For that price range the room was very Basic. Bathroom shower tiles were very moldy and unpleasant looking.

The location cannot be beaten and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The Grand Cafe is perfect for dinner and the breakfast available is of a very high standard.

Was excellent. Only problem hotel did not have our reservation from booking.com which was not the hotels fault. Was with my daughter-we had a brilliant time and would definitely stay at the Grand Hotel again. Was excellent. Did not have reservation frombooking.com luckily hotel still had rooms as not sure what we would have done.

Great location for central Oslo business or pleasure. Excellent breakfast served in the historic Grand Cafe. Friendly relaxed and professional staff. Cosy 'Limelight Bar' for a relaxing after work drink. No Iron/Ironing board in room

Good breakfast and location was perfect. Disappointed that the bars were closed as this is one of the reason we wanted to stay there. I appreciate it was during Christmas and new year’s eve, however, we did not think both its evening bars would have been closed.

Excellent, friendly service. Staff totally non-patronising to a scruffy oik like me with little cash to flash! The hotel was recommended to me by the rock band that I was there to see. Well worth the money! Breakfast was incredible - fantastic choice of food. Room very comfortable - I had a fantastic slee. Beautifully clean bathroom. I was offered a room with a street view which I took but I couldn't see a thing from the window as it was blocked by what I assume was one of the letters from the hotel sign. I wasn't really bothered about it but I guess it might annoy some people. Also the prices of the goods in the minibar and room service. I should have expected it really as I knew how expensive Norway is - but near on £20 for a sandwich? How the other half live!!! A friend bought me a drink in the bar and I filled up on the chilli nuts that were served as free bar snacks!

The Grand Cafe serves excellent food both during breakfast and the rest of the day. Bar services are very poor, with a caotic and packed 7th floor and strange opening times for the other bar.

Centrally located, very nice, spotlessly clean room, free wifi, excellent, friendly staff, amazing buffet breakfast. Our room overlooked the street and was extremely noisy at nights until about 2am, also a lot of noise, banging etc from (ladies) (!) floor above. I would stay again, as overall it was great, but only if I could make sure that I had a quieter room next time. Wifi is free which is great, but is painfully slow.

We had a 7th floor room facing the courtyard. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The minibar was fully stocked with a wide variety of drinks and snacks - all reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet is simply amazing - everything you could possibly want. I couldn't manage more than 4 courses of the 5 or 6 that one could have. The location of the hotel is perfect - being on the main street within a short walking distance to pretty much everywhere of interest. Nothing much really - The noise of delivery trucks outside in the middle of the night was annoying and the directions/numbering of the rooms is confusing.

Style and facilities are nice. Suite was very comfortable and fairly luxurious although deco in places is a little tired. Breakfast was below par. I was advised by Concierge that breakfast was served until 10:30 on weekdays. At 10:15 I had to beg my way in and was racing after the cleaning stuff for scraps of food. The waiters were rude and made it obvious that I was no longer welcomed. In general the food was generally not well replenished and the selection was limited for a Grand Hotel.

I had a problem with my room on the first night. I asked to change the room this was completed with no fuss and when I returned from work that night my clothes had all been moved to the new room. Good location, good Breakfast Room the first night was very poor air con on all night blasting out cold air without even being on, no where to put clothes other than those hanging up. The room smelt slightly damp or musty. My two colleagues where also on the 7th floor and although not as bad I think the 7th floor rooms are need of a refurb.

Fantastic location, grand reputation, classic hotel, beautiful interior. Breakfast has a good selection. Many facilities, E.G. rooftop bar. Some of the staff (but not all) are very friendly. No WiFi in room, don't know if it's free in the ground floor. The standard room is okay, nothing special. Our non-smoking room did have a very very strong cigarette smoke (we should have asked for a different room). The business center has one old computer that gave problems printing boarding passes.
