Oslo hotels near Slottsparken

Pros: Good location, nice bathroom, comfortable bed. But all in all too small and dark and heavy air and energy in the room to be comfortable. When we switched hotel after one night here, everything felt much better at the hotel we went to after this one.

Cons: Not clean at all. Really heavy air in 2 of the rooms we saw before we got a better one. Were shipped between rooms. Rooms are really dark and not airy and nice like before the renovation.

Pros: Design and speakers in the bathroom.

Cons: No complementary things except coffee.

Pros: Love there everytime I visit the hotel.its All night standard

Cons: Facilities

Cons: Long line ups for food, no room service but First travel after lock down

Pros: The breakfast was incredible - such a selection of delicious food! Once we upgraded to a bigger room, we were happy with it and the reception area was beautiful. The location was so central - overall we loved it.

Cons: I tried to find the hotel email address so I didn't need to include this on a tripadvisor review, but I couldn't find one. As our flight on the final morning was super early and we had enquired about transport to the airport, the lady working on the reception said that we could avail of a basic breakfast beside the reception area before we left. This was a very kind suggestion, however, there was clearly a lack of communication between staff members which left us very embarrassed. When we checked out, the man who was on reception said that the breakfast was 'only for cabin crew staff' but he would let us have some. He came over a couple of times and asked 'is there even any food left?' which made us feel very uncomfortable. I thought this was quite unfair considering we had been told we could avail of this breakfast (which we had paid for) the previous evening - it is either we're allowed it or we aren't but don't make us feel guilty about it. Clearer communication between staff needed please!

Pros: Clean, comfortable, quiet room. Breakfast provided

Cons: Somewhat generic construction. Little atmosphere

Pros: The staff was truly amazing and saved the day every time, despite a long range of bad experiences related to everything from cleanliness to food served. The staff of the hotel will really do everything to help you enjoy your stay - sad they have such bad tools.

Cons: It's a rather impressive and strange that there are so many bad things to say about a hotel located in the core of downtown Oslo, possessing a great staff and recently had a facelift (including name-change), but lets begin - The three worst things: 1. The cleanliness was horrible and despite my clear expectation that the cleaning would be more then excellent due to the Corona-crisis, the first thing I found in my room was a huge hairball on the floor, and investigating closer the cleaning was in general poor. 2. The media system they had (Otrum) is so old fashion that you don't know if you should cry or laugh. I ended up doing both, and used my iPad rather then their TV in the evenings. 3. The food was extreamly disappointing. Due to the extraordinary situation I did not expect a huge variety when getting the breakfast, but they could have done soooo much better. Even my kids get better daily school meals through the homemade packed lunch. When I asked for salt and pepper to the boiled (but cold) egg I got the answer was "sorry, we can not help you with that". Well, well, well...

Pros: I loved the hotel.

Cons: Me and my girlfriend were celebrating her birthday, so I booked a table at the restaurant. It was without doubt the worst service we have ever experienced, and the burger I ordered tasted like sh!$%#(/%t... We were so dissapointed and it kind of ruined the night.

Pros: Rich breackfast Friendly staff Central

Cons: Can not set the heating, Small room, don't have even wardrobe.

Pros: Hotel was neat and tidy... Staff were friendly Great stay thank you guys

Pros: Good location

Cons: Not a good pressure in shower. Ok breakfast but not too much to choose from. No control to the tv in my room so had to go to the tv to find a button behind it. Only stayed from 9:45 pm to 7am so didn’t bother to inform but doing now

Pros: We liked this place. Really good location, perfect price. Comfortable bad :) a good matpakke for breakfast :)

Pros: Perfect location in the heart of Oslo - walking distance to all most important places in the city center. Very good breakfast with large selection of products. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons: Walls in the rooms are quite thin so we could hear TV planing in the other room. Apart from that everything was ok!

