Oslo’s cooler months. The building itself is well-maintained, and you get a proper entry system that makes you feel secure coming and going at different hours.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t trying to be something it’s not — it’s a well-located, smartly designed studio that gives you a proper base in Oslo without breaking the bank. The location score of 9.9 isn’t just marketing fluff; you really can walk everywhere that matters. For couples especially, there’s something nice about having your own space in the city center rather than dealing with hotel lobbies and room service schedules. The mezzanine layout gives you just enough separation to feel like you’re in an actual apartment, not just a hotel room with a mini-fridge.

Reviews of Nordic Host Luxury Apts – Prinsens Gate – Large Mezzanine Studio

  • Jesse from Singapore (8/10)

    A very nice and comfortable apartment. Have everything you require. Price was higher but due to the fact it's very near the central, 5-8mins walk to the train station, dinning and shopping areas. Owner provided quite a lot of coffee capsules, as a coffee lover that's a plus point for me. A nice restaurant that have very yummy pizza just 2 mins walk from apartment. Definitely recommended to stay here if to come by Oslo.

  • Anna from Australia (7/10)

    Great location! Clear instructions for self check in and extra info for tourists was handy. Nice washing machine/dryer.

  • Sarah from United Kingdom (7/10)

    Great location.

  • Carla from United States (8/10)

    location

  • Mark from Australia (1/10)

    The WORST COMMUNICATION I have ever experienced. Emails not answered, messages not answered, phone calls go to messages and not answered. Communication was so bad that we became so concerned that in the end we booked alternative accommodation – so we had to pay for accommodation twice!! Even on the day of entry I did not get my entry code until after 4 PM.

  • Roshni from Australia (8/10)

    A very central location to everything in the city. We were able to walk to the main attractions or catch the light rail and the train.

  • Simona from Romania (8/10)

    The appartament is very clean and cosy and close to the city center.

  • Robin from United States (8/10)

    very comfortable, clean and in an excellent location to explore Oslo!

  • Jutta from Germany (8/10)

    Die Lage war perfekt. Man kann die Stadt super per Fuß erkunden. Die Unterkunft war zweckmäßig ausgestattet. Der Check-in und Check-out war unkompliziert.

  • Alexandre from France (9/10)

    Excellent emplacement et hébergement de haut standing. Le lit en mezzanine est parfait et les équipements tout à fait corrects. Un plaisir d'être dans un tel logement.
