My experience with this hotel was largely positive from the start. The lobby was pleasant with comfortable seating and complimentary Nespresso and there were plenty of branded umbrellas for guest use. The receptionist was polite and patient (I got my credit card PIN wrong a few times, but no trace of annoyance from him!!). I was pleased with the clean... More

Close to most of what you are looking for in Oslo - including restaurants, sights, shopping, transportation and business area. Very helpful staff. Breakfast average. Ask for a room NOT facing Stortingsgata.

I can't remember how many times I've been here, but still am happy always to come here. The couple of last times I've visited Oslo I have had to take another hotel, but sure was happy to get here again. The location is nice, close to Karl Johan and Akerbrygge. Plenty of restaurants at a close range. Also a movie... More

Used Thon Cecil for one week on business, and the location is absolutely great - just at Stortinget, the ice skate rink - great. Rooms are quite small, but cozy and does the job. My room (511) had a "view" to the roofed atrium, where breakfast is served. Looking straight, it is directly to the elevator, so I had to... More

I must admit I'm a no expert on Norwegian Hotels but wow, what a shock! This hotel ranks alongside UK HI Express.... My room was tiny (not like the one on the pic). The shower room was like a small cupboard and the bedding was non existant! Perhaps this is it in Norway, but more of a basic hostel in... More

I use to stay in Thon hotels, and usually meet nice hotels with friendly service. This time I was put in a room with window against the breakfast room. The air in the room was hot and heavy, and I went to the reception to have another room. I said that i must have a room with windows that can... More

Oh, this was a very nice hotel, even though I promised I will never stay in Thon hotels again :) Staff was very friendly, they checked me in at 9am, that was great. Also they have free Nespresso - best thing that can happen to you, especially when you arrive very early and leave early. Next good thing was free... More

A few years ago I visited Cecil quite a lot. Last week I arrived Oslo in the afternoon (a little unplanned) and was in need of a hotel in the city centre. My memory of Thon Cecil was a cozy and comfy hotel, I was aware of the lack of street-facing windows in many rooms, but assumed (living in 2012,... More

This hotel is in a great location close to National Theatre station so handy for the airport express train. The rooms are quiet, the bed comfy and the shower powerful. They have really warm under floor heating in the bathroom which was lovely. No bar or restaurant but close to many. I didn't have time for breakfast but I believe... More
