Muy bien ubicado
Pros:

Me gustó mi habitación, linda decoración, silenciosa y tenía el espacio suficiente para estar cómoda. La cama y ropa de cama muy suave :)
La ubicación muy buena! Muchos lugares de interés muy cerca. El personal muy amable.

Cons:

Mmm solo por decir algo, las almohadas eran demasiado delgadas para mi gusto, pero como había cuatro, me acomodé😉

Støy i form av musikk på hotellet på nattestid. Kan ikke anbefale opphold.
Pros:

God frokost, sentral beliggenhet.

Cons:

Det var støy på nettene som førte til forstyrret nattero. Det ble spilt musikk fra midnatt til over kl 03 begge nettene. Det var støy med sang fra andre hotellgjester også i dette tidsrommet. Hotellet hadde ikke info på hverken nettsider eller på hotellet at denne type støy på hotellet på nattestid ville forekomme. Dette var en dårlig opplevelse.

Excellent location
Pros:

It is located downtown, next to the parliament and metro stations. Only a few minutes walk to the palace and other historical places.The room was very clean and comfortable bed. My room was facing inwards (not towards the street), so it was super quiet and I had a good sleep. The breakfast did not disappoint me. It was really good. The staff is friendly and welcoming in everyway. I can deffinately recommend a stay at Thon Hotel Cecil.

Good location
Pros:

The hotel is located close to the river and to the city centre. Buses and tram stops are within a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The breakfast is a buffet style with a good variety of foods both hot and cold.
The reception staff are friendly and helpful. The room was small but comfortable, our only negative was that the room faced into the hotel so the windows are sealed and the it wasn’t possible to lower the temperature of the air conditioning this made it hot and stuffy at night.
