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.

Excellent hotel and staff
Very happy with our choice of hotel in terms of location, comfort, facilities and most important,quiet for sleeping. Reception staff were exceptional in helping with a couple of issues (i left something behind in their airport hotel and also ensuring we had a quiet room) Excellent breakfast too, highly recommend.

Excellent location in the city center. Everything is walkable. Trams are about a block away for the farther-flung attractions. If you’re traveling with a friend, you will probably be glad if you upgrade to a larger room to have a bit more bedroom and bathroom space.

Sink drain
Nice clean hotel room. Only negative - the plug in the sink would not retain water in the sink.

Small rooms and oddly shaped little room for suitcases. The shower door had a one inch gap that created a flood on the floor every time it was used. The breakfast is good but the evening light meal is more of a snack and not much to choose from.
The hotel is in an excellent location and walkable to everything from shopping to the royal palace to the opera house and museums.

Everything about this property makes it a solo traveller’s paradise; the breakfast and evening snacking options are just perfect . I wud however make a suggestion for considering including some hot breakfast items like pancake or their famous waffles with brown cheese or porridge etc and be inclusive of lactose intolerant people . The one single thing which was v uncomfortable for me was the climate control system which maintained >= 22.9 C temp inside the room at all times making it sweaty and difficult to breathe at times specially to menopausal women of this world with no openable window to manage regulating colder in-room temp .other than this excellent choice of stay !

A reasonably good hotel in a great location.
The hotel is in a great location and is smartly done out. Breakfast is very good. The evening meal was free Monday to Thursday but is a light buffet. Our only real complaint is that the room was too hot with no way of cooling it down. Would go back again though.

This was an excellent stay! The staff were so friendly and helpful, it’s really centrally located and I was able to fit a lot into a relatively short visit. The breakfast was also extraordinary :) I’ll definitely be back.
Huge thanks to the staff in particular - you made my stay fantastic!

to access our room we had to access two elevators, one of which took about 10 minutes to access! (one was out of order one time)ended up taking the stairs and was late for an appt. We left the morning for the airport at 6am and still waited an extraordinary time. Also the water temp in the shower was cold for all showers except the first time. Unacceptable! also air in room was not cooling, had to open the window to hear yelling etc from the street. very disappointed in our stay
