A nice hotel very convenient for all Oslo has to offer. Close to train station and other transport options. Breakfast was very busy at the weekends and queues were a result. The food could have been much hotter. I would not expect to pay extra to access the pool in a five star hotel. Room service was very quick and the food tasty.

The property itself is beautiful and in a great location, but there were some significant downsides to my stay. First, the room was a disappointment. It looked nothing like the photos advertised, it was very basic and lacked the charm or luxury I was expecting based on the images. Additionally, the design of the hotel is not practical for travelers with luggage. There are stairs in the hallway, which made carrying my suitcase incredibly inconvenient. I would not recommend this hotel if accessibility is a concern. Lastly, cleanliness was an issue. When I checked into my room, I found hairs in the bathtub, which left a bad first impression regarding the hotel’s attention to detail and hygiene. While the overall property has potential, the experience fell short of what I hoped for. Improvements in accuracy of photos, design practicality, and cleaning standards would make a huge difference.

The hotel was “good”. Was probably great in its earlier days, not that happy with management, I was in a business trip and booked 3 days, circumstances changed and I needed to modify my reservation, Management said no, so I had to pay for a night I did not use. That is a first in a very long time where the hotel didn’t work with me.

While Grand Hotel is a fantastic historical place to visit, it is NOT handicapped friendly. Access and physical hindrances make it unreasonably difficult to appreciate the environment which is unique. Our junior suite had No handicap facilities (although requested beforehand). Professional, service minded personnel did their best to make our 8-day stay pleasurable.

Terrible stay in the suite - don’t bother

Avoid this hotel. We stayed in the suite: - and it was cold - the heating was luke warm and it is a large room. There was a small heater on full blast. It was ineffective. -TV remote was out of batteries and needed to be fixed - it happens. -The duvet was smaller than the bed. - We put the kettle on and it blew a fuse. We sat in darkness for 20minutes to be told we can’t use the kettle or other appliances whilst the heater is on and essentially blamed for the blackout. The manager was defensive and thought offering us a meal at 9.30pm (we’d eaten) or a superior room with a view (at 9.45pm), which we would not see nor were we inclined to pack and unpack were suitable solutions. We requested more duvets (two single duvets arrived). A discount was apparently not possible because we’d booked via Hotels.com. The dialogue continued the next day at check out. With this many failings, we did not expect nor appreciate repeating ourselves nor a third and another defensive, long and tiresome conversation. The manager offered afternoon tea when we were due to fly out. She offered a voucher for our next stay. There certainly would not be one. She was not inclined to recommend a discount to Hotels.com because in her mind she had offered (non) solutions. It was truly very disappointing. Yes we received a discount but only because we held our ground. It should have been forthcoming without so much effort.
