Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The property was beautiful and the room was large for non/US standards. Bed was very comfortable and bathroom nice sized. Not a lot of counter space, but that's a bit expected. It was WARM in Oslo and the A/C was minimal. There was no fan, so we opened the windows. We were on the back side of the hotel and the noise was so significant that we got very little sleep. There were a number of stairs to be navigated and we each had a large suitcase and carry-on. Those were our only issues. Staff was lovely.

Grand says it all!

Grand Hotel was stunning. Such obliging and friendly staff. Bed so comfy. Breakfast was extensive and our dinner at the Grand Cafe very enjoyable and don’t let the name deceive you. Level 8 roof top drinks, providing a spectacular view, were perfect after a day of walking and staff were helpful with cocktail selection. Hotel Grand is very centrally located.
