The place has the ultra modern feel judging just from the lobby ea. Its wide and open with lots of couches to hang out at. The receptionist are often friendly and will help to the best of their abilities. I got one of the ordinary rooms which i was pretty content with. Theres a nice 45" flat screen TV but theres only 20 channels and 90% of it is in Norwegian. Thank god for the discovery channel which is in english. There is also a small gym that has 2 threadmills a set of dumbells and a bowflex machine. Anything would be good when its really cold outside. Cant really complain about this hotel. The free wifi is pretty fast which helps with all the facetime for your love ones. I would recommend this hotel if you are in Norway.

The location and views are unbeatable and there are numerous outside places to enjoy a drink and relax. Rooms are small and some have balconies with a small table and a couple of chairs. It is pricey, but just 10mins stroll to Holmen Centre and a 10min taxi to Asker or Sandvika stations. Breakfast is included and there's a pretty good selection. However, food is just warm and the staff very slow at refilling empty dishes.

You can be so unfortunate as to have a truly awful - and not exactly cheap - dinner there, and the…read moreamount of practical information is unsatisfactory (for instance, customers aren't necessarily told in advance that the restaurant closes at 7PM on Sundays). There's a terrific view over the fjord from the grounds (including at least one furnished terrace) and at least some of the rooms, though; the hotel is conveniently near Oslo; and parts of the buildings have a nice historical atmosphere to them (authentic classic Norwegian décor). Also, there's a nice little lawn on which you can sit or lie among apple trees in the summer.

Amazing stay at this incredible location of the Thon Hotel. We are currently visiting Norway for…read morethe first time from North America and immediately the service provided by the staff at the Oslofjord goes above and beyond an amazing experience. Louis, the concierge at the front desk, has been an amazing ambassador of the Thon Hotel brand. He welcomed us with a great smile and friendly disposition, and immediately placed himself at our service. He provided us with valuable information about transportation, the city, things to do in Oslo, Sandvika, and talked to us about other great cities to experience around all Norway. He has been a well of knowledge. The hotel itself is easy to access. It is only minutes away from the Sandvika Train station by Uber. It is also quite comfortable and clean. With a contemporary design the building stands out close to the Oslo waters. Once inside, the lobby is spacious, bright, and beautifully decorated with a magnificent marble sculpture. There's also a restaurant where the early morning breakfast is served, and what a breakfast. It consists of a magnificent buffet including smoked salmon, smoothies, omelets, bacon, sausage, and eggs in various other forms, fresh fruits, pancakes with different delicious jams, and so much more, all cooked in front of you my a magnificent team of chefs. The wait staff is also great. They keep the restaurant and the tables impeccably clean, and keep the coffee flowing. Again, their level of service was impeccable. If I could give the hotel staff 10 stars I would. They made our stay not just comfortable, but magnificent!

Room: Comfortable and sleek, like most Thon hotels in the area. Nothing really stands out, except that there were wifi issues in our room. Staff: Didn't interact with them very much, but no complaints. Breakfast: Meh. Just ok. Have had better tasting food at other hotels. Selection was ok, but had run out of some items. Dishes were not bussed very quickly. We ended up stacking our plates. Bottom Line: Wouldn't mind returning to the area because its a charming place for a walk, but may compare with other hotels in the area.
