Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Thon Hotel Cecil from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Thon Hotel Cecil enjoys a superb location in central Oslo, making it easy to reach the Parliament building and the harbor within a short walk, and some guests have enjoyed views overlooking the Christmas market. Guests consistently praise the excellent and varied breakfast, while the complimentary light dinner is also a unique and appreciated perk. The clean, spacious rooms, some of which are superior rooms with separate bedrooms, offer a comfortable stay; however, a few guests have mentioned occasional noise from nearby establishments. Airport access is convenient with a short walk from the Nationaltheatret station.

a decent stay

breakfast choiceslight dinnerconvenient locationhotel appearanceair conditioningstaff confusion
The breakfast had lots of choices. a light dinner was also included. It seemed simple, but healthy. the location allowed walking distance to major sites.
The hotel did not stand out very well. I almost walked past it initially. there was no ac, though it was advertised. the staff seemed confused about what they offered. It was frustrating getting different answers.
