Yes the Grims Grenka Hotel is fashion and modern… soft atmosphere, wood and glass materials everywhere, waterfall is the restaurant room, etc. It is a nice and quiet place. But unfortunately facilities are actually lower than expected. The size of the room was quite correct, but a lot of details were not convenient: no mirror above the wash basin, no... more

I had a brilliant stay at Grims Grenka, the restaurant food was superb. All the staff were professional, discreet, whilst friendly and helpful. My room was gracious, clean with a huge ensuite. I felt like a princess for 2 days..........! more

What a disapointment ! After a disgraceful experience in First Marin Hotel in Bergen - amazingly dirty and without any kind of service whatsoever - I though arriving to Oslo could bring peace back to me summer rest. However I was 100% mistaken as since the moment we set foot in the hotel everything was a disaster. We had booked... more

This hotel is most unusual. It could be wonderful but somehow misses it. The whole hotel is dark as if it`s a nightclub-this doesn`t work in the day. The first room we were offered was dirty with bits of peeling paint on the windowsill. We complained and were offered an alternative. When I commented that the hotel needed attention, the... more

It's a designer hotel. Our room, a suite, was very dark. Black celing and black/dark red walls and black curtens. No picktures to light up the walls. The lightning in the rom was also terrible, so for girls who wants to put make-up on, that was impossible. It was a very depressing room. The pillows was hard. The bed has... more

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

We came for the weekend, and told the hotel we would arrive at 8pm. We booked a summer suite approx 40sqm.On arrival we were sent to the room only to find the bed had been slept in, the bathroom had used towels on the floor. We called the reception, and were told that obviously the room had not been cleaned.... more
