Comfort Hotel® Grand Central

We stayed in the Grand Central for a night on our way to Bergen by train. It is part of a huge building housing a food court/ fancy restaurants and some shops. The staff are friendly but you hardly meet any of them. The reception area is crowded with uncoordinated stuff/ furniture and people are constantly using it as a thoroughfare. The rooms are spotlessly clean, with quirky furniture but a bit small. Ours had a tiny level difference step in the middle. The window views are gorgeous if you have an outside view. The corridors can be brightened up a bit and the recessed door entries can have more light. The restaurant is also crowded when it’s a capacity. The breakfast spread is good and wholesome but nothing fancy. The best part is its location and you can just cross over to the railway station in minutes, not needing to get outside at all. And it is a stones throw from the main attractions and Karl Johan’s Street.

We tried to change reservation dates due to the travel restrictions but the hotel was not interested about the situation and referred only to their cancellation policies. We even offered to pay the difference between the price of our current booking and the price of the new booking. We definitely will not be staying in this or any other hotels of this company.

Excellent location, spotlessly clean, friendly helpful staff. Eco friendly hotel right in railway station, a bit difficult to find until you know where it is, it’s opposite the tourist information centre, Typical hotel breakfast a bit on the luke warm side but plenty of choice. Ideal for a long weekend stay

Location first class, easy to find when arriving by train from airport. Reception staff Per was a delightful and friendly young man. The breakfast was superb together with the kitchen staff. Would thoroughly recommend.

We chose this hotel because of its location, which is fantastic. Central location next to the train station and trams The hotel reception is bright and airy, but the rest of the place is dark and unwelcoming, decorated in dark dull colours with low lighting (and not the atmospheric kind). I felt uncomfortable walking around the hotel corridors on my own at night. Our room was small (which we knew when we booked and wasn't a problem) but the dark decor, windows overlooking dark walls and the lack of any bright lighting made it feel like a prison cell. We also had trouble locking our door when leaving the room... When we asked for help, we were told it was automatic... But it could be up to a minute before the door locked! Breakfast was good, but for me the lack of a toaster is a big omission (but probably not important to most guests)
