OSLO CITY CENTER 3 BEDROOMS APARTMENT, MANDALLS GATE 12

OSLO CITY CENTER 3 BEDROOMS APARTMENT, MANDALLS GATE 12 Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked up to OSLO CITY CENTER 3 BEDROOMS APARTMENT, MANDALLS GATE 12, I’ll be honest — the building doesn’t scream “tourist accommodation” from the outside, and that’s actually what I loved about it. This three-star apartment sits right in the heart of Oslo on a quiet residential street, giving you that authentic local living experience rather than the typical hotel bubble. The entrance is on the first floor, which in Norwegian terms means one flight up — just so you know what to expect with your luggage.

The Space Itself

Once you’re inside, the place really opens up into something special. Three proper bedrooms mean you’re not dealing with cramped quarters or makeshift sleeping arrangements — I mean, each room actually has enough space to unpack and settle in properly. The living area flows naturally into the kitchen, and honestly, having a full kitchen changes everything about how you experience Oslo. You can grab fresh ingredients from the nearby markets and actually cook instead of eating out for every single meal, which your wallet will definitely appreciate in this pricey city.

Location & Getting Around

Mandalls gate puts you in Gamle Oslo, which sounds fancy but really just means “Old Oslo” — and the location is pretty brilliant, actually. You’re close enough to walk to the main attractions without being stuck in the touristy chaos, and the neighborhood has this lived-in feel that I really appreciated. There’s parking available on site, which is honestly a game-changer if you’re planning to explore beyond the city center or if you’ve rented a car to see more of Norway. Trust me, finding parking in central Oslo can be a nightmare and expensive as hell.

Why Couples Love It

The feedback about couples rating this place highly makes total sense once you’ve stayed here. There’s something about having your own space — not just a hotel room, but an actual apartment — that makes a romantic trip feel more intimate and relaxed. You can have morning coffee in your pajamas, plan your day without rushing to check out, and honestly, just exist together without feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase. The three bedrooms also mean you’ve got options if you’re traveling with friends or family, but as a couple, you’ll have plenty of space to spread out.

The Real Deal

What really sold me on this place was how it strikes that perfect balance between independence and convenience. You get the freedom of your own space with all the practical benefits — full kitchen, multiple rooms, private entrance — while still being right in the city center where everything happens. The 8.3 rating reflects what I experienced: it’s not trying to be fancy or luxurious, but it delivers exactly what it promises. For Oslo, where accommodation can be both expensive and disappointing, this apartment actually gives you good value and a genuine taste of what living in the city feels like, rather than just visiting it.

Reviews of OSLO CITY CENTER 3 BEDROOMS APARTMENT, MANDALLS GATE 12

• Larry from United States (9/10)

  Ground floor apartment in a residential area, yet just a 10 minute walk from Oslo S central train station and 5 minute walk to metro station. Comfortable, fully furnished kitchen, nice TV

• Wang from China (9/10)

  It would be ideal to pick up the key at the coffee shop at the front gate, so I don't have to run back to the train station and get the key from the bakery shop

• Steven from United Kingdom (7/10)

  This property was booked at the last minute as our original accommodation cancelled on our day of arrival. Our host was in constant communication during the stay and arranged for us to pick up the keys at Oslo central station, which was quick and easy. The apartment is approx 5 to 10 minute walk from the station and the location is very central. I do not think that the pictures shown are the actual apartment, although they are very similar (probably the same apartment building). It is ground floor with 3 reasonable sized bedrooms. It is very basic in decor and could do with some updating, however it worked perfectly for us at such short notice.

• Ramona from Spain (9/10)

  Very nice and spacious apartment with an unbeatable location. The owner answered us very quickly and collecting the key was very easy. We collected the key at the central train station, which is a few minutes walk from the apartment.

• Ivan from United Kingdom (9/10)

  This was a last minute booking and I was pleasantly surprised by the quick response and the great location. The guy who manages the booking manages lots of nice apartments that he offered to us. The apartment manager sent us lots of videos explaining the very particular instructions for access. If you’re okay with running around bus terminals to get keys it’s a great deal on a spacious apartment.

• Anika from Germany (8/10)
