THON HOTEL GYLDENLOVE, Oslo

The hotel sits at the heart of the Frogner district, surrounded by boutiques, cafés and restaurants. The tram stop is directly outside, providing a 1-minute connection to the city centre or a 15-minute tram ride to Central Station. The area is highly walkable, with many attractions reachable on foot. The Majorstuen metro station is also a short walk, offering further access across Oslo. For airport transfers, the Airport Express train from the central station is the fastest option for late arrivals.

All rooms feature a flat-screen TV with cable channels, minibar, work desk, safe, and free WiFi. Bathrooms are private, with underfloor heating, hairdryer, and toiletries. A notable design choice places the sink outside the bathroom in many standard rooms, which some find less private. Standard rooms are small, better suited for solo travellers or short stays. Business Rooms are more spacious, accommodating up to two guests with a separate bed arrangement. Rooms facing the street can be noisy due to tram and pedestrian traffic, while courtyard-facing rooms are significantly quieter. Rooms have heating and some have windows that can be opened for ventilation.

The breakfast buffet includes fresh fruit, bread, pastries, hot dishes and drink selections. It is served in a bright dining room overlooking the Frogner district. Breakfast is paid separately at 195 NOK per person. The hotel also operates El Camino, a Mexican restaurant on-site, open daily for lunch and dinner. A snack bar and bar provide additional options throughout the day. The 24/7 lounge offers free tea, coffee and cookies. On busy mornings, the breakfast room can become crowded, and refills may be slower.
