My stay at The Thief was enjoyable overall, with its stunning modern architecture and great location near the Oslo Fjord. The breakfast was a standout feature, offering a wide variety of delicious options. However, I found the average room size to be quite cramped compared to other hotels, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, while the staff were friendly, the service felt a bit too casual at times, which didn't quite match the hotel's upscale vibe.
