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

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.

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.

Fabulous
A great stay...excellent location. Lovely and clean and attention to detail. The breakfast was fabulous..lots of choice for all diets. The staff were really nice, friendly and professional. The beds were comfy too and great showers. The only thing i didnt especially like was the dark painted room! But maybe as i chose a quiet back room it felt dark. Though the sun came through in the mirnings!,

We arrived Oslo on Dec. 25 by train, walkable from the Central station. The Christmas market at Karl Johan Gate was right outside the hotel. Great vibe. Hotel facilities are excellent and the included breakfast was awesome. Out family had a wonderful one night stay.
