The Apartments Company – The Sweet Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Apartments Company – The Sweet on Josefines Gate, you immediately get that “I made the right choice” feeling. This four-star property sits right in Frogner — honestly one of Oslo’s most coveted neighborhoods — and the building itself has this understated elegance that feels authentically Norwegian. No flashy signs or over-the-top entrance, just solid architecture that whispers quality rather than shouting about it. The fact that they have on-site parking is actually a huge deal here, since finding a spot in this part of Oslo can be… well, let’s just say it’s not fun.

Location & Neighborhood

You know what really struck me about this location? It’s in Frogner, which locals will tell you is where you want to be if you’re visiting Oslo. I mean, couples rate this spot 9.4 out of 10, and after spending time here, I totally get why. You’re walking distance from Vigeland Sculpture Park — which is incredible, by the way — and the Royal Palace is just a pleasant stroll away. The neighborhood has this perfect mix of residential charm and urban sophistication, with tree-lined streets that actually make you want to wander around. Plus, you’re close enough to the city center that nothing feels out of reach, but far enough away that you escape the tourist crowds when you come home.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — they’re proper apartments, which changes everything about how you experience Oslo. Each unit feels like someone’s carefully curated home rather than a sterile hotel space. The kitchens are actually functional (not just for show), so you can grab groceries from the local markets and cook if you want to. The living spaces have that Scandinavian design aesthetic down pat — clean lines, natural materials, and windows that let in all that beautiful Nordic light. It’s the kind of setup where you find yourself lingering over morning coffee instead of rushing out to start your day.

Practical Comforts

What I really appreciated was how thoughtfully everything was set up for actual living, not just sleeping. The apartments have proper storage space, decent-sized bathrooms, and — this might sound small but it matters — good lighting for getting ready. The on-site parking situation is genuinely convenient, especially if you’re planning day trips outside the city or just don’t want to deal with Oslo’s public parking meters. The building itself is quiet, which in a city center location is honestly pretty remarkable. You get the sense that they’ve put real thought into the details that make a difference during a longer stay.

Why Guests Love It

The location score of 9.3 isn’t just a number — it reflects how this place actually feels to stay in. You’re in one of Oslo’s most desirable areas, but you have the space and comfort of a real apartment rather than being cramped in a hotel room. It’s particularly perfect for couples who want to experience Oslo like locals rather than tourists, with the freedom to create their own rhythm. The combination of authentic neighborhood charm, practical amenities, and that distinctly Norwegian approach to hospitality creates something that feels both special and genuinely comfortable.

• 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.
