See my comments on the previous "Norway" post. We ended up staying at both the Continental and the Thief a year ago on either ends of our trip. While I would rate the Continental number one for location, service, and more my style ( it had just gone through major renovation so rooms updated and we had a great one), we also enjoyed the contrast of the Thief - more modern and hip, in a different part of town. They were a good contrast, but if I were to go back I'd do a jr suite or above at the continental.
