Very good hotel, and not that expensive either. We booked a queen room which was sufficient since…read moreit was just myself and my husband staying in the room. The room was a bit larger than European standards, which is great since we had two large suitcases. The hotel is also in a very good location; all the major train, bus and tram stations are within walking distance. If you're staying in Oslo as a tourist I highly recommend the Oslo pass since it covers transportation within zones 1 & 2 as well as the entrance fees to most major museums.

The Scandic was right outside the train station which made it very convenient to both the Airport as well as Oslo city center. Our room was beautiful with great views of the water and mountains. We enjoyed walking along the trails that ran next to the water. They have an amazing typical Scandic breakfast which is not to be missed. It are also right across the street from a Rema 1000 grocery store which is perfect for snack and if you are looking to save some money on food and drinks as eating out can get kind of expensive in Norway. If visiting Norway again this will be an obvious first choice for us!

The Thief is the best hotel in Oslo, with the best people (Thank you Juliane!)…read more I visited Norway and Finland this winter for a Northern Lights tour. Before we headed far north, we stayed a few nights at The Thief in Oslo. Our experience here was so amazing it almost beat out the northern lights! the property is stylish and artsy, our room was GORGEOUS with stunning views, every detail was perfect. The staff was friendly and attentive, from the bartenders to the dining staff. But Juliane, the hospitality manager, really stands out! She was so kind, warm, and sweet. Not only did she give us a guide to the beautiful city, but she also managed to get us a last-minute reservation at an excellent restaurant nearby that originally had no availability. I've stayed in hotels around the world... Do not miss the Thief, it's one of the best stays ever. Thank you so much to Juliane and the rest of the amazing staff here! I can't wait to come back!

I want to start out by saying this place surprised me for an airport hotel. It was a pretty good…read morestay, and we love that it is a super easy covered walk to/from the airport. Interior and rooms were clean and i felt like they were taken from an IKEA showroom. Simple and to the point, good if you are arriving later at the airport or leaving early. We would definitely stay here again. The showers were good but only had one universal soap for hair and body, which i was a little bummed but hey I think simplicity is their thing here. The beds were super comfy and felt like a big soft couch. Breakfast: definitely grab the breakfast or add it on to your plan as it is the best bang for your buck. A full hot breakfast buffet with everything you can think of. A great bang for your buck. We would definitely come here again and recommend this hotel.

The breakfast was one of the better spreads we experienced in Norway during our 9 day trip. Lots of clean fluffy towels, great water pressure, nice hotel robes (I am a basic B!). Windows opened, thankfully, as they were having a heat wave and there is no A/C here so that was not ideal but at least they provided a fan which did help a bit.

We stayed for two nights in July at this bustling boutique hotel across from the central train…read morestation. The location couldn't have been better and we had only a short walk for our onward exploration in Norway. It was also close to the MUNCH museum as well as the opera house and very central for using the public transport to get around Oslo. The hotel itself is very up to date and our suite had all the expected amenities from power access to big modern bathroom. One complaint and I've seen this elsewhere in Europe, is your inability to control the temperature in your room. If you want it cooler you have to make a request to the front desk. Our room on the 6th floor was fairly large (by European standards) and was comfortable with a nice view to the train station. Our rate included the lavish breakfast buffet with loads of choices as well as a few made to order items like eggs Benedict and something I've never seen in Europe-bagels! A lovely stay except for the warm and stuffy room. Oddly they keep the hallways and other public spaces cooler. Be sure also to check out the fantastic hip cocktail bar-pier 42-in the lobby.

I just returned from three days at Thon Hotel Panorama. I had a room on one of the upper floors and…read morethe view was great. I think most if not all rooms are small studios with kitchenettes. Taking the prices into consideration it can save some $$$ if you cook in your room. The rooms also have a balcony for the smokers and to enjoy the sunset with a view. The staff was great and very attentive and I got caught up chatting with the guy at the reception for 30 minutes when I wanted to check out and leave. Great folks. If you are there in winter and like the outdoors and would like to do what the locals do take T1 to Frognerseteren where you can rent a slay and do some sledding. During the weekends half Oslo is up there. During the week it's quieter. You can also do cross country skiing there or just go for a wander. It's great and you have a nice view over the Oslofjord!

Heated floors in the bathroom. Only drag was no bathtub but oh well. Everything is in excellent condition and well designed. The breakfast was seriously amazing. My coworker and I each had 3 rounds. Not crap quality buffet at all, and a very nice breakfast room to boot. The wifi worked perfectly the whole time I was there. It's close to downtown but a bit out of the main madness and close to the water. It won the best of TripAdvisor in 2012 and I can see why. Am I allowed to say that here? =oP I would definitely recommend staying here!
