The hotel is in very good condition, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The breakfast is excellent, with a wide variety of both hot and cold options. All the hotel employees were very friendly, helpful, and professional.

I would recommend requesting a room facing the inner courtyard, as there is quite a lot of noise outside. I had to sleep with earplugs, which the hotel also provides in the room.

Travellers should be aware of the surrounding area. It is known for visible drug use and criminal activity, and I saw the police in the neighbourhood on more than one occasion. As a woman travelling alone, I did not feel safe at night. For this reason, I would not recommend this location for solo travellers, whether women or men.

I would like to congratulate the hotel on the excellent work Kristina is doing at reception. In all my travels, she is genuinely one of the most professional, kind, and helpful people I have ever met. Her outstanding service made my stay much better. Kudos to Kristina—she is a true asset to the hotel.

Best hotel room i’ve ever had. It was clean, spacious, wonderful amenities, a fantastic breakfast, and great staff. The only con was the area- it was a rundown area by the central station and a loud punk bar is a few steps from the hotel so sleep was constantly interrupted. The hotel provides ear plugs, so this shouldn’t be an issue.

I enjoyed my stay at Thon Spectrum. The hotel was clean and located in a lovely spot close to the town center and the opera house. The breakfast was wonderful with many options. The only thing I did not like was the inability to adjust the room fan and temperature. It reached over 26c (80f) and despite using the little fan they provided I was quite warm. Other than that I had a lovely stay.

The breakfast was amazing, excellent.
The room was hotter than hot, probably because the bathroom in floor heat was on high. Staff said they adjusted after we complained but it did not change. Had windows wide open so we had noise from the bar directly below us until 3 in the morning. Kept bathroom door closed and it became a sauna and the floor was too hot to walk on.

We had an accessible room which was really spacious with a huge bathroom and a lounge area.

Service at breakfast was excellent as they were quick to re-stock food and clear away dirty dishes. No bar in the hotel but there are 2 rock bars either side of the hotel which served excellent beer. We really enjoyed our stay.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. I did not drive so I can’t speak to parking, but it was very clean and everyone on the staff was nice and the breakfast was good. The only drawback was there are a couple of pups in close proximity to the hotel and overnight, you can hear some of the chatter and activity from the pubs in the hotel room, so I don’t know if there’s a way they can put some sort of soundproof shade in to reduce that, but that would be my only thing to be concerned about. I really enjoyed the place.

Cons: The room was hot with no way to adjust the temperature and it was very loud in the middle of the night since it’s above a bar. If you open the window to try to cool down the hot room then it is very noisy below. The neighborhood is so-so in terms of quality/sketchiness.
Pros: The staff were helpful. Breakfast was amazing!

Nice hotel for a short stay that's not too expensive. The hotel is about a 5-10 min walk from the train station (about 3-4 blocks) and within walking distance of the main sights. That's a 7/11 across the street and a Rema 1000 grocery store next door if you want to stock up on refreshments and not break the bank. There are also a number of places to get food nearby and lots of restaurants to choose from within walking distance. The staff is incredibly friendly and polite. The hotel and the rooms are clean. There is complimentary tea and coffee in the lobby. And the breakfast is wonderful with a great selection of food. Also, the dining area for the breakfast is very nice, spacious and elegant. The staff does a great job of clearing the plates during breakfast and the dining room was never crowded. The only complaint is that if you're used to American hotel standards, you might find the rooms and bathrooms to be kind of small and they don't have air conditioning if you're used to sleeping with the ac on. So, if you're visiting during the summer, you might have find the rooms to be a little warmer than expected, but that's pretty standard in Europe. The windows do open for fresh air, but the street below can get kind of loud with people drinking and celebrating because of the bars nearby. They also have a small but adequate gym with cardio equipment, machines and free weights. I would stay here again if I ever visit Oslo again.

The check in is friendly and efficient. The room is clean. We had a squeaky bathroom door hinge and they responded immediately. Housekeeping is very good. The blackout curtains work very well. The included breakfast is amazing for taste and variety. I was worried that the room might have a lot of noise but it is extremely quiet. Our room is located on an interior courtyard, not on the street.

The hotel is located very close to the train central station and the bus central station.

We had to leave the windows open to cool the room and then because the blackout curtains were closed we didn’t get much air circulation. The beds only had what I consider to be a winter weight duvet so we were just too warm sleeping.

Also, the room was very small and there was hardly any room to set our luggage and bags.

Another thing was that the bathroom was quite small and was elevated from the bedroom about 3” which was a bit of a tripping hazard, especially at night when you’re half asleep.

On a positive note, the hotel is quite near to the train station and had an excellent breakfast. They had free coffee available all the time which was nice. The front staff were very helpful.

One more note, we found that we had to use our electronic room key to lock our room door. It did not lock automatically. It wasn’t a problem so much as you just have to remember to lock it when you leave.

The room was clean, but very, very small. I had to sit sideways on the toilet. My suitcase did not fit in the space provided and it is not a large suitcase.
They did have a good selection of food at breakfast.
Overall, inexpensive for central Oslo, but with some serious concerns.

It was located in a place that had a lot of music entertainment in the evening, which is not a problem if you don’t have to have your windows open because the hotel has no air conditioning. So to sleep you need to close the windows. They did provide a fan which was nice. They did not explain that you used your hotel key to lock your door when you left or that you needed to push a button on the inside to lock your door. I have stayed in a lot of hotels and that was my first experience with that. Breakfast was nice with a big selection. Easy walk to town. Construction made walk from Oslo Central Station difficult with luggage, but that won’t last forever.

BUT, walk a few blocks and you’re in the center of the city with the amazing Central Station Complex of a large variety of stores, trains, info, metro lines, buses, and places to snack and have meals. Also, the hotel is very close to the amazing Opera House and fun walks to important streets and sights

As seasoned travellers we have had many hotel breakfasts but this was by far the best - plenty of space for a large hotel, so much choice & variety, & attentive staff.

Please note that most of the hotels in Norway do not have air conditioning. And most don’t even have ventilation systems, and just rely on opening the window for air. This works if the streets below the rooms are quiet, otherwise, it will be good for the hotels to put a statement on their webpages to let guests know before hand that some rooms may be noisy when the windows are opened. Guests from overseas may have jet lagged and want to sleep early! Thon Hotel Spectrum is one such hotel and has rooms facing busy streets below which is noisy until 11pm.

Just had a great 3 night stay here. Firstly, a fabulous breakfast with plenty of choice for everyone including vegetarians like me. The best breakfast I've had at any hotel in both quality and taste. Favourites included the freshly baked bread, scrambled eggs, omelettes, roasted vegetables, mango smoothies, cheese, pancakes and the ginger shots! Plenty of choice as well for meat/fish lovers. All staff were friendly and helpful - a credit to the hotel. Good safe location with bus/tram/train stops nearby. Also a mini fridge to chill your own drinks. Ok, my room was small with a very small bathroom but I had everything I needed and there was no outside noise at all (room 501). I'm 6ft 5 and the bed was comfortable. The waterfall shower was great. I was able to easily leave my luggage there as I had a late return flight. Whilst there are far worse things happening in the world right now, the only negative was that the bathroom floor had an extra hard ridge on entry. Difficult to see as the same colour but painful to stand on in bare feet as I kept forgetting (due probably to my age). Ok, not in the same pain league as when standing on a lego piece your kids had left on the floor but not far off! I'd suggest a small warning sign. At the same time, perhaps a sign warning that you're likely to put on some weight from eating their breakfasts! Overall, I'd stay here again in a heartbeat and will be recommending it to friends and family.
