Dining

Madu
The name of the concept refers both to the raw cold climate we have here in the North, and secondly it refers to the fact that the majority of the food is served raw, close to raw or prepared at low temperatures; which is done in order to enhance and retain the quality of the raw materials. The concept modernizes classical Scandinavian cuisine. Utilizing old cooking methods such as smoking, curing, pickling are mixed with newer ones, such as sweeping, halstring and carving. Raw materials are as much as possible locally produced and organic, principally fish and shellfish and all ingredients closely follow the seasons. Come and try our new innovative concept at MADU First Hotel Grims Grenka.
Ghost Lounge
Ghost Lounge is located on the ground floor and is our exclusive lounge adjacent to the restaurant. This lounge is for people seeking luxurious surroundings combined with organic coctails and great music.
Q Lounge
Q Lounge is located on the roof top and is a non-stop destination for Champagne and cocktails during the summertime. Here you can enjoy the fantastic view of Oslos urban jungle and lay on our luxurious puffy pillows. Our house Mixologist will stimulate your senses with his designer cocktails.

A 4 star rather than 5 star hotel.

A 4 star rather than 5 star hotel. Comfortable bed. Good location. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. The shower is small but the same as a usual size in a Japanese hotel room.

Overrated but the breakfast is good

Hotel is understaffed (grossly understaffed on Sunday--but this could be an Oslo problem); and in disrepair (probably related to the staffing). But the breakfast is good and at the price I paid can't complain too much...

Keep the lights low and it looks good...

internet didnt work 80% of the time, no towel holders after using towel, paint on wall really done fast and makeshift... door was broken into and had a taped piece of paper over breakage.. that looked really ghetto and embarrassed me... the hotel is understaffed, front desk understaffed. the front desk phone the girl has to hold the coard in the phone otherwise the connection is lost... really really makeshift. if you need internet, dont stay here.. i had to wait for 2 other people complaining about it first before i could get help.. and then it still didnt work. not a nice way to spend a sat night.
