Thon Hotel Storo

Outstanding and plentiful breakfast and the breakfast staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was a little outside the center of Oslo but was easily accessible by metro or bus. Really nice area to walk or bike around.

The breakfast and the choices of it. You could ask for a nice cup of coffee during it if one from machine was not enough. The room was silent as i hoped for and thanks to that it let me get the rest i needed. The location also is amazing. Many restaurants nearby with reasonable prices, a gym, shopping mall and bus that gets you to city center in 30 ish minutes. The staff is also nice and tries to answer every question to the best of their abilities.

The breakfast was absolutely excellent! It had it all :-D The room was good-sized with two(!) comfy arm chairs and a desk. The shower was really good with both a handheld mouthpiece and a large overhead one. There was also plenty of space for you luggage.The bed was also comfy and not too soft (I like beds tending towards the firm end of the spectrum). Another detail I appreciated was the main power switch for the room. It was the ordinary solution where you are supposed to insert your key card in order to activate the power. However, here there was already a card in the switch and all you had to do was to press it in a bit when you arrive, and pull it out slightly when you leave the room. No risk to forget your card, nice!

The buffet breakfast was the best we've ever had. On the first two nights the hotel was packed - we'd arrived on National Day, a public holiday. Despite this there were enough seats, a fantastic choice and everything was replenished rapidly. The hotel was in easy reach of Storo metro with departures every few minutes to the central area and beyond. Tip : if you are spending 3+ days like we did and over 65 the 7 day 'RUTER' pass for 177NOK is excellent for unlimited travel on the metro and Ruter buses and lines1 and 2 of the ferries out to the islands.

Breakfast was fantastic with a lot of variety to choose from. Room and bathroom were a good size and the bed was comfortable, not too soft or too firm. Staffing that I came in contact with, spoke English. Public transportation was within walking distance and a shopping mall next door.
