    Grand Hotel, is situated at Karl Johan, just across the road from the Parlament. It's a beautifull hotel, and it's expensive. It has a swiming pool and good restaurants. It has some amazing suites. It's a member of 'World Hotels Deluxe Collection'.

    We paid around $200 for one night in a suite. Room enough for three with servants and concubines.

    Nice and old. I'd say a bit overrated since it appears it has been a while since it was remodeled.

    Grand Hotel Oslo: Slightly faded european 'Grand Hotel'    Check Rates

  • We had a comfortable stay in the Grand Hotel. Spacious room could have done with some refurbishment, very poor lighting and overheated. Air conditioning appeared to provide warm air (September). Front desk service varied from terrible (when we checked in were told our room number, but not where it was located, dispite 3 porter talking at desk no one offered to help with bags!) - but at other times staff could not have been more helpful! This may be Nowegian 5 star hotel but it would not be awarded this rating anywhere I have been. Dispite this, we would recommend the hotel but not at the rack rate! A great place to stay.

    Old fashioned hotel in european grand style. Great location, central for all sights. Has small swimming pool and great breakfast buffet.

  • This is the old style classy hotel of choice in Oslo next to the Continental Hotel. The famous norwegian poet/writer Ibsen used to sit at the hotels cafe every day and consume "liquid inspiration".

    Classy and central

    Grand Hotel Oslo: 5 Star... Probably not any longer...    Check Rates

    To set the stage... I paid 990 NOK ($145) for a special promotion twin room - ending up in the new annex of the hotel. A bargain on paper, still even a promotion only decreases expectations so far.

    Service in the hotel was fine. Not overwhelmingly proactive but courteous and efficient; the breakfast in Grand Cafe was another matter. They have had problems for a number of years, and apparently still do. It felt like a nice aged setting staffed by an average McDonalds manager. Clearing of tables was random and slow, coffee had to be aggressively pursued, and the buffet selection limited as well as slow to be replenished. Now, Oslo has charismatic young upbeat people working even in 7elevens - how they can fail to staff and manage quality at a luxury restaurant is beyond me...

    The 7th floor room was large, but otherwise on an average 4 star level. Television was aged and channel selection limited. A patio was available, which could have been a bonus if it didn't sport tarmac and one plastic chair a la roadside motel - needless to say I didn't spend much time out there.

    The athletic facilities were varied. The pool is about 30 by 15 feet which I would consider too small if 4+ people want to swim (unless they are fond of physical contact ) but located right next to the skybar which is convenient. The shower and sauna facilities were clean and nice, and the hotel offers health treatments. But, the "Gym" was a serious stretch of the definition. One italian made multi machine, one exercise cycle and one treadmill is not a Hotel Gym by any earthly standard. Obviously, just fulfilling the 5 star requisites are more important that offering quality training for the guests.

    I would rather stay in a smaller well managed 4 star establishment any day, but still, considering the discount and geographic location, I was moderately satisfied. If the room had been at rack rate I would have been upset.

    Quite a historic setting, a large number of artworks, an old world reception and a most central location.

    I will describe the unique qualities of this hotel as I didn't stay here. It is one of the nicer hotels in the older district of Oslo. Perfectly situated off of Karl Johans gate you are surrounded by cafe's, bars, restaurants and beautiful parks that Oslo has to offer. You are right in the city center so the location couldn't be better. The top floor has some amazing views and apparently has a pretty nice penthouse for various famous and infamous guests. The restaurant in the bottom floor is very nice.
