You couldn't ask for a better location in Oslo than the Karl Johan Hotel. It's right on the main street and within close walking distance to everything. The hotel is slightly dated, but if you're here to tour and sight see, you probably won't spend much time there anyway. It's clean, the staff are kind and helpful, and the breakfast... More

Very nice historic hotel in Oslo. With that in mind the rooms are bit small and really small bathrooms. I would recommend this hotel for short stay if you have children. We traveled with our son and managed fine for a weekend. Nice shops and restaurants just outside the hotel. Nice breakfast buffet at the hotel in the mornings.

We recently stayed here and we were lucky to be upgraded into a suite, probably as we were travelling with children off season. It is a hotel in a great location and though a little shabby in the corners you can feel the sense of history about the place, beautiful high ceilings and period features throughout. Yes, it could do... More

The hotel is very centrally located for exploring. Shops, bars and restaurants nearby, train station across the road and palace a few minutes walk. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was also good. Rooms at the front of the hotel can be quite noisy at the weekends. A good choice to explore from.

Placed at the middle of the main street in Oslo, but affordable and pleasant hotel. Inwardly placed rooms are not affected at all by the busy Carl Johan street. This is a hotel which can be recommended.

The best feature is the location, right on the main street "Karl Johans Gate" between the parliament and the royal palace. Convenient for visiting the city. The "National Theater" train/metro station is very near, as well as bus and tram stops. Also near to the tourist port and Aker Brygge. On the same block as the hotel there is a... More

This is a good Hotel and the location is perfect. Most tourist attractions in a walking distance (we even walked to Vigeland Park ) and Restaurants, Museums, Shops just minutes away from the Hotel.
