I have just returned from a weeks holiday in Oslo staying at the Grand Hotel. Having read previous reviews I wasn't disappointed that our room was dark and overlooking the courtyard. It was clean with plenty of space for clothes although they could have made more use in the bathroom with storage under the sink. The foyer is beautiful, certainly five star quality, with pleasant staff and busy with people coming and going at all times of the day. The Grand Cafe's ambience and breakfast are somethi - Alan

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the Grand. We got a superior room at a special discounted rate on the Rica web site. The room was not huge but was definitely of a luxury level (with an extremely comfortable bed) in perfect condition with a very nice bathroom. It has the best possible location--right in the middle of the city, a 10-15 minute walk from the train station and near other public transportation. There are very few Oslo hotels with A/C--the days we were there it was rather war - Sebastian

We stayed in a nice room that was large enough to accomodate my husband and I and our teenage son and still have enough room to lounge on the sofa or two side chairs. The room and bathroom was very nice and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was quite good, though a little too crowded on two of the three mornings we were there. We got a great room rate through the Internet, so we could not complain about the cost. We would gladly stay there again. - Michael
