Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Thon Hotel Polar enjoys a very central location, putting you within easy reach of restaurants, museums, and the harbor. Many guests appreciate the extensive breakfast buffet, featuring Norwegian specialties and gluten-free options, while the comfortable beds also get consistent positive mentions. Some guests in lower-level rooms have noted a preference for higher floors to enhance the view, but the value for money remains a key highlight for many.

Mixed feelings about this hotel

uncontrollable temperature nonfunctional safe
I was a bit underwhelmed. The room temperature was hard to control (a common problem I guess). I couldn't get it cool enough, even with the window cracked open. the in-room safe didn't work. It took two calls to reception and about an hour for someone to come fix it. It wasn't a HUGE deal, but it was still annoying.

Fantastic Experience!

device connection breakfast option cleaning service
I stayed in a Standard Double Room. It was great! I was excited about the shared device connection on the TV. The breakfast had many tasty options and the cleaning service was excellent. It.
The gym was nice, but body lotion and slippers were not in the room. I expected these amenities to be available, so I hope they add this in the future.
