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.

Reviews for The Thief Hotel
Outstanding experience, perfect location
I am not normally effusive about my reviews, but The Thief far exceeded any expectations I had. (Yes, it is pricey, but then so is everything in Oslo.) I arrived with an unexpected health issue, and from the minute I called from the airport, until I left 4.5 days later, these folks were ALL over it. The entire staff, from the reception, to dining room, to spa, everyone was super helpful. The breakfast in the restaurant is fabulous. Wouldn't mind seeing Lunch/Dinner be switched up a bit (if you're stuck in the hotel for a bit, those menus are a bit limited and repetitive), but given that there is no shortage of places to eat within about a 10 minute walk, I'm just being ungracious. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience in this hotel, and will always be thankful for the several extra miles their staff went in order to make me feel welcome and well taken care of. There's nothing worse or more frightening than having an injury away from home, and this hotel was over the top in getting me back on my feet. The location is brilliant; you can walk to the waterfront, the National Museum, the Opera House, many of the Oslo main attractions are within minutes of the hotel. The Astrup Fearnley Museum is quite literally out the back of the hotel. My room was immaculate, and the housekeeping staff was greatly attentive to make sure I had what I needed there.

The place to stay in Oslo
This was a pleasant experience, my only regret that we didn't stay longer. The location of this hotel is spot on, no more than 20 minute walk towards any main attractions in Oslo's center. The staff was amazing, from the first greeting we got from a front desk staff, to the restaurant and housekeeping. A parking garage is under the hotel and it is around $50 for overnight stay. Note: they provide whole gluten free section at the breakfast buffet.

Best property in Oslo
The Thief is where you want to stay in Oslo. The location is perfect, right on the waterfront and walking distance to everything From the moment we stepped in the hotel, the staff welcomed us warmly. Our room was extremely spacious and had a beautiful view of the harbor. Do not miss the breakfast, it is the best way to start your day. The food was excellent, service impeccable and loved the setting and decor as well. Would definitely recommend staying at the Thief!
