What a great location. Central to all major Oslo attractions. A short stroll to the harbour side and Aker Brygge, the Nobel Peace Centre, Karl Johans Gate, Parliament Building and National Theater. The station at National Theater is also brilliant for all connections. We stayed 5 nights and it was very comfortable. The room is on the small side, and... more

Very nice staff and ideal location, but marred by noise from a very loud disco behind the hotel. The few frills rooms while very small (typical of Oslo) are surprisingly well thought out and comfortable, featuring some nice amenities, like a built electric kettle to make tea or coffee (this is atypical for Scandinavia), a trouser press, mini-bar and a... more

We had booked this triple room from the states as it is in an excellent location and many on Trip Advisor had rated it highly. We arrived, received our keys and went to our room. It was ridiculously tiny. The bathroom was not clean and there was hair on the floor. There was no A/C (so it was hot) -... more

We arrived in Oslo by train and it was very easy to navigate to this hotel. We arrived at the Central station and you just follow Karl Johans Gate and you will see it on the street to your left after the Parliament Building and the Grand Hotel. Hotel staff was great and the room was clean. It is approximately... more

The reason we desided to stay at this hotel was because we got a good deal for 3 nights stay, and was still had rooms to offer. We payed about 750 NOK pr night for a doble room incl breakfast. We arrived by car, and had reserved a parkingplace in the hotel garage in advance. The cost is about 200... more

Hotel Cecil is a good 3 star. As other reviewers have said, its simply but the location could not be better for all attractions. Breakfast was ample, seating ample and hours of breakfast civilised...breakfast open till mid-day on Sundays! Oslo in general is VERY expensive so be aware so that you are not surprised. For example a pint of beer... more

The hotel is excellently located in the City Centre, close to the metro, main sights (Parliament, Nobel museum etc.) and the re-developed docks area which has lots of bars and restaurants. If you were comparing the hotel on a value basis with almost any other city in the world it would compare very poorly, but you soon realise that different... more

This was a good hotel. We arrived early in the morning, way before check-in time and they were able to accommodate us. It has a small lobby, but the rooms and bathrooms are amply sized. Breakfast in the morning is good and very convenient. This hotel is situated quite well. Close to the parliament (Stortinget) and walking distance to metro,... more

I always rely on TripAdvisor reviews of hotels and have never been let down until my stay at the Thon Hotel Cecil. I booked the hotel because it had such positive reviews on TA and because it was in a central location. One of the only good things about this hotel was the location. The staff was difficult and did... more
