    We wish the access to the spa (pool, sauna) was included given the price of the room. The rooftop bar area/experience could have been more elevated and there was no turndown service.

    Amazing stay at this hotel overall, friendly staff and great organic breakfast. The location is perfect to visit the city, quiet and close to the sea. The bed was comfortable and the heated floor in the bathroom and bathtub was definitely a plus!

    The room lightning should be brighter, its very dark. also I believe that the room service hours should be extended as they close by 10 pm which is pretty early. hence I would suggest making the room service 24 hours available.

    The reception staff were super friendly they made my stay wonderful. they were super helpful and professional. the location was exceptional and everything was close by a walking distance. there were multiple options of cafes and restaurants available around the hotel to choose from.

    My only criticism was that room service closed at 10 pm because they were renovating the kitchen. We therefore had to rush a little when we got there. This won’t be an issue in the future and otherwise they were outstanding!

    Loved the spa. Mud face mask and salt rub for the steam rooms. Delicious breakfast.

    As far as The Thief goes, nothing! I really like the hotel and enjoyed my stay. I wish the sidewalks weren't so icy though. I'll have to return when it's warmer!

    Location was great, breakfast was good, the room was very nice (though there were way more pillows that I would ever need). Room Service was awesome.

    Leaving before breakfast was served, but very grateful for my Thief ‘Booty Bag’ filled with lunch goodies.

    It was time to celebrate another one of life’s many landmarks and had decided to make a trip across Europe, culminating in a 4 night stay at the fantastic Thief Hotel in Oslo. On arrival I was greeted warmly by the front desk team and having prepaid through Booking.com, check-in was a smooth, fast a professional experience. I was informed that breakfast which was included would be served in the delightful 2nd floor restaurant, more on that later and also advised that access to the 24hr gym was via the glass elevator on my floor which also takes guests to the spa and wellness centre which are located in an adjacent building. The rooms are very well appointed with a beautiful King size bed and a large smart TV with both YouTube and Netflix access, the view from my 7th floor room was spectacular and look out across the fjord and palace. The bathroom was very nicely designed with a walk-n shower and smart mood lighting throughout. The Thief Hotel is located in a area similar to London’s Canary Wharf with a 15 minute walk (in winter) to the National Theatre Station which connects you to the Central Train Station, Oslo Airport and the rest of the city and region. The National Museum is adjacent to the station and is definitely worth a visit on those -20 degree days. The highlight of my stay at The Thief was definitely the breakfast and cocktails (not at the same time), the breakfast is a buffet style but on a whole different level, than your average self service experience. The food is presented beautifully and there is such a wide range of hot and cold fair that even with a 4 night stay I did not get to try everything that was on offer. In summary The Thief Hotel offers a truly amazing experience and I would highly recommend for solo or couples travelling to the Norwegian capital, the rooms are very nicely sized and the huge bed is super comfy with a good mix of soft and firm pillows ensuring a luxurious nights sleep and a very memorable stay.

    Nothing, it's awesome

    We've been coming to the Thief for over a decade and it never disappoints. In recent years being welcomed with a dog in tow we've come to appreciate even more that the hotel really is a home away from home. Having stayed in hundreds of five star hotels all over the world we've seen all levels of service, but there's a consistency and a calmness and something so relaxed about the Thief which is really unique and feels so welcoming. Never any issues with noise, always clean, staff are always super friendly yet professional. We'll keep coming back here as long as the hotel is in business, which I hope is forever!

    That hotel residents had to also pay to enter the sauna and pool. I understand needing to book in advance but I think it should be included in the hotel rate for better value.

    Breakfast was a real disappointment compared to other five star Oslo hotels and to past stays at the Thief.

    I have stayed here on a number of occasions of the last ten years. The hotel continues to be a cool, understated, class act.

    A few suggestions: 1) Suggest to increase lights in the room, it can be a bit dark even with all the lights on. 2) To increase the variety of in room dining options. 3) The reception staff could be more friendly.

    Great location, spacious room. Great breakfast - freshly baked bread and freshly squeezed fruit juice. Restaurant staff were great
