My wife and I were looking for a good value hotel in Oslo close to the central railway station. The offer we found on the internet was good, but knowing that Oslo is an expensive city were unsure of what would await us. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised by both the location (close to station and on a lively... more

We've stayed in other Thon budget hotels and were very satisfied so expected a better hotel. The room was clean and about what we expected but very noisy. The facade of the hotel is undergoing renovation so we had workers on scaffolding right outside our window. The hotel is also on a busy pedestrian street in a very ethnic neighborhood... more

I traveled alone to Norway for the first time in Sept '07, and stayed in the Spectrum b/c I got a great deal. The prices for hostels were about the same as hotels. I read the reviews and decided on the Thon Spectum. The location is great. As a single female traveler, I felt completely safe and was in walking... more

It looks much better, more like an IKEA store, not what the pictures portray. The location, at 7 Brugata, is very convenient on... more

I know that sounds strange, but it was really annoying. My boyfriend and I who very much wanted to sleep next to each other had to mind the gap during our slumber, and it seemed that we took turns falling into it, since the beds slid around on the hard wood floors. Other than that, although the room was small,... more

Leider zeitweise hohe Lärmbelästigung. Reinigung des Zimmers in Bezug auf das Staubwischen eher unzulänglich. more

Wir waren von unserem Zimmer im Thom Hotel Spectrum sehr enttäuscht. Es war sehr klein, sehr dunkel und sehr abgewohnt.... more
