Gamle, Oslo's original neighbourhood

Gamle is Oslo’s oldest quarter, where medieval ruins sit casually beside warehouses-turned-art studios. Wander a few blocks and you’ll catch the scent of fresh bread drifting from family-run bakeries, or stumble into a tucked-away record shop with a loyal following. The area has a way of slowing you down. Streets are smaller here, conversations stretch longer, and there’s always a bench inviting you to pause. Modern Oslo is close enough to dip into whenever you fancy. It’s the layered part of the city, a place where the past and present don’t compete, but sit comfortably side by side.

A close look inside

Our spaces are bold, warm, and full of personality — just like the neighbourhood.

What makes us different

We create spaces you’ll actually want to be in. From local touches to thoughtful details, it’s all designed around you.
A calm softnessAccessing the PropertyLocal Partners

    A calm softness

    Inside, the apartments feel like a deep breath. Pale woods, soft fabrics and generous light create a calm feeling, the kind that makes mornings stretch a little slower – in the best kind of way. It’s modern without showing off, a space that gives you room to reset after exploring Oslo’s contrasts outside.

    The design leans into Scandinavian restraint but avoids the sharp chill that often comes with it. Beige and cream tones keep things warm, while the flow between spaces feels intuitive, easy, and quietly refined.

    Route & Time: The journey from Oslo Airport to Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) takes only about 19 minutes.

    By Shuttle Bus 🚌

    Bob's Oslo Parking Tips 💡
    Check Online First: Prices and availability in Oslo parking garages can vary. Many Norwegian parking facilities use apps like EasyPark.

    Oslo = Pricey Parking: Just a friendly heads-up, parking in central Oslo can be a bit on the expensive side. Planning ahead can save you some kroner!

    Go Green with Public Transport! Oslo has an amazing public transport system (T-bane, trams, buses, ferries). Once your car is settled, it's super easy (and often quicker!) to explore the city like a local.

    Look for "P-hus" signs: These will guide you to public parking garages.

    How to check-in?

    Step 1: Complete Your Online Check-In
    Head to our secure check-in portal here: https://reception.bobw.co/check-in

    You can do this any time before arriving, no need to wait for check-in day. This helps us get everything ready for your stay.



    Find your booking number
    You’ll need this to check in online. It’s usually in your confirmation email from wherever you booked (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.). Look for terms like:

    “Booking/confirmation number”

    “Booking ID”

    “Reservation number”

    Can’t find it? Check your spam folder—emails love to hide there sometimes 😉



    Get your door code
    Once your check-in is complete, your unique door code will pop up on the evening before check-in day in the Guest Area under "Open Doors". That’s how you’ll access your apartment—no keys needed!



    Do I need to add my credit card to the check-in form?
    Only if you want to book extras, like breakfast, or if you'll be staying in one of the city tax locations seen here.

    If your stay was fully paid via your company or booking site, you can skip this step—just leave the credit card fields empty and close the tab. Easy!



    Didn’t get a confirmation email?
    Double-check that your email and phone number are correct.

    We always send your check-in info by email—and often via SMS or WhatsApp too. Still nothing? Just reach out and we’ll sort it 👍

    Whilst Staying

    Please read Bob's house rules carefully. If you break them, you will be charged a fine and/or your booking will be terminated – and no one wants that!
    Respect your neighbours. You're sharing the building with other guests and residents. Be aware of your noise levels and keep things tidy. Quiet hours are 10 pm - 8 am daily.

    No parties or any events that might disturb other guests. We know, parties are fun, but people need their rest too.

    No pets, unless otherwise confirmed in advance by Bob W in writing. Just reach out with questions!

    Shoes off inside. Not only does this reduce noise for your neighbours, but it also keeps the apartment clean and in good shape.

    No smoking, even on balconies. Please use marked outdoor smoking areas.

    No drugs or use of any illegal substances. If we find a reason to believe this is happening during or after your stay, you will be reported to the local authorities and that’d be a major bummer.

    No rubbish in the hallways. Please check your apartment for instructions on how to deal with rubbish and recycling.

    Respect our cleaners. Although each apartment is thoroughly cleaned after check-out, please pick up after yourself and use common sense when leaving. If you leave a big mess that takes extra time to clean up, you’ll be charged.

    Keep to your check-in and check-out times. Your last-minute schedule changes impact our cleaners and other guests.

    Report any possible damage you see in the apartment during your stay so Bob can fix it.

    You are always fully responsible to pay for damages caused by you, your guests or pets. Any violations of the law or fraudulent activities will result in immediate termination of your booking and will be reported to the local police for further investigation. It’s Bob’s responsibility to make sure all guests are safe and have a good time! Thanks for your understanding and for helping us out with this.
