“Clean and Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW via mobile

Just completing a two night stay here. Very clean hotel with nice rooms. Very nice breakfast served in the atrium. Hotel's two greatest assets are its location in the center of Oslo (walking distance to lots of attractions, the harbor and public transportation if you want to go further out) and its pleasant staff.

“Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

The hotel is situated near Karl Johan. Walking distance to tourist attractions and shopping. The room we had was small but clean and well kept. There is a nespresse coffemaker in the reception with free coffee. There are plenty of bars and resturants near the hotell. The breakfast was good. We had a pleasant stay.

Hotel in central Oslo within walking distance to main tourist attractions. Rooms on the small side but clean and taken care of. Breakfast excellent. Free coffees available in the reception hall. The room temperature was a little on the high side but we had a window which opened over the street so had no problems cooling down the room. Nice... More

My experience with this hotel was largely positive from the start. The lobby was pleasant with comfortable seating and complimentary Nespresso and there were plenty of branded umbrellas for guest use. The receptionist was polite and patient (I got my credit card PIN wrong a few times, but no trace of annoyance from him!!). I was pleased with the clean... More

Close to most of what you are looking for in Oslo - including restaurants, sights, shopping, transportation and business area. Very helpful staff. Breakfast average. Ask for a room NOT facing Stortingsgata.

“Great location - great service”

Used Thon Cecil for one week on business, and the location is absolutely great - just at Stortinget, the ice skate rink - great. Rooms are quite small, but cozy and does the job. My room (511) had a "view" to the roofed atrium, where breakfast is served. Looking straight, it is directly to the elevator, so I had to... More
