Best location in Oslo. Walking distance to the shopping area and Aker Brygge and restaurants around. Good breakfast and very comfortable bed. Definitely will choose Karl Johan when I visit Oslo next time.

We had a lovely stay at the Karl Johan Hotel. We were only there 2 nights, and had to leave really early the last morning to catch our flight, so only had the opportunity to experience the breakfast one morning. Pros: - Centrally located between the castle and Oslo's Central Station. - You are in the middle of everything going on (and trust me, there was A LOT going on on a sunny Saturday in June!). - Because you are in the middle of everything, it is very walkable. - The rooms were really comfortable - Beds, air conditioning, blackout drapes. - Large selection of foods at the breakfast buffet. - Love, love, love that every hotel we stayed in in Norway had a card slot when you entered your room to activate the electricity in the room (the only challenge is when you want to charge a device, like a Kindle, when you are out and about). Cons: - We were on the second floor and there was A LOT going on in the park across from the hotel. It was quite noisy, primarily the amplified music. - Walking from Central Station to the hotel only took about 12 minutes, but there were a lot of cobblestones and uneven surfaces to negotiate (we had 3 rolling bags). While it shouldn't be a deterrent to anyone, people should be prepared. We didn't look into a taxi/uber or any other public transportation to get us closer, but I'm sure there are options.

The staff were welcoming and helpful. Despite the fact that there was a general strike of hotel workers, those on duty were seen to ensure that the high standard of service was maintained, with rooms clean, tidy and ready for guests. The breakfast was excellent with the selection one of the best we have experienced.

I had been recommended this hotel for our 2 night stay in Oslo. The location is superb. The hotel is nice, in a lovely building. The rooms are on the small side, with difficult access into the bathroom. The beds were very comfortable with lovely bedding. However, the towels were simply awful. They are very small and not pleasant to use, being polyester and cotton - and I am a small person. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had in a hotel. I would recommend it. Please note that there seems to be strike of housekeeping going on. I am not sure if this is throughout Oslo, or just this hotel. We were not forewarned. However, it did not affect us. The staff we met were lovely.

It was a good stay overall. The room was nice and it was quiet. No functioning air and the windows barely opened so it was hot at night and that wasn’t ideal. The bathroom is tiny as were the shower towels. The breakfast is great! So some positives and negatives. It’s also in a great location!

This hotel is in an excellent location- I walked everywhere from here. There was a strike so no housekeeping unless you asked for it. The front desk staff were so nice but could have been better informed as concierges. The breakfast is a huge and wonderful buffet and certainly a good reason to stay here. I’d stay at this hotel again.
