I stayed here with my family. The location is very good, however, unfortunately the service from the front desk, housekeeping, and kitchen (dinner) did not meet our expectations. When we arrived, there was no one at the front desk or in the lobby for about 10 minutes to check us in, and no one came out to assist with our luggage. The front desk staff was somewhat cold and not particularly welcoming. The only front desk staff member who stood out positively was the gentleman who checked us out, he was very professional and kindly helped us with our luggage. In our room, the bed sheets were not clean when we arrived, and we had to request replacements the next day. Housekeeping also frequently forgot to provide extra towels and did not consistently refill the soap and shampoo in our room. Breakfast, on the other hand, was excellent. The entire breakfast team from the servers to management and kitchen was friendly, attentive, clean and did a wonderful job. Unfortunately, our dinner experience was disappointing. We noticed the chef cooking without gloves and eating while preparing food, which made us uncomfortable, so we decided to cancel our order. The general manager was very kind and approachable, and I truly hope improvements will be made. With more attention to detail and guest service, this property has the potential to provide a much better overall guest experience.

The Thief is where you want to stay in Oslo. The location is perfect, right on the waterfront and walking distance to everything From the moment we stepped in the hotel, the staff welcomed us warmly. Our room was extremely spacious and had a beautiful view of the harbor. Do not miss the breakfast, it is the best way to start your day. The food was excellent, service impeccable and loved the setting and decor as well. Would definitely recommend staying at the Thief!

We had a really warm welcome at The Thief. Hotel staff made sure we'd get the kind of room we asked for (With bathtub). Room was clean, modern and had really nice furniture.|The breakfast was a pleasant surprise! Everything was prepared with love and passion. It tasted accordingly. Staff was always warm and helpful. Spa was a nice experience as well, while not too big, it still offered various types of saunas and a warm water bath. A relaxing way to end an evening. |The location at the fjord was great as well, nice and quiet, some good restaurants around the corner.|While it is a bit pricey, it felt well worth the money. We'd come again.

We recently stayed at The Thief in Oslo and it lived up to its reputation. Yes, it is expensive, but in our view it was worth every penny. Our room was beautifully appointed and very comfortable, and the staff throughout the hotel were unfailingly helpful. Breakfast was a real highlight: a superb spread with excellent service, and the scrambled eggs were amazing. Dinner options in the rooftop restaurant are more limited, but what we had was perfectly fine, and the setting is lovely. The gym is good and the spa is excellent, though be aware that spa access may cost extra depending on your room category, so it is worth checking when you book. Highly recommended if you are looking for a luxury break in Oslo. We would happily return.

An exceptionally well-thought-out hotel with an incredible focus on art. There are fascinating original artworks throughout the property, including in the rooms, but the lobby is especially impressive. We would highly recommend The Thief to anyone who appreciates art and thoughtful design. The breakfasts are excellent, the rooms are stylish and very comfortable, and the location is superb. A truly memorable hotel in Oslo. Highly recommended.

Definitely staying at The Thief upon our return to Oslo. Incredible customer service, comfortable beds, best water pressure I have have ever experienced with sizzling hot water! Incredible location! Walk everywhere! Dining and shops immediately outside the front door. Downstairs bar was super chill hang out with phenomenal cocktails. Sassy blossom was my favorite.

The Thief is trendy and comfortable. We stayed in a three person room and while initially there was some confusion about whether we needed a kids bed, this was resolved in time for bed. The breakfasts were the highlight for us, so much choice and delicious fresh food, with lots of healthy options and the chance to try brown cheese, herring and other Norwegian specialties. We swam from the nearby harbour bathing stage and enjoyed the food stalls along the seafront in the other direction towards the town. Depending on what you plan to do, it can be a nuisance to have to hop on a bus (Munch museum and town centre are all a 10 minute bus ride), but the Thief is easy walking distance to the exceptional National Museum and the less exceptional Astrup Fearnley art collection.

This was a pleasant experience, my only regret that we didn't stay longer. The location of this hotel is spot on, no more than 20 minute walk towards any main attractions in Oslo's center. The staff was amazing, from the first greeting we got from a front desk staff, to the restaurant and housekeeping. A parking garage is under the hotel and it is around $50 for overnight stay.|Note: they provide whole gluten free section at the breakfast buffet.
