My favorite hotel in Oslo------beautiful, historical, excellent food, and very warm and helpful staff. I always love to come back.

Fantastic location in the middle of the city and close to transport, shopping, restaurants and attractions. Breakfast was fabulous with a huge selection of food options . Rooftop bar was great and provided a nice way to end the day and see the sunset.

This was a beautiful hotel with a lot of history, amazing rooms with very comfy beds, and great restaurants. We only added the breakfast one morning, because we thought it was a little pricey, but it was actually an impressive feast.

When I called the room service to get some plates so we could eat some pastries we had purchased they wanted to charge about 10 dollars which was shocking.I called the front desk and they were not at all helpful and told me that they do this so guests would eat at there hotel.I said that was unacceptable and a poor show on there part.This I had not come across before.Also when I requested a refill of tea bags they said they would bring them with the turn down service an hour or two later.
Location was excellent as was the breakfast.

Our room was on level 4 which was actually a split level 4/5 so we had to lug heavy suitcases up and down a set of stairs which was not ideal. I would suggest this be explained on check in and options offered for other floors.

The rooftop spa and terrace bar and the cellar wine bar were all closed on the Monday. We had a disastrous meal in the Palm restaurant waiting over an hour for our main course!!! Have been promised a special experience next time but unlikely that we will eat there again.
We have stayed in Oslo twice before and this is a prime location. The hotel was very comfortable and staff friendly. Breakfast in the historic Grand Cafe was great. The rooftop spa and terrace bar were plusses as was the cellar wine bar.
