Excellent full Buffett breakfast we enjoyed salmon Lox, smoked mackerel, herring cheese, and cold cuts, including famous Norwegian brown cheese. variety of hot food include scrambled and fried eggs, bacon, sausages, stirfry mushrooms, tomatoes with kale. There were different types of shots such as ginger with lemon, carrot juice with lemon, and blueberry yoghurt. It was also variety of specialty coffee and regular filter coffee. There is also Nespresso in the main lobby and sometimes pastries. The room was well designed and felt spacious with natural light through big windows. Beds and pillows were comfortable in environment was quiet. Location wise it was only a short 10 minute walk from the train or a bus terminus, an attraction such as the Opera House and public library. Just outside are several malls and easy to access to public transport to take you to sites further away such as the pier and Oslo Nobel peace museum and City Hall. I particularly recommend the Gronland area for food. There was a public outdoor pool to try in the barcode area and several other paid options with sauna closer to the Opera House. The gym had machine such as treadmill, elliptical rowing machine, and a full rack of dumbbells. However, the area was excellent for outdoor jogging. overall fantastic stay

The hotel is well-maintained, with excellent staff. Our room condition was very good, especially the bathroom with dual vanity. A nice in-room safe is provided, although I dont think crime is much of an issue. Breakfast food and room were excellent. However, there was an espresso machine that was difficult to use and was sometimes out of service. Everyone was opting for the regular coffee machine. This Thon hotel is in a less trendy location than some of the nearby Thon hotels surrounding the Karl Johans Gate area, but it is very convenient for walking anywhere in the downtown area or for using mass transit.
