The hotel was nice enough. Not luxurious in any way, but new, clean and tidy. Ideal location. + Plus Location, gym, breakfast, large plasma screen TV in the room, several channels-although mostly Norwegian, the program's are subtitled rather than dubbed, therefore perfect for anyone understanding English. Environmentally conscious. Free WiFi, free coffee/tea in reception, friendly and helpful staff. - minus... More

Dear Ayana B, Thank you for staying with us and sharing your experience. Our concept and philosophy is that you should not have to pay for something you do not use, so you do not have a higher price because some will have mini chocolate and small bottles of wine in the room. We have for an example a well... More

This hotel is effectively inside Oslo's Grand Central station although once inside the hotel you would have no idea. Whilst the accommodation is functional rather than luxurious the hotel's location, room sizes and excellent breakfast more than make up. All the main sights are within walking distance and many of the rooms over look the new opera house and the... More

Stayed here at the beginning of my trip to Oslo. Hotel was spotless, I had everything I needed, lovely room, great location next to main sights and places. Oslo was an expensive city but I believe Comfort hotel is great value for what you get. Breakfast was delicious too. I would definitely return.

After arriving into the central station via the airport express train, I ran into some trouble finding the hotel. It's really easy to make a wrong turn in Oslo if you don't really have a sense of the place (which I didn't.) After a few rounds I finally saw the pink sign out of the corner of my eye hiding...

This middle class hotel is situated in the old Eastern railway station of Oslo. The rooms are former offices of the railway building. In fact, the reception desk is right into the old ticket hall, where people until the late 1980's were lining up for tickets to, among others, the crowded Easter traffic to the Norwegian mountain areas. The famous... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
What is your time worth? If you know the answer, you'll choose Comfort Hotel Grand Central. We are Oslo's most centrally located hotel. Just three minutes to the airport express – and three minutes to Oslo's main shopping district.We are challenging the traditional model for a business hotel. Ourlocation is outstanding, our cutting-edge facilities are housed in an historic railway building and our prices are excellent.Once in your room the only sound you will hear will be the faint hum of the airconditioning. We have 170 rooms. And 113 of these are unique. Many enjoy views of the opera house or Oslo's bustling main shopping district. Some are inspired by the compact studio apartments of Brooklyn, while others have protected historical significance and many a story to tell. (Norway's first railway track started right at this station.) Interior designer Lars Helling describes the look he has created as "industrial shabby chic". What's more, you can sleep in what used to be the King's private waiting room. This suite was created under the supervision of Norway's Directorate for CulturalHeritage. The King's suite is one of our most popular, but we have plenty of others. You can be sure of finding a room you'll love. (Call us and we'll find you a great room.)We'll treat you to a free breakfast in our restaurant where you can enjoy our homemade strawberry jam and fresh bread. The man in charge of our restaurant is celebrity chef Ole Johnny Eikefjord, of Eik Annen Etage fame. He dishes up what may be the best bolognese in Oslo – andgives you the right Barbera to go with it. And if you're only after a quick business lunch, you are welcome to order a half portion. But if you have more time, feel free to compose your own three-course menu.How about starting with tomato and mozzarella, moving on to veal filet, and then finishing with tiramisu or pannacotta? Enjoy the food while you imagine the bustling railway concourse in 1854: travelers hugging their loved ones, children smiling and laughing from the trainwindows, and steam trains snorting into life.Whether it's early in the morning or later in the day, many of our guests enjoy working out. Our training suite is compact, but very well equipped. And it's open 24/7,so you can go at it whenever you like.We tell our guests that they save an hour by staying so close to the airport express. That's an hour you can spend however you like. A workout? A beer with an old friend? Or perhaps you'll make an earlier plane so that you can kiss your children goodnight. It's up to you.If you are looking for elegant and efficient hotel, Comfort Hotel Grand Central is the easy choice. ... more   less
