About the Hotel

Tjuvholmen (Thief Islet) used to be a haven for smugglers, thieves and scoundrels. Today it is home to THE THIEF, a modern hideaway – right in the middle of downtown Oslo. If anything gets stolen there nowadays, it’s usually us stealing our guests away from their everyday lives.

THE THIEF has filled this retreat with top international art pieces, carefully selected designer furniture, global Nordic cuisine, top quality spa and cosmopolitan bars. ‘Escapees’ are able to enjoy refreshing dips in the sea at the Tjuvholmen beach or stroll off the islet across the footbridge to the bustling Aker Brygge restaurant and business area. Most of our guests come here to get away from it all, and for the relaxing atmosphere of THE THIEF.

International-calibre restaurants, cosy eateries and high-quality galleries sit side by side in pedestrianised streets and squares. And the Astrup Fearnley Museum designed by Italian star architect Renzo Piano, is the hotel’s nearest neighbour. A sanctuary has never felt so comfortable and secluded yet connected.

The best place to stay in Oslo. The location is nice and the rooms are comfortable and well decorated. the service is superb. Guest relations does an excellent job in making your stay comfortable and guiding you to places to see and restaurants.

Summer stay at the Thief

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We have mixed emotions with our stay. the location is lovely. the hotel doesn't have any great views considering its location unless you sit at the rooftop bar. it is definitely not child friendly. however, the beds were super comfortable and the breakfast was amazing, however, given its is so expensive to stay here you would expect a very good level of comfort. Cleanliness - for such a premium hotel, hallway carpets not hoovered in the three nights we stayed there room - not hoovered in the three days we stayed there with 3 people in a room!

Trendy hotel in a great location of Oslo.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

Fantastic stay in the heart of Oslo! The location is perfect — right in a desirable area with everything within easy reach. The rooms are unique and thoughtfully designed, offering both great space and a smart layout. The property itself has a quirky charm, but in the best possible way, giving it real character compared to more standard hotels. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with plenty of fresh and high-quality options to start the day. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for comfort, style, and personality in central Oslo.

Very Friendly Staff But Hotel Design Problems

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

The staff is well trained, friendly & helpful but there are problems with the hotel. We couldn’t figure out how to get out room lighting to work. There are no electrical outlets on desk or bureau counter tops. My wife said the lighting in the bathroom made makeup difficult. The bathroom sliding door was made of solid steel & required a weightlifter to slide it. The safe in the closet was on the floor and you had to get on your hands & knees to operate it.

A Nice Hotel, with a few Issues

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

The Thief Hotel is a nice, modern hotel. Myu wife and I stayed one night there in late August 2025. We had a two room suite. The staff was very nice, the restaurant was good, and the room was clean and nice. The reason for my lesser rating has to do with a couple of things in the room. 1. The room uses sensors for the lights, so that when you walk into a room, the lights come on. Sounds nice, doesn't it. But when I got up in the middle of the night and walked into the bathroom, everything went on, disturbing my wife. It would have been much better to just have a small night light in the bathroom. The opposite also happened. I was getting some things out of my suitcase and not moving. The light went off. 2. There's no place to hang your towel so that when you get out of the shower, you can grab your towel. A towel rack on the shower door would have been nice. 3. There was a coffee maker in the room, with milk and sugar. But NOTHING to stir the coffee. No spoon, no stick, nothing. I wish the people who designed these rooms would live in them for a day or two so they could see the problems in their design.
