“Lovely room, friendly staff. Restaurants timing annoying.”
The restaurant being closed on Sunday after 4pm and the restaurant being busy with a large group. I had to go somewhere else.

“Worst hotel experience I have had in decades of international travel.”
The physical condition of the hotel is far below what one would expect from a five-star property. The facilities are visibly worn out, tired, and in need of substantial renovation. Based solely on its condition and level of maintenance, I would struggle to justify even a three-star rating, let alone the five-star classification it currently holds. A hotel may face operational difficulties, but there is no excuse for delivering an unclean room, providing no housekeeping for four days, maintaining facilities in such poor condition, and then treating paying guests with disrespect when they seek clarification about charges. This hotel failed in the most basic aspects of hospitality: cleanliness, service, transparency, and guest relations. I cannot recommend it and would certainly never stay here again.

“A very grand hotel!”
I had decided to go for a bit of luxury after the long haul from Australia! I really enjoyed my stay. Very centrally placed- easy access to everywhere. The Royal Palace parklands were my favourite. Really beautiful. The Grand Hotel is expensive, so it depends on what your priorities are. I loved it. Unfortunately the strike affecting hotels across Norway meant that some facilities were not available. But that didn't worry me. Friendly, helpful staff and the decor is superb. Breakfast awesome too!

“It was unacceptable that my booking was honoured.”
Didn’t have a chance. Because of the strike I couldn’t stay there. They sent to a very boring hotel instead.
