“Great base for visiting a Wonderful City”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Couldn't have asked for anything more from a hotel. Excellent value for money although you have to bear in mind that our deal included 1 night free. Room was found to be exactly as advertised on the website. Clean, presentable and more than adequate. Service very professional, and the staff answered all our needs. Although, to be fair, we didn't need to request much because most of our needs had been catered for as standard. The Hotel is located close enough to amenities and attractions to allow easy access, withough being in the centre of things.

Breakfast was well presented and food was good. This hotel is not in the luxury bracket. It was, however, for us a great base for a very enjoyable visit to beautiful city.

Room Tip: There was refurbishment taking place so you may wish to enquire whether your floor/corridor is affec...

Thank you for your positive comments and recommendations. We hope you will return to us in the future, and If you are coming back in the summer, make sure you ask for one of our rooms with terraces located on the top floors. They all have nice views towards the city or the Royal castle.

“Very good service, value and location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I stayed in this hotel twice on a recent trip through Norway and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were very helpful, the room very comfortable and the location very central, yet I enjoyed the quietest night I have had in Oslo. I have stayed in several central Oslo hotels, all of which were more expensive than the Europa, yet they were not as good.

“Friendly and a great breakfast...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Use this hotel during a business trip, very friendly staff. The breakfast in the morning had a great selection. The wireless wasn't the greatest but besides that everything else was great. The washroom is European style, so american's would find it small. The only thing missing was a clock, luckily I had my cell phone to keep track of time. But for the price this is the best hotel in the area to stay at. The hotel was also only a few minute walk to a major T-bane (subway) station which made travel very easy around the city.

“Good enough!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

Nice hotel in the heart of Oslo, just opposite the Radisson Blu hotel. My room was fresh and newly refurbished, with a very comfortable bed. Bathroom was very small and did not seem to be refurbished lately, but still OK. Breakfast was nothing special, but that does not mean it was bad. Nice price for Oslo, could stay here again!

“Central, reliable and cheap”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

I had a very pleasant stay at Thon Hotel Europa. The price was a lot lower than the neighbouring hotels, however the "cheapness" did not reflect in the hotel.
Great breakfast, clean rooms, friendly staff, free internet, access to public transport and location walking distance from the city center - what else do you want?

Thank you for taking time to write a review on Tripadvisor.
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. Our rooms have two different interior themes and our guest are free to choose which one they prefer. We also have some very nice rooms on the top floors with private terraces. These are very popular in the summer period and we will be happy to assign one of these for you if you should return to us in the future.
