Thon Hotel Astoria - Oslo

This hotel has a good location, but otherwise it was a disappointment: 1) It was difficult to get warm water in the shower. It was possible, but took quite a while. 2) The ventilation was not working, and the air in the room got bad. In the breakfast table my colleaguet told me she had exactly the same problem: she had woken up and opened the window […] at 3 AM to get some fresh air. 3) Perhaps due to lack of ventilation, the bed sheets did not smell fresh, as they usually do. It was as if the bed sheets had been there untouched for ages. 4) During check-out these three complaints were written down by the hotel reception, to be passed on to the managers. I have heard nothing since, contrary to principles of good customer service. Now it seems to me as if they had no motivation to perform any better. (Had they contacted me, even for asking more details, I would not write this now.) Breakfast was quite OK and Wi-Fi was working well. The room was pretty small. I was lucky I had to stay only one night in Thon Astoria Oslo. Lisateave

This hotel is in the middle of the centre close to the major attractions of Olso and just a short walk from the central station. The hotel has a good breakfast, rooms are clean and somewhat tiny. However, I wasn't able to sleep even with earplugs and being somewhat deaf until 3 o'clock in the morning. This because of noise due to a café or disco in […] the neighbourhood. I understand that having a hotel in the centre brings some noises with it. However, this was way too much. Lisateave

At the rate we got we would have expected more, the first room was tiny, dingy and had the smallest bathroom known to man. My grandmother was to stay here for four nights with her daughter, but we complained that it didn't look like the pictures and got upgraded to a family room. This was better but still not as good as the advertisement, and was really […] dusty. The chambermaid didn't vacuum or change the sheets even after we complained that they were stale and dusty for the entire stay. The other guests were young and left cigarette buds and empty beer cans in the halls and elevators and were noisy at best. The street is also under heavy construction right now and should be for a very long time. This was very inconvenient as the street was closed from the city side and detoured our taxi quite a bit. On the plus side, the Thon hotels always offers a big breakfast buffet and was situated right in the middle of town. This is a budget hotel for young people and one-nighters Lisateave

Cheap, centrally located hotel. Good location, basic hotel. Don't expect that much - but if you wan't to sleep cheap in Oslo this is this place. Small rooms.

The room was quite small (single room), as well as toilet and shower compartment. Cleanliness OK. WLAN OK, Breakfast OK. Price difference between this budget Hotel and other may not be big enough to justify using Thon Astoria.

This hotel was very nice and a fair price for Oslo. The service and amenities were excellent, including a lovely breakfast buffet included in the price. Business services were excellent as well--free wireless service in the rooms that always worked and an easily accessible computer in the lobby that included free printing, which was great for boarding […] passes and itineraries. The only detractor was the size of the rooms, which were quite small, but very clean and comfortable, although the bed was quite narrow. They were only about 8-10 feet wide and maybe 15 feet long for a single. Again, this is quite typical for Europe, so this was not a surprise. Lisateave

Good location for walking around the city centre and getting to main railway station and doing tourist things. Small quiet room facing central courtyard. Plentiful and tasty breakfast buffet. Would use again.

The rooms in the new section are a good size and with excellent beds. Those in the old section are very cramped, especially dfor two people. Neither room has cupboard space. Excellent breakfasts. Very friendly reception.

This hotel was perfect for my purpose. Oslo is an insanely expensive city. For example, dinner for one at McDonalds was a little over $25 bucks. This hotel is perfectly located in the middle of downtown. All the staff was very helpful and professionally nice. It is a budget hotel so don't expect luxurious shampoos and carpets and that type of stuff. […] If that's what your looking for then I'm sure Oslo has plenty of very expensive hotels to offer. Don't buy a budget hotel and then expect luxuries. The free breakfast in the morning was quite good and worth its weight in gold. That type of meal would easily cost 60 or 70 dollars in Oslo. The hotel is located in a high traffic area which was what I wanted. I saw some reviews complain about the loudness on the weekends. That's true to some degree but don't get a centrally located downtown hotel if you're looking for peace and quiet. Go stay out by the airport 40 minutes from downtown if that's what you're looking for. Saturday night did have loud club music playing well into the middle of the night but closing your window helped and I'm not complaining because this hotel's advantage is it's heavy traffic location so it would be dumb to complain. Again, the staff members that I dealt with were incredibly helpful and nice so what more could you ask for? I definitely would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to be in Oslo's downtown area and looking to save some cash. Lisateave

