“Historic building, hotel in a fantastic location. Delicious breakfast. Comfortable bedrooms.”
Location was excellent and we could walk to many of the activities/attractions we wanted to visit and/or get local transport as needed. We travelled to and from the airport by train and walked 10 minutes from Nationaltheatret, the station close to the hotel. Flytoget recommended over the cheaper commuter service as the later was very crowded. Breakfast was delicious.

“A two night break in Oslo. Karl Johan hotel proved to be a very good choice. Definite recommend.”
Helpful staff Beautiful breakfast room, good choice for breakfast Excellent location, close to transport links, close to stop for Hop-on, Hop-off bus, close to excellent restaurants, close to shops but away from Oslo’s version of Oxford Circus. Nice little park with pond and fountains across the road from the hotel. Quiet at night
