Back in Oslo
We have stayed at this hotel several times over the years. It is located centrally and it is a classic high quality Oslo hotel. The weather was very cold (snow) during our stay and the centrally heated rooms were chilly with no possibility of adjusting the temperature of the cool air inflow. Servicing and cleaning of the room happened quite late in the day

Wonderful stay. The hotel is perfectly situated within walking distance to the main sights of Oslo. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Rooms very clean and well appointed. The breakfast buffet was sensational. Only very slight points for improvement would be that the shower was subject to random fluctuations in temperature and better hot plates for the buffet would be good.

Great finding
I had a great stay with my elderly parents at Thon Cecilie and I can’t recommend it more. The rooms were comfortable and of a good size. Breakfast was great and a nice treat in the morning. Location is fabulous. There is a complimentary light evening meal which we unfortunately only came to learn on our last night.

Overall great value
Excellent service and location, 5 mins walk from Theatre Station. Free Breakfast choice was better than most. We had to move from room 7005 on second day due to late night roof bar opposite room playing drum n bass till 3am. Switch was handled excellently and new room was a bit smaller but quiet. No issues in recommending.

Great location, 3 blocks from Nationaltheatret train station, close to both Karl Johan and the waterfront ferry terminals. Room was small but clean. As often the case in these hotels the walk-in shower allows water to escape to the bathroom floor, but an easy mop-up afterward. Mattress was a bit too soft for my comfort as I prefer firm; my spouse thought ok. Splendid breakfast buffet as typical for Thon, but no onsite restaurant or bar if that's important to you. Other guests have complained about funky floor plan, but it's not complicated; there are simply two wings that connect only on the second floor. American guests should be aware that rooms are not air conditioned (AC is not common in any hotel in Norway); our room was stuffy when we arrived in July, but once the air had been circulating for awhile it cooled to a comfortable temperature. Our room window opened to the interior atrium, so outside air was not available, but upside was that there was virtually no exterior street noise. We have also stayed at the Thon Hotel Opera in Oslo, which is a little more upscale and has bar/restaurant, but is also a bit more pricey; it's adjacent to the Central Station. We'd stay at either again, but I favor this one's location for easy walking access to many tourist destinations including Bygdøy via the ferry, if you don't mind dragging your bags a couple of blocks. Tip: skip the airport Flytoget and use the regional trains; half the price and the same travel time.
