Very central and spacious
Good communication throughout our stay. Apartment was very spacious. We enjoyed the benefit of an oven and washing machine. Public transport was readily available. Bus 37 stops across the street and the metro is close to Oslo central.

Had a super enjoyable stay at Bob W Gamle Oslo!
From its attractive Scandinavian style to its relatively prime location, high level of cleanliness, extreme cosiness, excellent condition of the apartment and great customer service, there is basically nothing I can pick on. I have nothing but full of praises for this accomm. Extremely pleased and satisfied and def value for money. Would highly recommend!

Liked that it was in a neighborhood so it wasn't super touristy, but just 300 meters from the subway and a short walk from the center of Oslo

Bob W is not for me
I did not love my stay with Bob W in Oslo and I doubt, based on my experience, that I will ever stay at a Bob W anywhere. There is a sign in the apartment that reads that this is a boutique hotel. That is far from the truth.
My first issue was at the onset of my stay. I could not get into the property via my phone. I had to call to be let in. Luckily it was resolved. My second issue came when we opened the building door and our senses were overwhelmed by the restaurant odor (which carried into the bath towels, unfortunately). Third issue was the lighting in the apartment - it is really bad. You cannot see anything at night. The bedroom lighting was so bad that we had to move all our things into the hall in order to pack. This small hall had the best lighting (though the light switches did not work well so you never knew if you were going to get this light). The floor lamp and kitchen ceiling light were worthless. My next issue was safety. One afternoon there was a drunk walking by who was spitting on people thus I did not find comfort in the gate being held ajar with a rock for hours. The nonstick pans are scratched. The positives about this place is proximity to the train and the east side of town. Oslo’s public transportation is great. Bed and bedding were clean crisp and comfortable. Having a wash machine was a plus. Shower had nice pressure and the soap/shampoo/conditioner were good. This place is probably a great for the right person.

Very compact apartment
Quite newly fitted out, and well equipped. Plenty of wardrobe space. Howeve no light over kitchen area so bit dark when using the oven and washing up. Some smells from the Turkish restaurant below. Need wifi to enter through 3 separate doors, but not to get out. Would not describe it as "roomy" as stated.

Lovely modern, spacious and well equipped apartment with everything you might need and some nice extras. Host was very communicative. Location felt slightly edgy to arrive at later at night with luggage (after midnight) but is otherwise a pleasant, bustling neighbourhood with plenty of amenities, and is walkable to the city centre and very close to the Bar Code district and waterfront.

Only one little remark: outside day and night very noisy. But that is what happens in the centre of a big city. So: everything was absolutely perfect! Thanks!

Close to train station and downtown. Lots of room, comfortable beds. Electronic check in and “keys” worked great, as did wifi. Quite responsive when we had questions. Overall very happy with our stay and would book again!

Lovely place to stay. A lot of space for a family. Tidy with very comfortable beds to rest afte the day of walking. Fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare food (nice grocery store just behind the crossroad). Good location, just a few minutes walk from city center (train statio and bus station). No reception, for me is a plus, you can just walk in using your sellphone.

Lots of nice extras but entry too high tech for us
The apartment itself is great with lots of little touches to make for a comfortable stay. We did not end up using the kitchen or washing machine but they did sway us when booking as good to have the facilities if needed.
My main issue is the reliance on a mobile phone or other device that can communicate with gates and door to enter or exit. F you ran out of battery or had your device stolen there is no way in. I prefer a PIN code as less stress. I also did not have a phone only iPad without WhatsApp and this meant I relied on email and hotels.com message to gain details of apartment number. Felt quicker reply needed as was over 24 hours to receive one. Fortunately there is a number to call and I borrowed another persons phone to get details.
I should have set up contact and provided personal details earlier and this would have been less stressful but the reliance on a device to enter and leave would remain.
If that is not a deal breaker than recommend a stay.

Fantastic place all the tech worked no issues and they were always there on WhatsApp for anything. It’s at the end of a bustling area if your a family maybe take the longer walk round to get to the train station and harbour. Its a very busy area, day and night.

Great for a family or just want more space.
Great property! Clean, new, and fresh.
Easy access to the whole city very 7 min from the Tøyengata #37 bus stop out front or the subway station less than 5 minute walk away. Use the Oslo Ruter app to check the bus, Train, subway and other transportation methods. This location was great for our family of 4 for the week. Staff was very helpful and communicative. Highly recommend.
