After paying an outrageous amount of money to park downtown Olso we were grateful for the free parking. The room is fine. It's clean, twin beds which are comfortable. Breakfast comes with room which was fabulous. They also have laundry facilities to be used by guests. We decided to stay two nights and take the train into the city. Eric helped us immensely to know how to use the app for the train.

The hotel is more of a stay-over place for athletes and employers from the Sports University , and…read moreoffers little luxury compared to hotells down town. A place to sleep and ordinary breakfast with little "further".....actually often only cereals and milk. Very friendly staff, and an opportunity to dine next to your sport idol

Without doubt, this place offers the best value for money on campus. A "börek", (kind of a turkish…read morecalzone), costs only 20 NOK. They have many different böreks and they all taste delicious, It's so nice to start off a long day at uni grabbing a börek here. They also make nice burger sandwiches and spicy chicken clubs. You haven't been a real student at Blindern if you haven't eaten here!

I stayed at Thon Gardermoen for one night on a layover, and it was a fine experience, nothing to…read morewrite home about. The layout of this hotel, though, is very unique. They are almost little portable pods that are all attached by hallways. It reminded me of the little portable school rooms from grade school. The room itself was nice and bright with natural light and fun, cheery blues and greens in the decor. Everything was clean and I felt safe, so there's not much more you can hope for in a one night layover stay. The bathroom was super bright and full of light, which was nice to wake you up in the morning when you need to catch your flight. A fire alarm did go off somewhere in error, so we had to all head outside. That's nobody's fault or anything, but I'm glad the little pods each do have the capability to hear the alarms. They also offer a shuttle to the airport (Gardermoen), which I utilized and was great since I was just there for the overnight layover, from the airport and back in the morning. There are a few eateries nearby (I got Peppe's) that you can order delivery from. They also have an eatery of their own at the main check-in area that you can grab some things from. I wouldn't so much stay here for my entire Norwegian trip or anything, but If you want an inexpensive option that is right near the Oslo airport (with a shuttle), definitely consider Thon Gardermoen as an option.

On your way to or from Oslo? Then The Thon Hotel is a great place to chill out for the night and…read morerelax before your next flight. It's very close to the Oslo airport and a quick bus ride gets you there and back easily. Let's start at the beginning. The Lobby. It's nice and clean but small for a hotel with a lot of traffic. There's a waiting/dining area which is handy and the restaurant is right across from the registration desk. The Dining Room & Food. The dining room is a good sized room and if you are meeting your group there, seating is easy. Dinner, on the other hand, was a disappointment to me. There's one entre' per night. The first night I was there, dinner consisted of hamburgers. I am ok with that, but there was no other choice. There was a basic salad bar with a few entries, but nothing special. Everything is self-serve which is convenient if you are in a hurry. Breakfast was the better of the two meals. Breakfast served 3 different types of eggs (yes, I love eggs) and they were all cooked properly but the scrambled eggs were a bit dry for my taste. There was some breakfast meat as well, sausages and greasy bacon. Yogurt and fruit were also available with unlimited coffee on tap. The best part? The meals are free, included with your room, so there's nothing to complain about. And, there's nothing else nearby to visit for a dining experience unless you want to back to the airport. The room itself was small but clean and comfortable. The beds are good, the puffy comforters are a bit too warm for me, but there was no alternative (cotton blanket option) so the only choice was to open a window. In the middle of Feb, that option was not one you can stick with for long. I was either too hot or too cold. The bathroom was clean and stocked with towels but not much else. There's a soap dispenser in the shower instead of lots of little soap bars, which I like much better. My biggest complaint is that there are stairs at the entrance with no ramp. I had heavy bags with me and I would have preferred to have a ramp to get my bags into the lobby, particularly when there is ice and snow on the steps. Staff was overall friendly and accommodating, it was a pleasant stay overall. For the one night I was there, it was perfectly adequate and served my needs as an airport stop over. It's far less expensive than the Raddison which is on the airport property and if you don't mind the bus ride, it's a great alternative to an expensive one night stay.
