Centrally located , a couple of minutes stroll from National Theatre station. Old style class, with greetings by doorman. Efficient check in. We had a deluxe room, very spacious with couch and desk area. A bit gloomy as it looked on to a central courtyard and a lot of light kept by skylight above the restaurant. Large and very comfortable... More

At the start of my trip I stayed at the radisson blu plaza, small room, ordinary location. I booked the grand at the end of my trip for something different and was pleasantly surprised. The location was great, the room a great size and the bed was a proper king, not 2 singles pushed together which is common in Norway.... More

We arrived around 7AM after a long night train travel from Bergen and were very happy to be allowed to check-in right away. We had a nice room at decent size with quite comfy bed although the linen was a bit harsh to my taste. Lightnings were a bit weak and we couldn't get a room with city view. The... More

Stayed here for 4 nights during a business trip. The location is great, close to main attractions and central station to catch train to the airport. Other than location, nothing special about this hotel. it is rather dull and the room is outdated. Some rooms probably are good but most of the rooms are typical boring business hotel room. In...

I stayed at the Grand on 2 occasions and would stay there again for it's very friendly and helpful staff and great service. The hotel is a historical building that has kept it's charme by not modernising it too much with over the top renovations. The Grand cafe where you have your breakfast ist the nicest I know so far,... More

Being allowed to check in early after the overnight DFDS ferry from Copenhagen was an immediate plus in this large, comfortable, elegant hotel. Our room was huge, the breakfast buffet varied, with delicious eggs, cheeses and pastries, and the concierge staff all very friendly and helpful. If you like classical, older hotels in fascinating European cities, the Grand will not... More

We are in a Jr. Suite-lovely! There were no bellman to assist us with our luggage as we exited a taxi. Just arrived and feeling refreshed after a long bath. There is some sort of protest or focus outside with clapping and people gathering. Don't understand a word!

Perhaps I've been spoiled by the boutique hotels. Orbitz gave a good price on the air plus hotel, including the Grand Hotel, and I went for it. It's another big old hotel with tour groups. It has the location. If you want to be in the middle of the restaurant and bar scene in Oslo, you couldn't ask for more.... More

The Grans Hotel is conveniently located. When you walk out onto Karl Johans Gate there is a good feel. Vibrancy without a crushing crowd. The hotel is indeed grand. Its presentation to the street is impressive. Its lobby has a feel of the era when its grandeur was born (perhaps 1890s). The staff were very helpful and courteous. No complaints... More

Great stay! Had a rather large, and very comfortable, room with a view. Service is perfect, everyone in the hotel is serviceminded. The hotel had a beautiful spa, believe voted best in town. Breakfast buffet with a wide selection, good start of the day! Highly recommended for travellers whom like good hotels in great locations.
