The Apartments Company – The Sweet Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Apartments Company – The Sweet on Josefines Gate, you immediately get why this spot has such a stellar reputation. The building sits perfectly in Oslo‘s Frogner neighborhood — honestly, one of the city’s most charming areas — and there’s something refreshingly understated about the whole setup. This four-star property doesn’t try too hard to impress, which actually makes it more impressive, if that makes sense. The attention to detail in every corner reflects a commitment to quality that guests consistently appreciate and recommend to others.

The Frogner Advantage

You know what’s great about staying here? You’re literally in the heart of one of Oslo’s most coveted areas, and couples seem to get this — they’ve rated the location a whopping 9.3 for romantic getaways. I mean, you can stroll to Vigeland Park in about ten minutes, and the Royal Palace is practically around the corner. The tree-lined streets here have this old-world Oslo charm that you just don’t find everywhere, plus there are these little cafés and boutiques tucked into every block that locals actually frequent. The neighborhood truly captures the essence of what makes this Scandinavian capital so special.

The Apartment Experience

What sets this place apart is that you’re getting a proper apartment rather than just a hotel room. Each unit comes with its own kitchen, which honestly saves you a fortune when you’re dealing with Oslo’s restaurant prices. The spaces feel lived-in rather than sterile — think Scandinavian minimalism but with actual personality. The furnishings are modern without being cold, and there’s enough space to actually unpack and settle in for a few days. This thoughtful design approach makes extended stays particularly comfortable and welcoming.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll make your life easier — they’ve got parking right on site, which is basically gold in central Oslo. Trust me, trying to find street parking in Frogner can be a nightmare, especially during peak season. The building itself is well-maintained, and while it’s not flashy, everything works exactly as it should. The Wi-Fi is solid, the heating keeps things cozy during those chilly Norwegian evenings, and the overall vibe is just comfortable and reliable. These practical amenities combine to create a genuinely stress-free stay.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.8 rating really tells the story here — this isn’t about bells and whistles, it’s about getting the fundamentals absolutely right. You’re staying in one of Oslo’s most desirable neighborhoods, you’ve got the independence of your own place, and you’re not overpaying for the privilege. The location score of 9.3 isn’t just a number — it reflects how perfectly positioned you are to explore Oslo on foot, whether you’re heading to the harbor, the museums, or just wandering through the city’s beautiful parks. It’s the kind of place where you feel like a temporary local rather than just another tourist passing through. Guests consistently praise the balance of comfort, convenience, and authentic neighborhood living.

  • Murat from Turkey (9/10)

    We stayed with my wife and daughter. It was a pretty big room. It was very clean. The room was quite warm and comfortable.

  • Christina from Canada (9/10)

    The apartments are in a great area, and the building is so beautiful and well kept

  • Grma01 from Poland (8/10)

    The apartment is in a good and elegant area, with interesting historical villas and embassies nearby. It is not exactly the heart of Oslo, but it is quite conveniently located and close enough to take a walk to the historical city centre or to the famous Vigeland Park. The building itself is also interesting, as it was a hospital built at the turn of the previous century, in a modern Art Nouveau style for the time, which gives it a special character today. It is very well maintained and the rooms, which are arranged around the historical hall, are also nice, with high ceilings and a historical, sentimental feel. Smaller than I expected, though. The room had all the kitchen facilities and nothing was really missing.

  • Monika from Poland (9/10)

    Location: peaceful but vibrant, architecture, cafes, restaurants, good shops, Royal Palace and parks, vibe.apartment was cute, very warm and charming. Make sure you follow the email with a guide how to check in and download the app Vander before you leave your home. Extremely important

  • Anton from Netherlands (9/10)

    The apartment was clean and modern, with a fully equipped kitchen. The key in the app worked perfectly fine, I had issues with that. Location is also great, 20 minutes by foot to city hall

  • Teodor from Romania (9/10)

    In a completely random order, I really liked the lighting, the size of the room, the location and the reactiveness of the customer support team.
