The service was good. The room was clean and functional. Design accents were quite pleasing. The location is central to anything you'd like to do as far as nightlife, without the constant noise of crowds. If you have a room at the top on Friday/Saturday night you may hear the rooftop bar clearly. The only reason for not a perfect... more

Hotel Grims Grenka is described as a 5 star hotel but fails to meet this standard. The hotel is run with a minimum of staff , there were none around to help during my stay ,only one person on reception and they also had to double up helping people with luggage or serving in the bar . The lifts were... more

A weekend in Oslo and as have decided to only use >=4 stars hotels this was one of few vacant hotels. The location is quite good, walking distance to almost everything downtown Oslo. The hotel has a quite interesting design, but not my taste. Way to dark, lobby, room, dining... almost impossible to see what you are eating :) The... more

My fiancé and I enjoyed our night's stay at this avant-garde hotel which impressed us both. Upon arrival, the warm smile and greeting we received at check-in made us both feel instantly welcomed; as did the room when we set our bags down and began examining all of the exciting design features. First, the large angled couch a step up... more

I stayed at the Grims on a mid-week business trip for 3 nights in a summer room at a cost of 1650NOK per night. As the other reviewers have said, this place is indeed a triumph of style over function, however, many of the problems mentioned do seem to have been addressed to some extent at least. There was no... more

I've stayed here for only one night, it's under heavy construction. The owners deserve acknowledgement for the fact they tried to approach this in a different way, but there is plenty of work to be done. First, you cannot call yourself a 4-5stars design hotel or whatever and open without being completed. Some of the walls were not fully finished,... more

The fact that this place dares to call itself a "Design Hotel" is pretty hilarious as it's possibly one of the worst designed buildings I've ever come across. When we arrived, we discovered that the hotel was still under major construction - no one bothered to tell us so we could make other arrangements so we were forced to spend... more

I stayed at Grims Grenka this week and my room was hopeless. There are mirrors everywhere you don't want them, including full length in the tiny shower cubicle, yet none for shaving in, as there's a window over the sink to let you see into the bedroom. The shower has only a curtain, not a door, so bathroom floor floods.... more

Das Personal ist freundlich und man hat den Eindruck, sie arbeiten dort, weil sie auf Design stehen und nicht weil... more
