This hotel is fantastic! Very friendly staff, extremely comfortable beds, small but clean & stylish rooms, and the best part is the breakfast — an elaborate spread that keeps you full for hours! I absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Oslo. It is also super well located.

Nice, clean hotel. Best location. Everything is in walking distance: museums, ferry, shopping. Public transportation is very good in Oslo. Airport express takes only 30 minutes to the Theater stop, and 7 minutes walking to the hotel from there. Very good breakfast with great variety, friendly staff.

Thon hotels = standardized modest luxury

Okay. Ugly building with only a light well view out. Small but adequate room. Good location. Parking was complicated and expensive. Staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was the standard Thon fare—designed to wow. I did appreciate the two dishes with lots of kale.

Solo Senior Traveler.

This was an amazing week in a well-located hotel. The food was incredible. Service excellent. Room very big with warm bathroom tiles, fridge, great internet. Most of all the staff was superb. The hotel layout was a little complex in room assignment. I had a beautiful stay and would definitely recommend this Thon Hotel Cecil.
