Clean, comfortable, straightforward accommodation in a quiet area just outside Oslo at a decent price for the area (and with free parking)..The receptionist was exceptionally helpful in giving us useful advice. Lovely relaxed communal area with facilities to cook and drink coffee and play games.

Nothing to dislike.

At Emma Gjestehus, you feel right at home from the moment you step in. The facilities and rooms are spotlessly clean and the kitchen and bathrooms are modern and comfortable. Rooms have good beds and stylish interiors. The staff is extremely nice and welcoming. 10+

Very well equipped kitchen and common room, with terrace. The rooms are a bit small, especially the bathroom. It is however functional and the large common space made up for it. It takes about 45 min to reach the city center (from Kolkas with the T line - free 24h parking).

.

Everything is very well organised. From arrival to departure you can find your way in your own, si we did not see any staff no needed we any. There is a fridge on every floor and a kitchen on the first floor.

The rooms are rather cramed. There were no shampoos in the bathroom, so bring your own.

The place is clean and well stocked, the bathroom is on the outside of the room. In the room you have a wash basin, downstairs they have a communal kitchen, the longe stocked with wine glasses and kitchen stocked with plates and pots and pans to cook, it’s in a really quite area but, I went in winter time and it got dark, early and there only one way to walk up from the bus stop it’s up a hill and kinda scary at night alone, perfect for two man trip, but Norway Pretty safe anyway, I’m just a scardy cat. I would definitely go back though because it was so pretty

Just that it was a scary walk in the dark other than that, great place, a little further out from Oslo central had to get a train from the airport to the closet station Sandvika and then the 240 bus to Emma. The bus comes every 30 minutes but if you like riding a bike or scooter it’s fine.

Clean and quiet, very pleasant staff. It does take about 20 minutes to get to Oslo city center, but the cost savings makes it well worth it.

Not much to dislike. The bathrooms are shared, so not one in each room, but we never had any problems because there are a lot of bathrooms.

The place was clean and in a beautiful location. If you come by car, you have free parking.

We were 3 people, me, my wife and 6 year kid but we were given 2 separate beds which made the sleeping a little bit uncomfortable. :(

This nice guesthouse was my first and last accommodation on my Norway trip. The whole building as well as all rooms are recently renovated. This house is barrier-free, too. The lounge is decorated stylishly and cosily. The individual sleeping rooms are furnished functionally. Everything, especially the wash rooms was clean. The very kind and helpful staff made me feel almost like home during my stay. I enjoyed this quiet place surrounded by nature, although the capital isn't too far away. So I can recommend this nice place especially for travelers with a car but I also managed to get there by public transport - including a very short walk of about 500 m. One bus during midday is even stopping directly in fronz of it. Around Emma Gjestehus you can easily go hiking or strolling. Sandvika, the next town and train stop starting point to Oslo is also worth a visit with its nice restaurants and the big shopping mall. Another good reason to have a stay at Emma Gjestehus is the good price-performance relationship - compared to most other hotels and hostels in an around Oslo. I would be glad to spend some more days there during my next vacation in Southern Norway.

I was completely satisfied. Maybe travelers who arrive by public transport might see it as a (manageable) hurdle to get there the last meters. For someone who needs action and a central place for staying, this peaceful and relaxing place might not be the first choice.

You really can’t get much better. Laundry, safety, quiet, clean, water pressure, fully stocked kitchen, A+!!!

Only down side is location., but this isn’t anything they can control. The bus stop is about .25 miles away, and it’s all uphill. Do yourself a favor and just take a taxi from the train station.

It is very clean and the common areas are really comfortable. Every guest takes good care, that the shared kitchen stays clean and able to use at all times . We left some of our luggage in the car, because the 4 bedroom is not very large. But this was completely OK for us.
