Oslo Hotels with balcony

Definitely staying at The Thief upon our return to Oslo. Incredible customer service, comfortable beds, best water pressure I have have ever experienced with sizzling hot water! Incredible location! Walk everywhere! Dining and shops immediately outside the front door. Downstairs bar was super chill hang out with phenomenal cocktails. Sassy blossom was my favorite.

The hotel is centrally located in Oslo, with many major attractions just a short walk away, which made exploring the city very convenient. The room was okay and comfortable enough for our stay. However, during winter it could feel quite cold since the heating system is centralized and not individually adjustable. That said, we truly loved the breakfast!! There was a great variety of food, and the free-flow coffee was definitely a highlight for us. It was so nice to be able to enjoy as many cups as we wanted, especially on cold winter.

Location: Situated in northeast Oslo, next to office buildings and residential areas. It's about a 30-minute public transport ride to the city center (like Oslo Central Station). You can turn left out of the hotel and walk 10 minutes to Okern station for metro lines 4/5. To walk less, go straight for 3 minutes to Lorenvangen station and take bus 23 one stop to Okern T, then go down the stairs to catch metro lines 4/5. If you have luggage, I recommend taking bus 23 to Lorenvangen, as it's the closest stop to the hotel, just a 3-4 minute walk on a gentle incline. In Oslo, within the same zone, you can transfer between buses, metro, trams, and ferries without extra charge. I found it quite exhausting pushing two large suitcases from Okern metro station. Service: Throughout my 7-day stay, the front desk staff were always smiling and friendly. The cleaners would proactively ask if I wanted my room serviced. You can store your luggage for a short period after check-out, but not for several days. Breakfast: For Oslo, I'd say it's definitely worth the price. It's mostly Western-style breakfast. Vegetarian options include raw lettuce, carrot sticks, onion, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, etc., and cooked options like stir-fried cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms. Meat options include smoked salmon (available 6 out of 7 days), roasted bacon, meatballs, and small sausages. There were three or four types of European bread you could slice yourself. Fruit included bananas, apples, and pears. There were three kinds of yogurt, and nuts like almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, etc. Beverages included six or seven options, and coffee had five or six varieties; to get hot water, select the last option on the coffee machine. It starts at 6:30 AM on weekdays and 7:00-10:00 AM on weekends. Tips: 1. For your first visit, there are usually three routes from Okern metro station to the hotel (Image 16). The hotel is in the red circle. The green line is the shortest straight path but has a very high set of stairs before reaching the hotel (Image 6). The red line is flat road + gentle incline, recommended if you have a lot of luggage. The blue line is flat road + steep incline, the furthest and not recommended. 2. In the hotel, you select your floor directly on the elevator's touchscreen (Image 10), and it will tell you which elevator (A, B, or C) to take (Image 11). Once inside, the door closes, and it automatically goes to your floor without needing to swipe a card. The front desk is on the fourth floor. 3. The room does not require a card to activate power. The main power switch is a touchscreen on the wall (Image 9). The separate switch by the bathroom door was not very responsive. 4. You must swipe your card to lock the door when leaving!!! Unlike in China where the door locks automatically when closed. If you don't swipe, it can be opened from the outside. To deadlock the room from the inside, twist the inner handle. 5. There are five power outlets in the room: above the bathroom sink, by the bathroom door, on both sides of the bed, and for the floor lamp. However, some might not work, so it's best to bring a power strip. If you're only staying in Oslo for three or four days and mainly exploring the city center, I recommend staying at a hotel in the city center. It might be a few hundred more expensive but saves time, as public transport back and forth also costs around a hundred per person. If you're not in a hurry and prefer a quiet environment with a great breakfast, you can book this hotel. You'll sleep well, eat well, and enjoy a clean, quiet, and safe stay.

We arrived quite late, but luckily the hotel's location was incredibly convenient, right outside the station. The service was excellent, and while the room was small, it was very cozy. The entire hotel had a high-quality feel to its decor. Breakfast was also delicious, living up to its five-star reputation. I'll definitely stay here again if I get the chance!

Beautiful city, warm hotel. Every staff is very friendly. The breakfast is very special and rich in variety. The restaurant manager will deliver special drinks at the table and ask about the feeling; The morning bus was scheduled to leave the store, the front desk arranged breakfast in advance, and the luggage was stored for free (it is very convenient to go to the fjord to play so lightly). The location of the hotel is convenient and the room is comfortable. The daughter's favorite Norwegian singer Aurora at breakfast was very happy. I will definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity, it is highly recommended.

Hôtel est très bien placé entouré de forêt  Petit dernier au top Par contre de la vaisselle de room service est restée entreposée toute la journée à notre étage dégageant une forte odeur. C’est vraiment dommage pour un hôtel de 5 étoiles. Sinon séjour très apaisant.

This was an awesome location hotel and loved that it included free breakfast with as expensive as Norway is this definitely took one expense off our minds. Was in a good location to food, the Oslo train and bus station and more. Also across the street from a little store for those late night munchies

Extremely clean, and the facilities are excellent.

Located on Karl Johans Gate, this historic hotel boasts an excellent location within walking distance of the Royal Palace and major tourist attractions. The dignified atmosphere and tranquil rooms made for a comfortable stay in Oslo. The breakfast also offered a wide variety of options, making this a highly satisfying hotel.

Myself and a group of HE students have returned home from a conference where we stayed in this hotel. The staff were really helpful and polite. Every morning we would ask for fresh towels at reception and these were either provided there and then or delivered to the room within 10 minutes of the request. The hotel is located around 10-15 minutes walk away from the marina, the tube station, royal palace. The students really enjoyed how central the hotel was to everything. Check in and out was smooth, and the rooms were clean. There was a QR code in the room to scan if you wanted the cleaner to come in on a daily basis.  There was a small selection of snacks in the reception area to purchase. On the other hand the breakfast variety was really good.  From fresh waffles and pancakes to cooked breakfast, cereal, yoghurt and fruit, fresh smoothies and juices.  Overall this hotel is great if you want a base to go and explore Oslo. I would recommend this hotel to a weekend away.
