Comfort Hotel Grand Central

the property is one with absolutely zero amenities and atmosphere. Under the pretense of environmental friendly the room is worse than a 2 star property in the USA. Rooms are cleaned once every 4!!!!! days unless you ask for it. The basic room is a pigeon hole and the $300 upgrade fee I paid got me a handicap room for crying out loud. Unless you are in to all this environmental stuff and you want a room with zero personality please do not stay here. On a positive note it is connected to the Oslo Central Station and transport to and from the airport is convenient and reasonable compared to a taxi ride that will set you US$175 back.

I have 1.4 million air miles behind me, so I have stayed in many hotels. This was one of the best experiences I have had. In addition to being extremely convenient for transportation, tourist sites, and restaurants, this hotel had: 1) Fantastic employees who were always cheerful and very helpful with suggestions and solutions to travel issues; 2) Very comfortable rooms with some interesting art work and hot showers with great water pressure. They were also incredibly quiet. 3) A filling breakfast buffet. I have only seen one better in my travels. I had only two "issues." First, the bathroom lights were activated by motion detectors. Mostly they worked, sometimes they did not. But that is so trivial. Second, it was a challenge to find, as it sits inside a large building attached to the train station. From within the station, follow the signs for Tourist Information. The hotel doorway is on the opposite wall from that center, behind the small Italian restaurant. Or go outside to the south side (fjord side) of the building and look for the hotel's sign.

Nice second stay, great location for City and Station
