Oslo hotels near Slottsparken

Pros: Location is perfect .. opp of main train station Breakfast is very good Staff is very nice and helpful

Cons: Room is very small Expensive not cheap No safety box in the room ( i noted that in all hotels in norway )

Pros: This is a perfect location, steps from the train station and the opera house and within walking district of many sights. The breakfast buffet is varied and abundant. The rooms are modern and spacious. The bar is adequate although the service was slow.

Pros: We had a corner room with very nice view of park, city & harbor. Room was spacious and very comfortable. Being right next to Central Train station made traveling from airport easy and economical. Same for catching train to Bergen. Very easy to navigate even with luggage.

Pros: Good choice at large buffet. Staff excellent in clearing plates etc promptly for return to next stage of buffet

Cons: crowded at some times, Saturday morning difficult to find seat - other days no problem

Pros: Booked at last minute due to change in plans. Hotel was very accommodating. Location is superb (about 100 yards from Oslo Central Station). Room was comfortable and had a great view. Staff even allowed us to check out late. Highly recommended.

Cons: Nothing...all was great.

Pros: Great breakfast. very good dinner. excellent choice of wines.

Pros: I usually stay in hotels close to the main railway station, especially in cities I don't visit often. This one couldn't be closer. Very comfortable, and despite the hotel being very busy I had a peaceful night. Excellent breakfast too.

Pros: The service attitude.

Pros: Location and the view

Cons: Room service

Pros: The location, next to the central train station, is very convenient. Despite being next to the train station, noise is not a problem.

Cons: Unpleasant odor in the room

Pros: Nice hotel, great location!

Pros: Great breakfast, very nice and large rooms, comfortable beds

Cons: Hallways a bit stark. No view from window

Pros: I loved the sheets! Also bought then from the gift shop.

Pros: Lobby bar is amazing & with fantastic cocktails. We enjoyed a quiet dinner, quiet room, and the relaxing spa.

Cons: Nothing. Nothing at all.

Pros: Good food, and great bed

Cons: Nothing really

Pros: The location is fantastic as it's close to all the shops, restaurants and bars. It's also close to the main touristic sites and tour bus area. Customer service was overall fantastic, and most of the staff went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. You could feel customer service was of utmost importance in this hotel, and that is what provides a 5* experience. Special thanks to Nash and Marcus who were absolutely brilliant and you could see they were passionate about their jobs. Jaume was so lovely, and Helge and Teresa were professional and empathetic when dealing with a concern of ours. Christian also helped us a lot when my husband lost his wallet in a taxi! Thanks to all! Though the room service menu was limited, the food from Palmen restaurant was really delicious. The hotel itself is indeed very "grand" and has many great facilities including a spa with a wide choice of treatments. The bed was very comfortable and shower powerful! My husband does a lot of business in Norway and we will certainly stay at the Grand Hotel every time we visit Oslo.

Cons: Though the hotel itself is grand, we felt the room was poorly thought out, and felt more like a 'show room' instead of a practical living space. There were 5 plug points by the bed but not really anywhere else. It would have been much more convenient to have them located all around the room. This meant we had to charge our laptops, phones, iron and boil the water, all in the same area. A full length mirror was only available in the bathroom, which is behind the towel shelf. It would have been better to have a full length mirror available on the back of the room door or wardrobe door. No heated mirror in the bathroom meant it steamed up and you couldn't immediately apply skincare or makeup or shave, as you'd have to wait some time for the steam to clear up. No other mirror in the room itself, so you had to rely on the bathroom's one. Though there was a kettle, there was no Nespresso machine. Peep hole too high (even though I'm 5'6") as it was clearly designed for tall Norwegians. No complimentary water bottles were provided. Storage space was very very limited, and therefore we had to keep a lot of our belongings in our suitcase or cramped in the little space they did have. On one occasion, the cleaner didn't hoover our room properly, even though we had left a tip for them. They had also thrown my cleansing cloth in with the hotel laundry and this was difficult as I couldn't get it back afterwards or buy another one in Oslo. Though customer service was overall great, our first contact with the hotel was with Odd, who considering he's Head Concierge, didn't appear empathetic at all with our concerns. With our first dialogue on the phone, he appeared disinterested, bored and answered with a lot of "um hmms" which isn't professional. Though this was a negative start to our Grand Hotel experience, luckily the remainder of staff made up for what Odd lacked in customer service.

Pros: Breakfast was good

Cons: I booked the hotel because it advertised free parking. I don’t know how they can claim this with only 6 parking spots at the hotel. When we arrived to 6 occupies spots, the staff told me I could pay for parking on the street (clearly not free parking). They finally agreed to park my car in an alley and move it if needed. Instead, they woke me up early the next morning because they needed me to move my car so another guest could leave (the hotel clerk did not have his driver’s license). This happened again later in the morning... not ‘free parking’.

Pros: Big rooms

Cons: Nobody made the beds . There didn’t come in the room . I was handed extra towels a my door and they never came back all day . Trash was not emptyed and bed was not made . I don’t expect new sheets but the bed should be made up . Is this camping ?

Pros: Value for money Away from the crowd but 4’ to tram stop, so very convenient Amazing breakfast Wonderful bed and sheets Third floor quiet and relaxing

Cons: First floor noise and music of the restaurant the whole day until midnight Cleaning people skills to be improved so that all amenities are available every day w/o asking for (towels, mats, shampoo)

Pros: Good location Friendly and help staff - at the day time Nice breakfast, but start time is at 7am might be a bit late

Cons: Strange that the parking slot is not fixed, you need to look for the free space out of the area which will be get the ticket for fine by yourself You need to disclose your personal data like email address, mobile number or Facebook account to get the WiFi connected, the hotel will not give a code, even it is included into the price we paid

Cons: Naw

Pros: Close to the city centre, modern hotel with clean and spacious rooms

Cons: Shower - in our room shower was designed in such a way that after 2-3 minutes water was almost in whole bathroom

Pros: Clean, friendly staff, great WiFi, perfect location across from train station and main tourist road (Karl Johan Gate), close to many tourist attractions, room has a minimalist desk and chair for laptop/writing/books, etc. Was satisfied with my stay - being next to the train station and main subway station is perfect for getting in and out of Oslo as well as exploring the city by public transportation (and walking everywhere by foot is easy, too).

Cons: In less expensive cities could get more for your money (but Oslo is very expensive in general). Rooms are small but not too small for those just wanting a place to sleep. Very few amenities (e.g. no daily room service except for a fee, no breakfast, etc.).

Pros: So conveniently located. We had a nice large room.

Cons: Slightly noisy from the main square outside the train station. I think the location of our room probably meant it was the probably the worst affected by this and it wouldn’t deter me from booking again if we returned.
