Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights as part of a business trip with my husband. He has stayed at this hotel many times and this is why we chose it as our base for Oslo. Firstly the location of The Grand is as convenient as you could get. The front overlooks the citys main boulevard, St Johans Gate. We... More

We booked a special deal and got a comparatively good rate (under $170AUD) for the Grand. A 10min easy walk from the train station, even for someone as unfit as me, and right in the centre of Oslo. After checking in, one of the staff insisted on taking our bags and had a good chat to us as we went... More

Stayed here on a businnes trip in January and it was a nice experience. My room was on the 5th floor, facing Rosenkrantz gate, and there was no noise from that side. Relatively spacious room with all amenities I could ask for, and it was kept very clean. Good, free wifi. The location is excellent, just a short walk away... More

The Grand is the "Old Lady" of Oslo hotels. It has a great reputation and bags of history. It is set in what is just about the best spot in town, a nice park on Karl Johan Gt (Oslos Main street) right opposite the parliment buildings and in sight of the Royal Palace. The main train station is a short... More

I stayed at this hotel whilst on a business trip in January and must say my experience was not pleasant. No towels in my room the first night. My room was in the center near the ventilation units which were very loud and kept me awake. They also had several events over the weekend which involved bands so the music... More

The room was nice and clean. Renowated bathroom. I had a singel room with a queen sized bed. There was some renovating work at the hotel, but it was told you by check-in and it was from 10 in the morning till 18 in the evening. The service was very good, handed in some clothes and got them back the... More

The service was terrible.. We had problems with our reservation and the staff was very rude. Beside, the hotel is not clean as it should be and there are many rooms too old. Even the refurbished ones have old bathrooms. I don't recommend at all! More

I stayed here in Summer 2011 as part of a business meeting. I was given a standard room on an interior airshaft. The room was incredibly small with dated furnishings, and it received almost no light whatsoever. It was equivalent to a 2-start hotel room in the United States. My colleagues who stayed in suites and rooms with a view,... More

We stayed in Grand Hotel Oslo from December 27-30, 2011. The hotel location is excelent. We stayed at the "ladies floor", a floor with pictures of notable Norwegian women. The room was not as good as we expected but was OK. The bathroom was a bit small and the bathroom was not separate from the shower, but in general was... More