Pros: Breakfast is great we have everythng we need, enough to satisfy us in the morning they have differently variety of cheese and ham and fruits its not super buffet kind but were happy about it. Location is fantastic very close to tram ovre station and its 3 stops goin to terminal ...there coffee shops nearby and some restaurants. Room was ok its clean and size of toilet is very good .

Cons: The hotel is Fantastic no bad comments about it they just need to add little stuff in the room which probably some will agree on like a hair dryer and a coffee pot.

Pros: Location/ staff/ helpfulness

Pros: Loved it

Pros: The location of the hotel was perfect for us, centrally located and close to the train. The staff was pleasant and helpful with restaurant recommendations and places to go. Buffet breakfast was excellent, good variety and quality of food.

Pros: Right from the beginning, the staff was really very helpful, and polite to us. The room 614 was a wonderful Junior Suite and it was already ready with 2 rollaway beds for our 2 kids. It had 2 TVs, a walk-in closet, and views of the inner courtyard. They have an amazing gym, great for bodybuilders, and also a nice spa and pool. It was within 5-15 minutes walking distance to every place we wanted to see in Oslo.

Pros: A marvelous authentic hotel with an extremely friendly and helpful staff. The grand entrance already predicts an unforgettable stylish, relaxing and accommondated stay.

Cons: We are frequent travelers who enjoy a certain high standard of hospitality and accommodation and Grand hotel managed and met all our demands so no dislikes at all.

Pros: the Grand Hotel Oslo is the jewel of the city. staff at the reception was very attentive and well spoken room very clean and cozy the breakfast was the best ever compared with most of the hotels of the same category! definitely one of the best hotels around the world.

Cons: everything was top notch, nothing to dislike! this hotel sums up everything a hotel is supposed to achieve, perfection. excellence in every thing well done!

Pros: The staff was superb. Many thanks to Juoma at the concierge and Marietta/Martina at front desk. They went the extra mile to make us feel at home. The folks at breakfast were also very friendly. It’s the excellent staff that is the soul behind this iconic hotel. The location was also very central. We stayed a total of 6 nights over a 2-week period. We would stay here again.

Cons: The rooms were smaller than we expected, but otherwise well appointed. Very clean toilets.

Pros: Overall a great location , hotel , and staff.

Cons: The check in was significantly delayed, compared to published check in times, due to room not be ready (c. 2 hours). The hotel did provide complementary drinks however.

Pros: central location, good breakfast

Cons: old furniture, small room

Pros: Lovely experience overall, in a thoughtfully designed and sparkling clean room. Major plus is the fantastic sauna with harbor view due to its glass walls. There's also a nice but very narrow pool (really best for one lap swimmer at a time).

Cons: Here's the elevator issue: If user forgets to swipe card first, response SHOULD be an error message such as Please swipe card. Instead, response is that system sends user to an elevator, elevator opens, then nothing happens! Needs a fix ASAP.

Pros: great location and facilities

Cons: they forgot to clean our room

Pros: Great location right next to the rail station. Very nice hotel and room. Excellent breakfast.

Cons: No power plugs near the bed. Bed only had bedding for 1 person, even through we specified 2 at reservation and check-in.

Pros: It was clean

Cons: The hotel was very basic. We had stayed in a Thon hotel for two nights prior and this was much nicer. Breakfast had more choice and tv had more channels. The swimming pool is on a different floor to changing rooms so had to walk in a towel down some stairs. Outside lift was not working which my daughter wanted to use. Then found out lift was working but not for hotel guests.

Pros: Close proximity to train station and airport Right in the center city

Cons: very busy lobby and breakfast area

Pros: Good food Location Great view Fast service...minus the bar.

Cons: Bathrooms a bit dated. Wifi was spotty. Business center computers so old they weren't comparable with any up-to-date programs, so I was not able to conduct business as I wished.

Pros: Outside Main station in Oslo. Beautiful large airy rooms. Staff lovely, great variety at breakfast. Good value for money.

Cons: All good.

