It was time to celebrate another one of life’s many landmarks and had decided to make a trip across Europe, culminating in a 4 night stay at the fantastic Thief Hotel in Oslo. On arrival I was greeted warmly by the front desk team and having prepaid through Booking.com, check-in was a smooth, fast a professional experience. I was informed that breakfast which was included would be served in the delightful 2nd floor restaurant, more on that later and also advised that access to the 24hr gym was via the glass elevator on my floor which also takes guests to the spa and wellness centre which are located in an adjacent building. The rooms are very well appointed with a beautiful King size bed and a large smart TV with both YouTube and Netflix access, the view from my 7th floor room was spectacular and look out across the fjord and palace. The bathroom was very nicely designed with a walk-n shower and smart mood lighting throughout. The Thief Hotel is located in a area similar to London’s Canary Wharf with a 15 minute walk (in winter) to the National Theatre Station which connects you to the Central Train Station, Oslo Airport and the rest of the city and region. The National Museum is adjacent to the station and is definitely worth a visit on those -20 degree days. The highlight of my stay at The Thief was definitely the breakfast and cocktails (not at the same time), the breakfast is a buffet style but on a whole different level, than your average self service experience. The food is presented beautifully and there is such a wide range of hot and cold fair that even with a 4 night stay I did not get to try everything that was on offer. In summary The Thief Hotel offers a truly amazing experience and I would highly recommend for solo or couples travelling to the Norwegian capital, the rooms are very nicely sized and the huge bed is super comfy with a good mix of soft and firm pillows ensuring a luxurious nights sleep and a very memorable stay.

Leaving before breakfast was served, but very grateful for my Thief ‘Booty Bag’ filled with lunch goodies.

Our stay at The Thief was wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to make our 10th anniversary celebration special. The room, though a bit small, was luxurious and beautifully designed, with a stunning view. The amenities were top-notch, and we particularly enjoyed the spa and the exquisite breakfast at the restaurant. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and the atmosphere was both relaxing and sophisticated. The hotel's location is perfect, offering easy access to Aker Brygge and other attractions. Thank you to everyone at The Thief for making our stay so memorable. We can't wait to return!

The location of the hotel was excellent as it was surrounded by cafes, bars and restaurants and only a short walk into Oslo centre. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good with wide range of options.

The room on the whole was lovely but there were two irritations. When we arrived, there were 10 pillows and cushions on the bed with very little room to put them anywhere and the safe was at floor level which meant that you had to lie flat on the floor to check that you had not left anything behind.

The reception staff were super friendly they made my stay wonderful. they were super helpful and professional. the location was exceptional and everything was close by a walking distance. there were multiple options of cafes and restaurants available around the hotel to choose from.

The room lightning should be brighter, its very dark. also I believe that the room service hours should be extended as they close by 10 pm which is pretty early. hence I would suggest making the room service 24 hours available.

Almost everything.

We do love this hotel and have stayed here before. Not enough complimentary water bottles provided for 2 people. So we were given one 500 ml bottle to supposedly last us a day. Had to keep asking for more. In-house dining options are severely limited and kitchen closes around 9:30 pm. Things shouldn't be like this in a supposedly Five star hotel.

We've been coming to the Thief for over a decade and it never disappoints. In recent years being welcomed with a dog in tow we've come to appreciate even more that the hotel really is a home away from home. Having stayed in hundreds of five star hotels all over the world we've seen all levels of service, but there's a consistency and a calmness and something so relaxed about the Thief which is really unique and feels so welcoming. Never any issues with noise, always clean, staff are always super friendly yet professional. We'll keep coming back here as long as the hotel is in business, which I hope is forever!

Nothing, it's awesome

A beautiful property at the end of the marina so in a lovely, quiet location with views of the bay. Very comfortable beds and a great shower.

The main restaurant was supposed to be open for dinner but was closed. The rooftop restaurant was a bit soulless with a very limited menu. The rooftop bar was lovely though.

Amazing stay at this hotel overall, friendly staff and great organic breakfast. The location is perfect to visit the city, quiet and close to the sea. The bed was comfortable and the heated floor in the bathroom and bathtub was definitely a plus!

We wish the access to the spa (pool, sauna) was included given the price of the room. The rooftop bar area/experience could have been more elevated and there was no turndown service.

Picture appears to have many rooms that face the marina…if I leaned out on our balance you could see the water and we paid for a corner junior suite. Breakfast was wonderful and the location was perfect….you could walk around everywhere without car traffic.

Wish room views were better.

Breakfast is excellent, reception staff wonderful, location perfect. Modern and clean and professional.

The rooms are a bit small and the hotel has tried to fit in a little coffee table and two sitting chairs, but it just feels uncomfortable. Simplify it for better effect. And then get rid of those huge pillows, which take up all the space and have no purpose.
