Reviews of Grand Hotel Oslo

  • Yelyzaveta from Switzerland (8/10)

    Location is just incredible! Breakfast is top! One of the best I ever had in the hotels. The bar in lobby is amazing – very professional bartenders, nice conversation! Also you will meet interesting people in this hotel for sure. Was super fun!

  • Zarnigar from United Kingdom (7/10)

    Great location

  • Richard from United Kingdom (7/10)

    The fantastic staff upgraded us to a much more modern and larger room. The bathroom was well designed, and elegant. The bed, the main reason for being in a hotel, was dreadful, the mattress was way too soft offering no support. The duvet didn’t fit the bed.

  • Jacqui from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Fantastic location, lovely staff and rooms comfortable

  • Samir from Saudi Arabia (9/10)

  • Lucy from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Room was nice and big and bed comfortable.

  • David from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Staff were incredibly attentive, knowledgeable and accommodating whilst helping us find a bar and food on NYE in a city that doesn't stay open!
    Rubina the Concierge, the bar manager (whose name we didn't get) and the FOH team were all amazing

  • Amrita from United Arab Emirates (8/10)

    Perfectly located in the heart of buzzing shopping district. Most of the attractions are walking distance away. The decor of the hotel is tastefully done. Room size are large. Certainly gives a grand welcome.
