I had mixed feelings about my stay at the Grand Hotel Oslo. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the city with easy access to attractions, but the room left a lot to be desired, particularly the amenities. I appreciated the friendly staff and the quality breakfast, but the noise and some dated elements made it less enjoyable overall.

Rooms

My room was a bit dated and cramped, lacking some expected amenities like a toilet brush and proper storage. The mattresses were way too soft for my liking, and I had to request boards to make it more comfortable. It felt like the room was not up to 5-star standards.

The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive, always ready to help with recommendations and inquiries. However, I did experience some frustration with communication regarding my taxi booking, which ended up costing more than I thought.

Breakfast was definitely the highlight with a wide selection of quality food, including fresh salmon and pastries. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a seat at the bar in the evenings, and the dining setups were a bit strict, which was disappointing.

Facilities

The gym and pool were quite small and often crowded, making it hard to get a workout in. Plus, I wasn't thrilled about being charged extra just to access the pool. Overall, the facilities felt a bit limited for a hotel in this price range.

My weekend stay at the Grand Hotel Oslo was absolutely good! The location was perfect for exploring the city, and the level of service provided by the staff made me feel truly special. While there were a couple of minor issues like the laundry pricing being quite steep, the overall experience, including the luxurious atmosphere and stunning views from the rooftop bar, far outweighed them. 🏨✨
