Recent Anker Hostel Review: "Anker Hostel was a very pleasant surprise. Offering accommodation at such a low price so near the city center led me to believe it would be quite low quality. It wasn't. Don't get me wrong. This is not a hotel. The interior and standard is simple. The rooms are sparse, but clean. The staff was nice and helpful. I will definately book at Anker Hostel  the next time I'm going to Oslo. The guests are mainly young people. Please note that sheets and towels are not included in room prices. NB! This hostel is situated very close to Oslo Spektrum, so if you're going to a concert there Anker Hostel might be the best choice."
