“The Thief stands out for its daring blend of modern design and curated art, offering an experience that feels both luxurious and playfully rebellious; its rooftop bar promises panoramic city views best enjoyed with a Nordic-inspired cocktail. While its location requires embracing Oslo's transit, the hotel itself is a destination worth discovering. I think that's a fair tradeoff.”

I found the location very convenient. The harbor area was nearby for easy walks and access to the city center. Breakfast was excellent. It featured the best buffet I can recall. I stayed in a Beautiful Double Room.
The gym is a bit small. It could use a refresh.

I really enjoyed the breakfast buffet, it had so many options! The gluten-free granola was an amazing addition, I loved it. The onsite restaurants and bars are definitely worth visiting. I spent a lot of time there. I also found the hotel staff very modern and well presented.
I noticed a good amount of dust where the wiring is. That could be a fire hazard!
