We were so blessed to stay in this wonderful hotel. The personal are friendly and helpful. The interior has bright colors, which make your stay even more positive. My daughter and me got a room on the first floor, which is very convenient. We liked that you can open the window and get fresh air come into your room. The bed, pillows and blankets are incredibly soft, like a cloud. We had such a nice rest and sleep. The shower system is very convenient. There is a good pressure, stable temperature, which you can easily regulate. They really make sure you have fresh towels every day. The location of this hotel is a huge plus. It's close to the train station, trams and buses. Also you can easily walk to the main attractions. It is quiet and safe. We enjoyed a beautiful park right in front of the hotel. One of the best things that this hotel provides a fantastic breakfast. There are huge amount of different good quality food. It can fill you up for the whole day. In addition to everything above, the hotel has a nice gym, locker, iron and a mini fridge. Overall, you get so much for the money you pay, that you will feel very pleased. We felt safe, comfortable and happy in this place.

It didn't matter much to me, but the room was missing a deep cleaning (walls in the bathroom, curtains, doors). And we also found a black hair on our pillow upon arrival. I wish the mini fridge would have cooler temperature inside. And the blow dryer was constantly got overheated and turned off. But those small things didn't change our opinion about the hotel. Nothing is absolutely perfect. We are still grateful for an opportunity to stay in this beautiful city and a wonderful hotel.

This is a very comfortable hotel in an excellent location, about a 10-15 walk from the central train station, right next to the palace, and just a couple of blocks from the University of Oslo. The buffet breakfasts and coffee are absolutely wonderful (much, much better than breakfasts in American hotels at the same price point). There are Nespresso machines in the room. I stayed 4 nights and was given an upgraded room, which I appreciated. As everywhere in the service industry in Norway, the staff at the front desk speak excellent English, and many of the staff in the breakfast room did too. [Note: this review is for the Thon Hotel Slottsparken. Thon hotels are different, and the Thon airport hotel, for example, is not as nice as the Slottsparken.]

The elevators are tiny, but this is a tiny quibble. (This is an older building and I'm sure it's difficult to retrofit.)

We had a lovely double bedroom apartment, which was spacious. The only thing that I didn't like, and is found in most big hotels, is the fan blowing air into the room. It was quite noisy, so even though when the thick windows were shut, they protected from the noise outside, there was noise inside. My boyfriend didn't mind it. He said it was white noise he could sleep with. The staff was great. They coped well with the breakfast rush. I found it interesting and funny how the guests behave at breakfast. There was an air of competition and rush as if the food was about to run out any second when in reality there was always so plenty that there was no way anyone could go lacking.

As above

I stayed at Thon Hotel Slottsparken for two nights, and while it didn’t exactly blow me away, it’s a perfectly decent place to stay. The staff at check-in were friendly, though a bit on the quiet side—they could’ve given me a bit more of a tour of the place, but I had to ask about the facilities myself, like a bit of a treasure hunt. The hotel isn’t what you’d call “luxury,” but it’s functional. The carpets in the common areas were a bit “well-loved,” but it didn’t bother me much. The room felt a bit cold and bare at first, and getting to it was like a mini expedition through the building. But once I settled in, it was comfortable enough. The bed and pillows were absolute winners—solid 10/10 for sleep comfort. Breakfast was simple but tasty. The freshly baked bread and batter were the stars of the show—honestly, I haven’t had anything like it in ages. The coffee was good, and there were fresh juices available too. The chef was cracking jokes with customers, and the new waiter was friendly, though a bit green. A few more options on the hot counter would’ve been nice, though. One odd thing—housekeeping changed the bin but didn’t bother with the towels. No biggie, but I thought a quick towel swap wouldn’t hurt. Also, I couldn’t help but wonder why the pillowcases and duvet covers were all turned around face down—was it some kind of secret hotel ritual? Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the location is spot on—about 20 minutes from the central station and just a short walk to a station with a direct link to Oslo Airport. Overall, if you’re after a comfortable, no-frills stay, Thon Hotel Slottsparken fits the bill. Not luxury, but for the price, it’s definitely worth considering—and who knows, you might even get a joke or two from the chef!

Staff- very pleasant and unobtrusive. Breakfast- excellent with enough choice for all. Location - handy for bus and tram stops. Very close to the city's 'West End' area for shopping, cafes and restaurants. Price- very reasonable indeed. More bang for your Buck than in the Sentrum location.

Our room (8th Floor) was big & spacious. Could not make any use of the balcony as the door handle was broken and/or removed. Had it been the height of summer might have been a major issue. Rooms are however pretty varied in size for same/similar price.

Breakfast was excellent. A fantastic choice for all. Loved the separate gluten free section with cereal, bread, yoghurts and alternative milk. Delighted with the separate toaster and the fact that some days there were gf pancakes and always a sweet treat. Kitchen area in room was ideal with fridge to keep drinks cold. It also had a microwave and hob if needed. Bed comfy.

Would’ve been nice to have a bar area to meet our family at for a drink as most stayed here. Coffee sitting area was fine at other times.

Great location, very friendly and helpful staff, the room had everything we needed and more. Breakfast was superb, lots of choice and all excellent quality. There were lots of little extras included too - free juice and coffee in the foyer lounge, cakes and sweets out on reception. Exceptional value for money and only a short 10 minute walk from the National Theatre Train Station which meant getting the train to and from the airport was quick, easy and cheap.

Everything was great, nothing negative!

The hotel and staff seemed to go out of there way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We booked fairly early and asked for a "room with view of the Palace Grounds and on an upper floor if possible" which is exactly what we got. It was an excellent comfortable room, just exactly what we had asked for.

The location for us was perfect, being a pleasant walk through the Palace grounds two my relations appartment, in one direction, while an equally pleasant walk to the centre of the town and attractions the other way. The breakfast was excellent, with everything you could possibly want. It really was a most pleasant stay.

Brilliant location. All the amenities you would expect plus free tea, coffee, water and sparkling in reception. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Modern tea and coffee , making facilities and a small fridge. Complimentary toiletries shampoo,, body lotion and shower gel. The breakfast times were 7 30 11.As it was easter. Absolutely fabulous breakfast seleclotion. We were definitely stay here again.

*Location: near to every nice place in Oslo and need to take public transportation. *Very good amenities *The breakfast is royal 👑😋👍👍

*Cleanliness: no doubt that you will find dust under your beds. The first day: our room poorly cleaned (untidy beds and dust). Our room was not cleaned the 2nd day. *Poorly insulated room: you hear the sound of your neighbors' footsteps upstairs. *Pillows that are too soft: watch out for pain when you wake up and discomfort during sleep.