We arrived late after a long day travelling and we were lucky as the double rooms were gone but the upgraded us to a family room! It was great and very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean modern and had a good shower. We were on the main street so there was noise from below but it's a city so it's expected and it did not stop us sleeping! […] Breakfast was a good selection! Good location for seeing the sights and only a five min walk to the railway station which was good for us! Oslo is lovely if rather expensive for food! We enjoyed our overall stay! Lisateave

If all you want is breakfast and a central place to sleep, this is good value for Oslo. Location is very central if slightly dodgy. Room was clean and bed good but few TV channels and no bath, so not good for lingering in. Usual good Scandinavian breakfast buffet, though down a side stairs and long corridor.

Friendly and helpful reception staff. Good clean room furnished in functional Nordic style. Excellent shower which often isn't the case in budget hotels. Fantastic breakfast buffet that would shame many a larger, swankier hotel. All in all, great value for money.

The hotel is very well located, a 5 min walk from the central station. Very nice and clean room. It can be a bit noisy during the night, at least if you have a room with windows to the street side, despite being on the 4th floor I could still hear a lot of noise from people on the street, there's a few bars near by. But overall a good stay.

This hotel has very convenient location with simple and comfortable service.

This hotel was close to the train station and the main "shopping" street. The room was plain and simple, expensive by US standards for a basic room but still nice. The wifi was free, the bathroom was adequate (although small) and the included breakfast buffet was very nice. The proximity to most of the sites was good, especially if you are a walker […] or want to use public transportation. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a basic room with no frills. Lisateave

Good value, good breakfast, good location. In summary, a top hotel based on a 2-3 star rating.

very close to the train tation (and bus terminal). I stayed in a single room, which was reasonably big, clean, everything functioned. Breakfast buffet choice was simply fantastic, I would not expect to have a fruit platter of watermelon and grapes in Oslo. The staff servicing the breakfast area is a little bit too efficient to clean the tables so watch […] your food if you don't want to lose it ;-))) . It happened to me both days that I brought a plate (or a cup with my tea) to my table, went away to refill a glass with water and when I came back, my breakfast was gone and the table was cleaned up (obviously they thought I have left). Just a few remarks: The bed was a bit small (lengthwise ok, but the width was about 80 cm I would guess) The main lift and a drink machine downstairs were out of order. Lisateave

The hotel staff were responsive, the room always clean, the breakfast (included) was a nice assortment of options, nicely presented. My one criticism was that the rooms were warm at night. I would go back.

The Thon Astoria was ideal for our needs, although the first night there the street below was very noisy from a rather sketchy bar across the street. The second night we closed our window, and that solved the problem. We were happy enough that we will stay there two more nights when we return to Oslo.

We stayed 2 nights at the end of a tour of Scandinavia and this hotel was a good location for walking all around Olso and getting to the train station for our airport departure at the end of our trip. Good breakfast included in rate.

The room was very, very small but very clean and convenient to the train station and some lovely shops. There is a club downstairs from the hotel that played extremely loud music until late in to the night. It was a bit too much. Once it ended, about 2 am, everything was fine for a night's sleep. The breakfast buffet was vast and excellent. On the return […] to my room I found someone sitting on the ground sleeping in the hallway. Clearly a party person from the loud club from the night before who did not have a room. Not cool. Why? I think it is a decent hotel for a night's stay and would say that it is good enough for just that except for the noise. If booking, I would ask about the noise problem in advance, if you will have to encounter the same problem on the night of your stay. Lisateave

Great location, very good buffet breakfast, rooms are small but cleaned and cosy.Good value for Oslo since you would pay almost the same for a hostel! Would stay there again!

