Great stay overall!
Perfect location, amazing breakfast, but rooms a bit small so consider taking premium rooms for space.

Great pick in Oslo
Always a pleasure staying at this centrally located hotel where they have an excellent breakfast included

Karl Johans Hotel is comfortable and the best is the location where the Christmas market is in front of the hotel during winter.

Karl Johan
Perfect location close to restaurants, shopping, castle and other landmarks, clean and pretty rooms. We had a bigger room that was spacious. Breakfast was great in a beautiful space.
Daniella, 1-night trip

Great business stay
I now stay fairly regularly at the Karl Johan for work, the rooms are spacious enough and have good amenities (iron, ironing board, good shower) and the breakfast is always fantastic. The gym facilities are also in good condition and it is a good space to use.
David J, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

So convenient to everything - the airport train, attractions, public transportation, etc. The room was clean and modern. Breakfast was extraordinary-they even had a fresh mint plant and kitchen shears to clip off a bit for your tea.

Phenomenal breakfast, phenomenal soaps that smell intensely of christmas
Claire, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was easy to get to everything we needed and Vinterland was right outside in the park — dozens of shops with waffles, crepes, gyros, a Ferris wheel, more rides and ice skating. Plus the staff were always helpful, even at 4:30am.
Brian, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay was overall good. They charge extra fee for more than one person in the room which is not charged by hotels.com so a surprise when you get there!

Bom porém sem serviço satisfatório
O quarto não tem nem telefone para se comunicar com a recepção. Não existe serviço de quarto e nem meio de comunicação com os funcionários. Não tem nem água para beber no quarto. Qualquer lanche ou comida durante o dia ou a noite, tem já pedir de fora ou comprar fora e trazer pro hotel. Não pensei ter essas experiências num hotel dessa qualidade e valor de diária
