We went as a group to Oslo for a long weekend and had a fantastic time at the Grand Hotel. We made the mistake of getting a taxi from the airport (£130) and got the train back. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the train station and the service to the airport is good and regular. The Hotel... More

Access to reception and to the lifts required the assistance of staff with luggage due to steps. Reception staff pleasant and helpful. Room was OK and the bed very comfortable but the renovations being done outside to the balconies was ugly to look at and there was annoying flapping of canvas. As usual in Scandanavia summer we had to have... More

At the heart of Oslo; walking distance from the train station, very near the beautiful Oslo Port, fool of life and beautiful tall ships, very near pedestrian shopping street, classic, old but charming still; the Oslo Grand Hotel is a nice stay. The cafe, for breakfast or lunch, makes you feel going back in time, as the inside lounge does.... More

Stayed here to attend a conference. (They ran the conference very well - AV and catering). Good service from the reception staff. If you have trouble with steps you should avoid this hotel. From reception there are about 10 steps up to the two lifts. My room was on the 4/5 floor. Yes - even the lift (elevator) button has... More

Stayed there for few nights and I have to say I expected more. well everything was nice, stuff friendly, big and clean rooms, but it had old fashion atmosphere and due to high price I go for 4 out od 5. I would recommend this hotel also for its good location on the main street near to everything.

The Grand is in a great location, on Oslo central square and only a couple of minutes walk from National Theatre station where you can get a train directly to the airport. My room was an interior one but still you could hear the noise from the bars at night. The room was small with a mini bar, but no... More

The location was good, near to metro, shopping, dinning and airport train/bus, so it was very convenient. The room was clean and comfortable, and of course like most rooms in this region, small. The breakfast in Grand Cafe was a bit 'over-hyped', i thought, i've had better breakfast elsewhere in this region. One thing though, their service was superb. So... More

I’ll sum up our stay at the Grand Hotel this way: Bruce Springsteen stayed here the same nights we did. And with good reason. The well-appointed rooms are clean and comfortable, and we were lucky enough to get a room overlooking Karl Johans Gate, right in the heart of Oslo. Breakfast at the Grand Cafe is a nice old-world luxury,... More

Grand is my 4th choice in hotels in Oslo. The location couldn't be better, on the main Plaza, across the street from Parliament. This is where the Nobel winners stay and, during my trip, two A-list rock/pop stars with concerts in Oslo stayed here. The problem with the hotel is the inconsistency in the rooms. Some are fantastic (the latest... More
