Comfort Hotel® Grand Central

Had a nice couple of days at the hotel that is located a short walk from the center of Oslo and close to the opera house and Edward Munch gallery . The hotel stands adjacent to Oslo main train station and has several restaurants close by that can be accessed without needing to venture outside. The staff were helpful and friendly and the rooms were clean. Our Bedroom was a reasonable size with a large bathroom. There was a good choice of food for breakfast. It’s a great choice for those who wish to explore the city.

The entrance to the hotel looks like a back door to the central station. No minibar. Only three hangers in the room. Very very dirty carpet. No power outlet in the bathroom. How come I after all give it two stars? It’s reasonable clean - except the carpet.

Room small, bedding missing and door wouldn't lock. Big queues for lifts. Breakfast very good and staff helpful. Paying a lot for good location but not sure justified after staying here a number of times.

First the good bit; this hotel has been built inside the old station building so you can access both the station and all the bars/ restaurants under of old station canopy without having to brave the sub-zero temperatures of a February evening. but though clean and comfortable, my room was definitely at the budget end of the scale, though this was not reflected in the price. It offered little in the way of amenities - not even a kettle to make myself a hot drink.

We were arriving quite late. This hotel is very practically located when you are arriving by train from the airport. The decor is modern although the building is historical. I made the booking using my Nordic Choice points. The price for a standard room was 15.000 points. Just before leaving Finland, I noticed from the app that because of my Nordic Choice Platinum status, we have got an upgrade to Suite #212 which is the Rolling Stones Suite. The money rate for the suite would have been 350 euros. Six years ago, we stayed in Suite #312 located above Suite #212. We liked more the very black decor of Suite #212 than the industrial decor of Suite #312. The rooms are not very well equipped. No bathrobes, minibar, or coffee-making facilities even in the suites. This time there were two drinking glasses instead of plastic cups. The breakfast was very good. Also, the service at the reception was friendly and efficient. You could buy drinks from the reception.
