Anker Hostel

Clean and good hostel with lift to our apartment. 2 tram stops from central train station. Some shops within walking distance. Need to lay your own sheets and return at counter after check out

It is a good, cheap budget hostel. Heating was non-existent. Not freezing but was definitely a bit chilly. You have to grab your own bedsheets and towels when checking in, and drop them off at reception when checking out. Bit of a hassle when you are in a hurry and have to juggle with heavy luggage crossing multiple doors and lifts and key card. Pillows were almost flat - not good for your neck. Had to use extra bedsheets to make them usable. In the shower, hot water came 4-5 minutes after turning on the tap - lots of water waste. Hot water didn't came at all in the basin, so I had to shave with cold water. I understand you get what you pay for it was still not cheap.

The building is old but well maintained. The studio has a kitchen and you can borrow a set of cooking instruments with 200 nok, if I remember correctly.
