Stayed in may for a buisness trip. The hotel is situated in Karl Johan street close to resturants bars and shopping, and only a five minute walk from aker brygge. The room I had was spacious with a big comfortable bed. The bathroom was refurbished and very nice. The breakfast buffet was great. I also liked the atmosphere at the... More

This is a grand hotel in the true tradition. I stayed in a deluxe room which was incredibly large and comfortable. It really felt like I was stepping back in time. Location is excellent. Only a couple of minor issues... no drawers in the room, just a wardrobe so couldn't unpack those items not needing hangers and twin beds instead... More

This is an old hotel in an excellent location. While the glitterati stay here, the facility is worn. Our room is tiny and has long been out of date. The service is spotty, the food is poor. On the whole it's not up to first rate hotel standards. The location is its saving grace, but I wouldn't be surprised if... More

We stayed here in February for a business trip. The location is perfect downtown and close to the Palace. I had read some mediocre reviews, saying that the accomodations are old and dated. However, I found that the hotel was still very nice and the service is top notch. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. I liked all of the... More

Fantastic location but very dated interior, it needs a complete renovation. I'll come back only if they upgrade.

The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was very good, and they were quite flexible as we did turn up for breakfast a little late each morning, My brother who... More

Rooms are good but not perfect (little dated and could be cleaner). But the hotel has the nice atmosphere of 'a grand old lady'. Did there best to check us in really... More

I spent 3 nights here and really enjoyed it. Oslo is quite expensive so we hung out in the room a bit in the evening after dinner. The staff are really friendly and helpful. There is a fabulous spa and pool upstairs. The pool is more for relaxation than for kids as it's quite dark in that area, with low... More

My two nights at the Grand Hotel, Oslo were one of the nicest hotel stays of my life. My room was comfortable, spacious, and nicely appointed; the staff were unfailingly friendly, helpful, and pleasant to talk to; the location is unbeatable; the breakfast at the Grand Cafe was fantastic. I did have to contend with a little night club noise... More
