We loved our stay at Thon Hotel in Oslo. It’s just a 10-minute walk from the central train station, but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and calm. The location is ideal—just a few minutes from Aker Brygge, where you’ll find tons of restaurants, bars, and beautiful harbor views. It was the perfect base for exploring the city. From morning walks along the waterfront to enjoying Oslo’s modern art, food, and even a quick fjord dip—it was all super accessible. The room was stylish, quiet, and comfortable—everything we needed after a day out and about. There was some construction on our floor during the stay and one of the elevators was out, but it wasn’t a major inconvenience. Would absolutely stay here again!

Average hotel, but clean and staff was friendly. If the front desk area was decorated better it wouldn’t look so dumpy.

Nice hotel. Great staff.

Hotel was nice. Reception staff were A+ polite, helpful and interested in how you were. Travelled alone with room appearing to be a large single rather than a double. It could also get quite noisy as i was on the main street above a bar. Breakfast was good but the hotel does suffer from a lack of bar.

Marvelous Stay!!

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay at Thon Hotel Cecil. The young women at reception were fantastic and so kind and helpful. We had a couple minor issues with our room we didn't notice until the first morning, but when we told reception, they gave us a time they would look at the problems (also informed we could switch rooms if the issues weren't solvable). We walked around Oslo for a while, and when we returned, the minor issues were fixed. Couldn't be happier with the communication and assistance. The breakfast in the morning was phenomenal also. Absolutely 10/10 and if we get the chance to come back to Oslo again, would definitely stay here.

Well located hotel

The hotel is well located in Oslo within walking distance of many of the main attractions. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and check in was straightforward. We were not informed that there was a guest lounge at the hotel. The room we had (714) was small with little circulation space or storage and looked in to the central atrium space. The range of food available at breakfast was excellent.

Best stay in Oslo

Can’t be any happier with our stay at Thon Cecil. Location is fantastic, direct train from airport to National Theatre Station & just a 5-7 mins straight road to the hotel. Hotel is conveniently located next to a Christmas market & walkable to many popular spots. Breakfast spread is great too, and light dinner on weekdays are good way to end the day. While room is small, zero complains since its value for money.
