    We had been charmed with our stay at The Thief back in 2019 & didn't hesitate to book with them twice, both coming as well as going, on our most recent trip to Norway. I am very delighted to report that once again, we were so happy to be stolen...

    Honestly just an all around brilliant place. I’ve eaten breakfast in most of the best hotels around the world…. Honestly none of them compare to the thief’s epic breakfast.

    The hotel is located centrally in the city of Oslo. This area(Tjuvholmen) is car free, which means that it is very safe and quiet. I could see the channel and the Oslofjord from the balcony. What an amazing view!

    location is nice, by the water. gym is small but nicely equipped. sauna is nice but not as exceptional as expected. breakfast is really good! Wide choices: warm, cold, mimosas. really worth it. also you get a free entrance to a really cool art...
