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.
Terry, 3-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!
Anne, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

No sleep until after 3am on a Saturday when the club next door finally closed, despite the best earplugs
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Great location however the hotel was not worth the price. Didn't even have a proper mattress just a thin mattress topper. Was not comfortable at all. No drinks in the mini bar fridge, not even water. Had to carry 2x 30kg suitcases up stairs as lift didn't go all the way to our room. Not worth the price in my opinion
