What a great property directly in front of the Christmas markets! Andres and the staff were super helpful and the breakfast is impeccable!! Would highly recommend to stay here. I would not recommend having a car as Oslo is a walkable city and not designed for cars. Train from the airport is the cheapest and most convenient recommendation. Only a 10-min walk to the hotel.

Karl Johan is a fantastic option for a stay in Oslo. The biggest pros: the central location, within walking distance to everything; the large, fresh breakfast selection; and the spacious rooms. We were surprised by the room size, especially compared to other European-style hotels—they’re quite large and overlook the street. I had read a few complaints about loud music, but we didn’t experience anything like that; it was generally quiet, even on the weekend. The building has a charming old-world style, and we really had no complaints. It felt like great value for the cost for our group, spread across three different rooms.

Great location - if you don’t have a car. Nearby parking is extremely $$. Staff is competent & professional but not very friendly. Do not go beyond basic service. Breakfast is excellent with many well presented prices. Very small bathroom & no robes or slippers.

The hotel is fantastic and in a wonderful location near so many tourist attractions. Breakfast was wonderful, lots of choice and high quality produce. Receptionist staffare incredibly helpful. Housekeeping team wonderful, it was so nice to goto a hotel where all the staff are happy which speaks volumes for the management team.
