We have 149 units of varying sizes. Most of these are smaller at around 12 m². Together with these, there are some double rooms and apartments up to 65m2. Rentals of these will be made at the discretion of the administrator. Here, both duration of residence and social circumstances can be significant.
The dormitories are rented out essentially unfurnished. A few have daybeds, desks and chairs but these are showing their age somewhat – almost antique, in fact. In order to conform with hygiene requirements, the house will no longer supply mattresses, so these must be provided by the individual. Daybed dimensions: 75 x 195 (200) cm. The furniture we have may be collected and taken up to the room from the store by agreement with the administration. This assumes, of course, that there is furniture available.
Schedule moving in with buying a bed for your first night at the Dorm, or bring a sleeping bag and a pad to lie on.
The rooms have sinks and wardrobes.
Use of our standard internet system is included in the rent– this means that you can surf 24 hours a day. You’ll need a cable for direct connection to a PC or Mac, or to plug your own router into the outlet in the room. Data transfer rate is 250/250 Mbps, but this can be increased to 500/500 Mbps for a monthly fee of NOK 149 by contacting our fibre network supplier LYNET Internet AS on +47 2199 3366
Electricity is included in the rental (some larger units have their own subscription). Currently, use of the laundry is free, but this may changed.
There are also some extra storage facilities, in addition to the room, but these are minimal and in a locked storeroom. Use of this facility is at your own risk and by further agreement with the house.
There are shower rooms and toilets on each corridor.
We have 4 large kitchens and one smaller one to serve most of the residents, i.e. up to 45 users. That’s why it’s also very important to maintain good hygiene. These areas are thoroughly cleaned 7 times a week by a cleaning firm + one light clean each afternoon. Nonetheless, we also expect our residents to clean up properly after themselves.
The toilets and showers are thoroughly washed down daily on weekdays, with checking at the weekend and cleaning if needed.
If residents fail to maintain good hygiene standards and clean up after themselves in the kitchens, showers, toilets and common areas, the Dorm will impose an extra service fee of at least NOK 100 per month to cover costs of increased cleaning for all those residents using relevant areas until extra cleaning is no longer required.
THERE IS NO TV SIGNAL IN THE ROOMS. If this is something you require, you will need to organise a decoder box yourself. TVs with many, many, many channels are installed in the common rooms.
There are WiFi zones in the common and study rooms.
