Hotel Cecil is a good 3 star. As other reviewers have said, its simply but the location could not be better for all attractions. Breakfast was ample, seating ample and hours of breakfast civilised...breakfast open till mid-day on Sundays! Oslo in general is VERY expensive so be aware so that you are not surprised. For example a pint of beer... more

The hotel is excellently located in the City Centre, close to the metro, main sights (Parliament, Nobel museum etc.) and the re-developed docks area which has lots of bars and restaurants. If you were comparing the hotel on a value basis with almost any other city in the world it would compare very poorly, but you soon realise that different... more

This was a good hotel. We arrived early in the morning, way before check-in time and they were able to accommodate us. It has a small lobby, but the rooms and bathrooms are amply sized. Breakfast in the morning is good and very convenient. This hotel is situated quite well. Close to the parliament (Stortinget) and walking distance to metro,... more

I always rely on TripAdvisor reviews of hotels and have never been let down until my stay at the Thon Hotel Cecil. I booked the hotel because it had such positive reviews on TA and because it was in a central location. One of the only good things about this hotel was the location. The staff was difficult and did... more

My wife and I went to Oslo for 3 days in September and was pleasantly surprised by the hotel and its location. The hotel is litterly 100 yards off Karl Johans Gate, once you arrive on the main drag, glance to your left and you will see the Royal Palace. Close by is the Fokus Bank, Grand Hotel and various... more

Great hotel in the city center- close to the Akyr Brygge, the castle, rozenkrantz gate and everything there is to see and do in Oslo. Broadband can be hit or miss in the hotel- altho they do have a computer in the lobby for your use. Great baggage room if you need to check out but want to hold your... more

Although Oslo is considered an expensive city, accommodation can be comparable and good value. We liked the Thon Cecil very much. Great location in the heart of the city, great breakfast (thought the signs everywhere warning you not to leave your belongings was a bit offputting). The room was a standard style 'business' hotel room, functional and clean. We had... more

Looking for a excellent mid-ranged place to stay in the heart of Oslo, look no further, this is the place. Lovely rooms, not overly large, but well proportioned, tastefully decorated and all the right extras. My room didn't have an outside view, however was very light looking over the breakfast courtyard/atrium. Very friendly staff, speaking excellent English, putting us brits... more

Very nice Hotel right in the center of Oslo. Close to restaurants, shops and underground, tram and bus stops. Very clean and quiet. Nice staff and free internet near the reception. Very nice breakfast two. more
