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.

As a solo traveller it was a refreshing change to check into a hotel that immediately made me feel safe with a warm welcome, and made me feel part of the hotel family. From the moment I arrived until the moment I checked out, every aspect of my stay at The Thief Hotel was nothing short of brilliant. My room was a perfect blend of comfort and style—impeccably designed, quiet, and equipped with every modern amenity you could ask for!. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the fantastic staff. They are the heart of this hotel. I was personally thrilled and incredibly touched when the receptionist Newa , presented me with a complimentary "booty bag" full of thoughtful goodies simply because she recognised that I was polite and kind when I checked on. This single gesture perfectly exemplifies the hotel's personalized, generous spirit. It’s a wonderful reminder that kindness genuinely pays off. The service throughout the hotel is brilliant. Finally, the food experience here is exceptional. Every meal I had, from breakfast to dinner, was utterly delicious. The Thief Hotel is a shining example of what a world-class boutique hotel should be. I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you want luxury, incredible service, and a stay that makes you feel truly valued, book here immediately!

Honestly if you are staying in Oslo and want a great location then this is it. Situated on a little 'island' at the far end of the Aker Brygge harbour area, this is a beautifully cool and stylish hotel. The decor is elegant and the rooms are large with the comfiest bed I have ever slept in. We had dinner in the rooftop restaurant first night which was faultless and cocktails in the bar with the sunset behind. My favourite was the breakfast which had so many delicious options, cold or hot, one of the best breakfast buffets I have experienced. It's less than a minutes walk to the harbour if you like a morning swim and there are dozens of restaurants and cafes within 10 minutes walk. plus only 20 minutes walk from the train station for the airport. If you want to eat out then the little bakery opposite is fab but for lunch I'd recommend the restaurant at the Astrup Fearnley museum and evening the restaurants along the Bryggegangen have the best sunset options looking onto the harbour. Lekter'n is a fun place for cocktails or burgers. If we return we would 100% stay at The Thief, worth every penny.

Especially Juliane gave me a good service helping me to resolve a difficult situation. She was so service minded that I would definitely come back to the thief because of her. The breakfast was amazing, but a long waiting line to get in. Not much choice at the area, but they had the most important that is needed for a good start of the day