Pros: Great design and amenities, helpful staff (especially front desk and restaurant), amazing food and taste of Norway in restaurant. Good leisure facilities. Surprise upgrade to a business room for being a return traveller. Fantastic location.

Cons: Housekeeping in the room. Found a little brown "surprise" in the toilet when first arrived and spotted some black residue coming off of the plug in the bath

Pros: Arrived late, got bags and extra bed delivered. Breakfast room service - awesome meal! Great location

Cons: Strange drunk or druggie people outside hotel between hotel and train station. More than other EU capitols, all begging for money.

Pros: Hotel itself and our room was very nice! Very clean and good views from 28th floor. Also elevators were super fast so you didn't have to wait long to get up to your room. Very near to the centre. Excellent breakfast!!

Cons: We had little bit more exprectations for the sauna and pool area. Kind a wanted to enjoy it together with my boyfriend, but saunas were separately and no jacuzzy, only pool. A lot of kids were playing there, so perfect for kids to have fun. Otherwise everything else was nice :)

Pros: When purchasing, it felt like a nice hotel we were splurging for. When we got there, we realized it was anything but.

Cons: The area the hotel is located seemed like the shadiest part of town. I know this because I walked 15 miles the best day around the city and the only place that felt sketchy to me was outside and around the radisson plaza.

Pros: the receptionist was truly outstanding at her job, the bed was the most comfortable i have ever experienced EVER. the views from the rooftop bar is breath taking and its location is perfect for exploring the city.

Cons: i couldn't stay longer is the only issue i had.

Pros: Really lovely and helpful staff! Amazing breakfast too.

Cons: Was rushed out of the breakfast hall before it was officially closed. Also no mugs in the rooms, although there's a kettle.

Pros: Stig the Receptionist at front desk who tried to rectify the problems with our rooms

Cons: My wife and I arrived on the 17th August 2015, and on attempting to check-in we were told the "computer system" was not working and therefore we we not able to check in. We were told to either wait (they could not provide an estimate on how long it would take). After a 15-min wait we were checked in "manually". As an American Carlson member, I presented my Club Carlson Gold card, but it wasn't accepted because my trip was booked through Kayak! Nevertheless after a short delay we were in our room. Immediately we noticed that the carpet in the room was dirty, and there were 2-single beds (as opposed to a double as we booked) Credit to the front desk staff who promptly reassigned us to a "newly refurbished" room. The room was a marked improvement over the last, and we happily settled in; unpacking our suitcases and preparing for an afternoon of sightseeing. On return in the evening, we prepared for the night and around 20:00 we tried to lock the door. The door lock did not work. A call to the front desk and a couple of minutes later someone from maintenance was at our door. I explained that the door wouldn't lock from the inside and he insisted that the lock was working. I was a bit taken back by his curt response, but nevertheless invited him to try. What followed next had me flabbergasted! The maintenance employee closed the door, and using his body weight proceeded to to yank on the door handle until he could engage the lock. Curtly he replied, "There it is locked". I attempted to unlock door by turning the lock itself and when I couldn't he demonstrated how to unlock the door. Standing on his toes and again using all his body weight he pressed down on the door handle until the lock disengaged. Again the curt response, "There it is unlocked". I couldn't believe it! Visibility annoyed at this point, when I pointed out that locking the door in such a manner would be a fire hazard (not to mention my wife will never be able to unlock the door if I locked it), he suggested that I actually didn't need to lock the door as no one from the outside could get in without a key. In response I stated that any member of staff could enter if the door was unlocked, to which he acknowledged was true and said I could either call the front desk to arrange a new room, lock the door as he demonstrated, or leave the door unlocked; but there was nothing he could do to fix the lock. Another call to the front desk and we were offered a room on the 20th floor. So after repacking we moved to our 3-room for the day. From then on the only issues we faced were with our room keys. Every time we left our room, the room key would not let us back in. So we had to make our way to the front desk where they would make a new key. Every time without fail!
