Norwegian Museum of Magic

Make sure you register BEFORE arriving. There are no staff onsite and we met multiple travelers who could not figure out how to check in or get into the hotel or their rooms. If you register before arriving you get your digital key and things work smoothly

The place was spacious as we had the two bedrooms. The apartment had natural cooling, which was ok as it wasn’t as hot while we were there and cooled pretty good with the windows opened. The kitchen was okay stocked, but didn’t have a few essentials like oven mitts and dish towel or cloth. Place was equipped with soaps and a few pods for dishwasher and one for washing machine. It does take some time to dry, but we hung some clothes up and they dried overnight. We were able to access key cards into building and room okay. It did take some time to hear back on the luggage room code, the messenging system seems automated, but we finally got through. There was bad reception in the basement as well. Overall a good stay. Location was close to grocery store and a relatively short 10 minutes walk from the train station. Some music at night, but wasn’t bad on weekdays. Sundays are quiet. The view was nice and so is the roof top patio.

The Thief Hotel was extremely well located and its staff excellent and very helpful. Our luggage was lost and hotel staff was aggressive in getting them returned before our cruise left. The breakfast is very good and the roof top bar pleasant in good weather. The hotel restaurant has a limited menu but there are many good restaurants within a short walk. Our room was clean and well laid out but the “balcony “ is not worth the extra cost. Serif our room was excellent. We would recommend The Thief in Oslo.
