We arrived at Thon Hotel Terminus at approximately 11:00 p.m. and found the entrance locked. After knocking for several minutes, we were eventually let inside by guests who were leaving. A staff member was at the front desk but did not come to open the door. When we asked about this, he explained that the surrounding area can be unsafe at night and that the doors are therefore accessible only with a hotel key card. While we understood the security concern, the hotel should provide a clearly marked doorbell, intercom, or sign with instructions for arriving guests who have not yet checked in. The walk from Oslo Central Station was also uncomfortable late at night. There was significant construction, several closed sidewalks, heavy traffic, and many loud or intoxicated people in the area. We did not feel particularly safe and would hesitate to recommend this location to families with young children, especially when arriving after dark. The room was clean, as was the bathroom, but it was very small and became uncomfortably warm. There was no air conditioning, and opening the windows resulted in considerable street noise. During the summer, the extended daylight made it difficult to use the blackout blinds while also trying to cool the room. Breakfast was quite good, although it was not included in our rate and required an additional charge.

Helpful staff. Perfect location. Best breakfast of the 15 day trip.

The hotel is very clean breakfast lots of choices. The staff are very helpful

Great courtyard and great water pressure in shower

The hotel itself is good, staff is very helpful and breakfast is great, but there were couple of problems we faced. 1. The room we got was super small. It was advertised as capacity to sleep 4, but after converting the sofa to bed, there was literally no space to even put our bags anywhere or to walk. 2. I did not expect to face this problem in Norway, but the days we were there, were rather hot. With no A/C or even a proper fan in the room, it became very uncomfortable at night.

The breakfast was awesome

Walking distance to the Oslo S. Decent breakfast. Room was very spacious compared to the other property in Oslo.

The location was very convenient but the room was bare bones and the view was unpleasant. Breakfast was surprisingly good.

First thing that comes to our minds are the Complimentary Full Breakfasts…they were AMAZING! We looked forward to them every day! Not so great were basic room amenities. Did not even provide lotion and our first night there was an empty Kleenex box in room. Our room was only provided 2 washcloths for our 3 night stay and apparently, unless you call and ask flti have them replaced, even that is an unusual request! They replaced them once again and because one was used, there were no other replacements allowed! There was so much construction going on just outside and all around our hotel. Clearly it was not the property owner’s fault, but mad it both difficult to navigate driving and parking. Also I felt our hotel was literally on the edge of nicer for walking around and shopping on one side and the other side was a more sketchy area.

Breakfast included was amazing

Close to the train station and city center large and spacious rooms, very friendly staff - do trust their dinner recommendations. Very nice traditional Viking breakfast. It is a bit on the older side and some room do have windows looking into the courtyard.

Excellent full Buffett breakfast we enjoyed salmon Lox, smoked mackerel, herring cheese, and cold cuts, including famous Norwegian brown cheese. variety of hot food include scrambled and fried eggs, bacon, sausages, stirfry mushrooms, tomatoes with kale. There were different types of shots such as ginger with lemon, carrot juice with lemon, and blueberry yoghurt. It was also variety of specialty coffee and regular filter coffee. There is also Nespresso in the main lobby and sometimes pastries. The room was well designed and felt spacious with natural light through big windows. Beds and pillows were comfortable in environment was quiet. Location wise it was only a short 10 minute walk from the train or a bus terminus, an attraction such as the Opera House and public library. Just outside are several malls and easy to access to public transport to take you to sites further away such as the pier and Oslo Nobel peace museum and City Hall. I particularly recommend the Gronland area for food. There was a public outdoor pool to try in the barcode area and several other paid options with sauna closer to the Opera House. The gym had machine such as treadmill, elliptical rowing machine, and a full rack of dumbbells. However, the area was excellent for outdoor jogging. overall fantastic stay

The hotel is well-maintained, with excellent staff. Our room condition was very good, especially the bathroom with dual vanity. A nice in-room safe is provided, although I don't think crime is much of an issue. Breakfast food and room were excellent. However, there was an espresso machine that was difficult to use and was sometimes out of service. Everyone was opting for the regular coffee machine. This Thon hotel is in a less trendy location than some of the nearby Thon hotels surrounding the Karl Johans Gate area, but it is very convenient for walking anywhere in the downtown area or for using mass transit.

Friendly staff and clean room with a good breakfast.

Location was excellent, very easy to get around. Breakfast was good - lots of choice. The staff were helpful. I had a corner room which I couldn’t stand up in, you couldn’t access one side of the bed as there was a huge tv at the end of the bed plus sloped roof. The blind wouldn’t stay closed. Apart from the room it was great!

They offer a breakfast buffet that’s as good as anywhere! Very fresh, abundant and nutritious. It’s nearly worth the price of the room . As expensive as food is in Oslo, you don’t want to pass this up.

Good clean service. Quiet and good breakfest
