We spent three beautiful days in this lovely place, and enjoyed the help of the friendly staff. The hotel is located downtown in a quiet street near the Akelhus Castle. More

lots of posh design details, but not very well done. Dark rooms and too litle light on the bathroom to get a proper shave. Friendly and helpfull staff, but undermanned. More

This hotel has newly had a major facelift and the rooms are clean with very modern design. We first got a room with a window that opened into the hall, but when we complained we got a new room with a real window. Very good breakfast in laidback environment! More

I had the pleasure of staying at Grims Grenka Hotel in early July and found it to be a wonderful experience and a modern, trendy alternative to the rather stoic hotel scene in Oslo. This was my second time staying at the hotel, having previously experienced it in January last year and found it to be very well positioned from... More

My boyfriend and myself was looking forward to a romantic night in the city. My boyfriend had booked a 70 kvm suite at Grims Grenka with a bathtub in the middle of the room. Sounded really romantic to drink champagne in the bathtub and at such a beautiful hotel. We showed up at the hotel at 4.30 pm and the... More

Checked into this hotel on my Scandanavian holiday. The lobby and rooms were visually impressive and the hotel is walking distance to almost all the sights in Oslo. However things started to unravel when I started unpacking and realized the room was like a sauna and the temperature could not be adjusted on the broken control in the room. To... More

This is one of the worse hotels I have ever stayed in. The rooms and bathrooms are very small. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. I hated being in my room, and couldn't wait to get out of there. Ventilation is also terrible. More

Grims Grenka claims to be a 5* hotel and while it looks the part it cannot really match the standards of other 5* hotels. We have just returned from Oslo and despite the jaw dropping prices (£50 for a bottle of indifferent wine anyone?) the sun shone, the Norwegians were charming and the live music for Oslo Fest was fabulous....
