Tjuvholmen I, As Home

Tjuvholmen I, As Home Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Tjuvholmen I, As Home, you immediately get the sense that this isn’t your typical four-star hotel. The building sits right on Lille Stranden in one of Oslo’s most coveted neighborhoods, and honestly, the location alone makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto something special. I mean, when couples consistently rate the location 9.9 out of 10, you know there’s something magical happening here. The entrance has this understated elegance that feels more like arriving at a sophisticated friend’s place than checking into a hotel.

The Tjuvholmen Advantage

Here’s what you need to know about staying in Tjuvholmen — it’s basically Oslo’s answer to a perfectly planned waterfront district. You’re literally steps away from the Astrup Fearnley Museum, and the sculpture park right outside becomes your backyard. The neighborhood has this incredible energy where modern architecture meets the fjord, and you’ll find yourself taking evening walks along the water that you never planned on. What’s really nice is how walkable everything is from Tjuvholmen I, As Home — the city center is close enough, but you feel like you’re in this exclusive pocket of Oslo that most tourists never discover.

Inside Experience

The hotel itself feels more like serviced apartments than traditional hotel rooms, which actually works perfectly if you’re staying more than a night or two. There’s this homey quality that the name suggests — you get proper living spaces with kitchenettes that are actually functional, not just for show. The design is clean and Nordic without being cold, and the windows frame views that make you want to linger over your morning coffee. You know what impressed me most? The attention to small details that make you feel settled rather than just passing through.

Neighborhood Perks

Being in Frogner means you’re in one of Oslo’s most desirable areas, but Tjuvholmen specifically gives you this unique waterfront lifestyle. The restaurants around here are fantastic — not just tourist spots, but places where locals actually eat. You can walk to Aker Brygge for shopping and dining, or head the other direction toward the royal palace area. The ferry connections right from the neighborhood let you explore the Oslo fjord islands easily, which is something you might not think to do otherwise but becomes obvious when you’re staying right there.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.4 rating really shows when you experience the place yourself. It’s the combination of feeling like you live in Oslo rather than just visiting, plus being in a location that even locals are envious of. Couples especially seem to love how romantic the waterfront setting is — there’s something about having the fjord right there that makes evening strolls feel special. The hotel manages to give you space and independence while still providing the service you want. You end up with this perfect balance where you feel connected to the city but also have this peaceful retreat to come back to each day.
