Frommer's Review

Of the three Thon hotels in Oslo, we think the Cecil is a better choice, but this well-run hotel has a lot going for it as well. Few other hotels enjoy a position as quiet yet as convenient to Karl Johans Gate as this redbrick member of the chain. The building faces a large patch of greenery and the front entrances of two of Oslo's museums, the Tekniska Musuet (Technical Museum) and the Nasjionell Galleriet (National Gallery). The hotel was originally built as a complex of private apartments before being transformed in the 1970s into this efficient and well-managed hotel. Bedrooms are small but comfortable, with burl-grained walnut veneers and writing desks, each with a small shower-only bathroom In keeping with its name, a large and decorative map of Europe is displayed behind the front desk, which is staffed with friendly, English-speaking personnel who are ready to assist you.

Facilities:
Coffee shop; bar

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
