American travelers will find this hotel to be an excellent value (Hilton/Hyatt standards) It was outstanding, for the price class it's in. The gourmet buffet breakfast was incredible, and very unexpected. Rooms are modern, very nice, very good bedding and pillows, immaculate bathroom features/plumbing. Lobby is welcoming and comfortable and free coffee/tea all day. We sat in the lobby a lot, just because it was nice down there! This particular Thon ( there are 4 or 5 in Oslo) is a bit of a walk from the Central Train Station (Oslo S), but possible to walk to. Next time, we'd jump on the street car at the train station and take it up the hill to the hotel's neighborhood. Its location is good for the park and the Royal Palace grounds that are just across the street. We felt very very safe here, and in Oslo in general.
