Thon Hotel Europa

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.
