The Apartments Company – Majorstuen

The Apartments Company – Majorstuen Overview

First Impressions

The Apartments Company – Majorstuen sits on a quiet residential street in St. Hanshaugen, and honestly, you might walk right past it if you’re not paying attention. It’s not trying to impress anyone with flashy signage or marble lobbies — this three-star property is all about giving you a proper apartment experience in one of Oslo’s most livable neighborhoods. The building has that understated Scandinavian charm that locals actually prefer over tourist-heavy areas.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about this spot in Oslo — you’re genuinely living like a local. Majorstuen is where young professionals and families actually want to be, not just where tourists end up. You’ve got Frogner Park (yes, the one with all those Vigeland sculptures) just a short walk away, and the Majorstuen T-bane station connects you to everything without the chaos of staying right in the city center. The street itself is lined with those classic Oslo apartment buildings, and there’s something really satisfying about having your own key to what feels like a proper neighborhood place.

Your Space

The room setup here is what makes this place work so well for couples — and apparently they agree, since they rate the location 8.7 out of 10. You’re getting actual apartment-style accommodations with a proper kitchen, which means you can hit up the local Rema 1000 or splurge at the fancy food halls downtown and actually cook something decent. I mean, Oslo prices being what they are, having your own space to prepare meals isn’t just nice — it’s practically essential. The furnishings are clean and functional, very much in that Nordic minimalist style that somehow manages to feel cozy rather than cold.

Practical Perks

One thing that’ll save you some headache — they’ve got parking available on site, which is honestly a minor miracle in this part of town. If you’re driving in Norway (and dealing with those toll roads), having a guaranteed spot is worth its weight in kroner. The whole setup feels refreshingly straightforward — no pretentious concierge service or overpriced restaurant trying to separate you from your money, just solid accommodations that let you experience Oslo at your own pace.

Why Guests Love It

What really comes through in the 8.4 rating is that this place delivers exactly what it promises without any fuss. You’re not paying for amenities you won’t use — instead, you get a genuine slice of Oslo life in a neighborhood where people actually want to live. The location gives you easy access to both the city center and places like the Holmenkollen ski jump, but you can also just wander around St. Hanshaugen and stumble onto great little cafes and shops that most visitors never find. It’s the kind of place where you’ll actually feel settled rather than just passing through.
