As I made my way I the direction of the google map I couldn't believe my luck! Right next to some of the most historic areas of Oslo, old looking on the outside yet a modern designer hotel! And three for two pricing when prebooked. Best breakfast. Enish speaking helpful staff.

My husband and I returned from a long weekend and the First Hotel was offering 3 nights for the price of 2 - a significant savings in Oslo. For the price we paid, we found the hotel to be great for our needs. Its close to the waterfront making it easy to find shops/restaurants/bars as well as pick up a... More

Service is number 1 to me and the staff at Grims Grenka were always very friendly and courtiess. Excellent location both for to and from the bus/train and then exploring the city. I would suggest the management review the pricing of the rooms as they are expensive for what you get, especially for the rooms without windows allowing natural light... More

Value: Stayed 3 nights for the price of 2. Therefore, for us it was good value. Otherwise, would not chose to stay due to the cost. Location: It is located on the city edge and the streets around that area are very quiet. It is close to the art / design museums / shops. If main aim is to be... More

We stayed here for Easter 2012 and the hotel was virtually empty. We didn't see any other guests and only saw reception staff. Pros: • The hotel has a contemporary design but relaxing • The room was well appointed. • Good amenities such as shoe polish, toiletries, etc. • Lovely soft bed and amazing shower. Cons: • The paint work... More

Centrally located and feels as if it was once the place to be seen but is now a little tired and need of some attention. The carpet on the front steps was loose and frankly dangerous, the restaurant is not open Sunday & Monday, the wifi was not working for 2 days and the fancy automatic sliding glass door into... More

Spent a night here in February and was quite interested to see how well designed it was. It was all OK but only OK. It was design over function - the lobby was just a bit dark, there was only one bedside table, the lighting in the room was too complicated, there was a step up to the bathroom and... More

We spent three beautiful days in this lovely place, and enjoyed the help of the friendly staff. The hotel is located downtown in a quiet street near the Akelhus Castle.

lots of posh design details, but not very well done. Dark rooms and too litle light on the bathroom to get a proper shave. Friendly and helpfull staff, but undermanned.
