What guests think

Across many reviews, Grand Hotel Oslo is celebrated for its historic charm, central location, and welcoming staff, while feedback often notes dated or small rooms, inconsistent cleanliness, crowded breakfast service with queues, and spa access that costs extra.

Guests also praise the elegant common areas and the rooftop bar. Some report street or event noise and building layout hurdles like steps between corridors and limited elevator access. Overall, expect a classic, city-center base with standout ambience and some trade-offs in room modernity and spa policies.

Excellent rooftop bar and basement wine bar. Extensive breakfast. Staff very helpful. Only negatives , no ramp to get luggage up stairs in foyer and floors 4-5, and outward opening doors have to be locked with swipe card when leaving but nothing on door regarding this. Luck that we realised as always check door when leaving however our friends were unaware and inadvertently left door open.

Det fine med Grand er jo beliggenheten, stilen i baren og det ærverdige preget. Vi hadde et De luxe rom som var veldig stort, men manglet for eksempel hårføner, leselys, plass til å sette ting ved vasken på badet. Det ble varmt om natta da aircondition er så som så (ingen temperaturmåler). En av tingene jeg har satt pris på er å kunne ta seg en svømmetur i spa-avdelingen. Dette kostet nå 250 kr uten at det var noen informasjon om dette noe sted. Frokosten har stort forbedringspotensiale, du må vente på tur fordi demensomsorgen noterer romkamerat skal geleide hver og en for å finne et bord. Ineffektivt og irriterende. Velger ikke dette hotellet neste gang.

Well maintained historic building. Employees are very professional and helpful. Unfortunately the rooms I saw have only showers - no bath. One has to walk a short stairs up to access elevators from the lobby, making it difficult for elderlies or for people with heavy bags. Hallways also have random stairs. Usually there is no bellman in the lobby, and it can be a hassle to open the heavy entrance doors. The front entrance would benefit from a redesign to limit cold air draft in the bar.

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.

Really a disappointing stay. Many things in the room was not repaired or not working, gym was well whipped, but none of the machines were maintained in many things were broken. There was a fire alarm in the night, which apparently is because the building is old. When it happened no instructions from people working there not even an excuse for keeping us awake at 03 am. Wine cellar was closed even though it was announced being open. Cannot recommend this hotel at all. Drink drinks looked amazing in the menu, but was totally out of taste and watery. However, the roof terrace was OK but the same type of drinks.

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 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.

Frokosten var også dårligere enn vi hadde håpet med lite utvalg og mye støy. Forstår at våre forventninger var litt høye siden vi har hatt en tanke om at Grand Hotel er hakket mer eksklusivt enn mange andre hoteller i byen, men etter vår mening finnes det mange billigere hoteller i Oslo som er bedre.

Construction out our windows started at 7:00 in the morning. It was a loud grinding sound. There was no notice provided on the website of this construction which could be heard 7 stories up. When brought up to the front desk there was no accommodation made. The basic response: “ we cannot control the construction noises outside.” It was a disappointing end to a week long trip made through multiple Expedia bookings.