You get what you pay for. This place wasn't too expensive compared to other hotels in Oslo, but I got a single bed room and it was actually the smallest room I've ever stayed in, ever! The bathroom was actually a wet room and you were given a window cleaner type broom to remove the water. For the size, you can understand why they have done it. I wouldn't […] criticise the place, as like I say, it was budget. Everything was very clean and comfortable, and I slept really well. If you dont want to pay Oslo prices, then this place it worth it. Lisateave

Super location near the Oslo S main train station. Easy to find. Check in was seamless. They have a free internet access terminal in the lobby for quick use by guests. Bed was the softest ever with pillow top and the room was very clean. Breakfast was a huge buffet with a lot of options. Would stay again and recommend to friends. Room #703 had a ceiling […] window over the bed and you could watch the stars at night. Bravo! Lisateave

This is very much a "budget"-type hotel, though it certaintly wasn't any worse than some other hotels I stayed at with a group tour that I was on through Sweden and Norway, which were rated with many more stars. For the price paid, which included a buffet breakfast (without bacon!!!), in a very expensive city, I would fully recommend this hotel, unless […] you are looking for a bigger room with more amenities. For me, I just wanted a quiet, comfortable place to sleep after a long, grueling day of sightseeing. This hotel filled the bill, and it was right smack in the middle of the main pedestrian/shopping area. Lisateave

You get exactly what you pay for - which is not very much! But then, this hotel is about one-third the price of all others in the same part of town. It's basic, no services, no luxury but the staff are efficient and the cost is low. Don't bother with the breakfast, there are cafes near by. It's 15 minutes walk from the harbour front, 3 minutes from […] the station, and is a low-cost option if you need to be right in the centre. Lisateave

Great location in the middle of oslo city everything in easy walking distance

2 blocks from train, just remodeled the rooms and nicely done. All Thon Budgets are great.

Exactly the necessities needed. A bed, a shower and close walking distance to the Central Railway Station. Only minus is that they should change batteries in the remote control for the tv. was too tired to phone for new ones.

Very good value for money. Great location - central and walking distance from main train station. Rooms newly renovated and were v clean and smart. Bathroom floored heated! Great to have own balcony also.

The hotel was very convenient to the central station which obviated the need for taxi or public transport. Although on the edge of a busy tourist pedestrian street we did not find the hotel location to be in a "seedy" neighborhood as other reviewers implied. It was quiet and comfortable. The area which seems to impose the most threat to travelers is […] the area at central station between the tram stops and the tourist bureau where the people hanging out seem very seedy. Lisateave

Good value for Norway. The rooms facing the street are noisy on weekend nights.

Title says it all

The other reviews talk about noise, my experience was much worse. The bar below the hotel started playing live heavy rock music and my small room sounded as if it were in the speaker. Earplugs didn't even help. I imagine that things are not always that bad but beware. Otherwise, the room was clean and cozy.

God beliggenhet og helt ok standard prisen tatt i betraktning. Bra renhold på rommet.

Dette er det dårligste jeg har opplevd på lenge. Det får så være at det er latterlig smått og trangt, men der var ingen varme på rommet når vi ankom, og dette tidlig i april, nær frysepunktet ute, og det var nesten like kaldt inne på rommet.. Hadde det ikke vært for at det var sent og vi var trøtt og lei når vi kom inn, så hadde vi bare forlatt og lett […] opp et annet hotell. Så vi gikk til sengs fullt påkledd den kvelden. Tok dette opp med resepsjonisten på morgenen når vi sjekket ut, og hun beklaget at det var slik, men så unskylder hun med at hotellet hadde vært stengt en uke eller så, derfor har alt vært avslått. Vel, vel, vi ankom så sent på kvelden at det hadde ikke vært noe problem å satt på varmen i veldig god tid til å få litt varme i rommet. Å stå og trekke på skuldrene og ta seg betalt for dette er direkte frekkt. Eneste positive jeg kan si er at det var så kaldt på rommet at vi nesten ikke la merke til den dårlige rengjøringen av badet. Aldri Thon igjen om det er dette som er standarden deres. Lisateave
