Torggata Apartments

Torggata Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Torggata Apartments on Hausmanns gate, you immediately get that “local neighborhood” vibe that’s honestly refreshing after staying in cookie-cutter hotels. This three-star property sits right in the heart of St. Hanshaugen, and I mean right in the thick of things — you’re basically living like an Oslo resident for a few days. The building itself has that understated Scandinavian charm, nothing flashy, but you can tell it’s well-maintained and thoughtfully designed.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about this spot in Oslo — St. Hanshaugen is where actual locals hang out, not just tourists snapping photos. You’ve got Torggata street running right nearby (hence the name), which is packed with vintage shops, cozy cafés, and that authentic Oslo energy you won’t find around the main tourist drags. The location rating speaks for itself really — couples consistently rate it 9.4, and honestly, I get why. You can walk to the city center in about 15 minutes, but you’re staying somewhere that feels genuinely Norwegian, not like a tourist bubble.

Living Like a Local

The apartment setup is what makes this place special — you’re not just getting a hotel room, you’re getting actual living space. Each unit comes with a proper kitchen, which is a game-changer when you want to grab groceries from the nearby Rema 1000 and cook breakfast instead of paying hotel prices. I actually found myself enjoying quiet mornings with coffee I made myself, looking out at the neighborhood coming to life. The apartments vary in size, but even the smaller ones feel spacious compared to typical European hotel rooms.

Practical Perks

What you’ll appreciate are the little things that matter when you’re actually staying somewhere. There’s decent parking available, which — trust me — is not something to take for granted in central Oslo. The building has good wifi throughout, and the apartments come equipped with everything you’d expect: washing machines, proper storage space, comfortable seating areas. It’s not fancy, but everything works well and feels clean and modern. The staff is helpful without being overly formal, which fits the whole neighborhood vibe perfectly.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to wow you with a fancy lobby or a spa, but that’s not really the point. What Torggata Apartments does well is give you a genuine Oslo experience in a neighborhood that feels authentic. You’re close enough to walk to major attractions, but far enough from the cruise ship crowds to actually relax. The recent guest rating of 9.0 for location isn’t just about proximity — it’s about being somewhere that feels right. Whether you’re here for a long weekend or a week, you’ll find yourself settling into the rhythm of the area pretty quickly, and that’s honestly worth more than any hotel amenity.

Locals advise to book apartments in Oslo around Grünerløkka for indie cafés, street art walks, and riverside picnic spots.
