Oslo hotels near Karl Johans gate

Cons: Somewhat generic construction. Little atmosphere

Pros: Amazing breakfast, great staff, the room was small but comfortable!

Cons: Bed was a bit too soft, it was hard to turnaround :)

Pros: The property location near the train and not far from the the main city was great. In addition it has one of the nicest buffet breakfasts I’ve had in travelling to over 20 countries and staying at many hotels.

Cons: The room size was a little small and had only one chair to sit on.

Pros: Right across the street from Oslo central station. Fantastic breakfast buffet.

Pros: Great hotel with a really good breakfast.

Pros: breakfast was excellent with a huge selection beds were extremely comfortable location opposite station perfect for travel to/from oslo airport

Pros: Great location, fantastic breakfast buffet, very good price. The breakfast alone is worth the price ;-)

Pros: Fantastic beds, really nice interior and cosy spa area.

Cons: Awful ventilation system! No way of turning if off. I was recovering from a cold, and had to deal with sleeping in a constant draft, SO disappointing. What made it worse is that I didn´t sleep for two of three nights due to low vibrations from, what I was told, was the ventilation system. Felt like sleeping on top of an engine room or a laundry room. Really really uncomfortable. Did have the option to change rooms at 1 am in the night of the last night, but as I had to get up before 7am I thought I could live with it. In hindsight I should have made the effort to deal with a room change. Apart from the low vibrations on the first and last night, the ventilation system was really. So I am guessing the noise and vibrations from the ventilation system were connected. I am not sure why this was not the case for all three nights? The room I stayed on was on the 11th floor, and I guess the same experience is not applicable to all rooms / room types. I have stayed before and loved it, so the disappointment of this stay is all the worse. I was informed that they are working on adjusting the ventilation system.

Pros: I liked the standard of cleanliness. The breakfast buffet in the morning. The access to a washer AND dryer. The proximity to attractions. The outside architecture. The separate dorms. The small size of the dorms. The option to have ensuite dorms.

Cons: The stark white halls That the lights were always bright in the hallways at night when others came into the room.

Cons: The bed made squeaky sound everytime i moved.

Cons: The number of toilets could be more

Pros: Everything is clean. Recent fresh renovation has the Hostel/Hotel looking tip top from bottom to top. Beautiful lounge. Kitchen. Sheets and towels are Included. Sink in room. Lockers in room (Bring own lock). Seperate room for showers and toilets, keeping your shower low key. Everything was wonderful.

Cons: The price.

Pros: Breakfast & Location.

Cons: Bed.

Pros: Loved how the bathrooms were separate from the bedrooms, had a lot of privacy. The free breakfast was insane!! Absolutely amazing.

Cons: I was there in December & there wasn’t a very good atmosphere, but maybe that’s just because the hostel was a bit quiet that time of year, overall a very nice place.

Pros: The breakfast was phenomenal, especially considering the price of food in Oslo

Cons: The beds were very stiff, bit for the price it is perfect

Pros: Breakfast buffet is awesome!

Cons: The mattresses at least in the dorm room are kinda thin..

Pros: Centrally located and large high quality room in a lovely old building.

Cons: We had a room on the road which was a bit noisy at chucking out time so not the best nights sleep

Pros: Excellent location and facilities. Very clean

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Loved it

Pros: Hospitality

Cons: Nothing

Pros: the location of the hotel was central and the best in Oslo! Very grand hotel and you feel special when you walk in the entrance! the staff were also tremendous and very helpful

Pros: Great location. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons: I attempted to use the pool and facilities twice without success. The first time I was told I had to pay approximately €25 for the pleasure at the weekend although I was paying considerably to stay in the hotel. The second time, midweek, I was told the pool was full and it was closing early due to the public holiday. Not impressed. This is rated as a 5 star hotel. The hotel room was too hot and temperature was difficult to regulate. In the end we opened a window which was noisy.

Pros: The hotel bar, restaurant and reception were lovely

Cons: The bar closed at 11pm, the spa only let 12 people in the swimming pool which meant we weren't able to use it. We we’re told the hotel wasn’t running with full staff as it was between Xmas and New Year so we felt we didn’t get the full experience we paid for

Pros: Location and lobbies

Cons: When we arrived for breakfast there was temporarilly a very long queue and waiting time

Pros: Friendly staff and great location

Pros: Check in went smooth and polite staff, besides Karoline scamming me.

Cons: I was scammed when i was checking in. I payed 2300kr in cash for 1 night and the lady named Karoline told me that i needed to pay a 1000kr deposit since i was paying cash. When i am checking out i am informed that they never take any kind of deposit and the staff treats me like i am lying. I have been in contact with the Police and they tell me "it's a nice hotell, they don't do that there" I am absolutely shocked by the way i have been treated by the staff. I checked in with my friend and he is witness to me paying the 1000kr deposit. At this point i have been told that they will be calling Karoline(The girl who checked me in and scammed me) to ask her what has happened.

Pros: wonderful generous breakfast

Cons: milk for the coffee

Pros: Rooms were very comfortable with helpful staff. The breakfast was a nice variety of foods.

Pros: Breakfast was good

Cons: I booked the hotel because it advertised free parking. I don’t know how they can claim this with only 6 parking spots at the hotel. When we arrived to 6 occupies spots, the staff told me I could pay for parking on the street (clearly not free parking). They finally agreed to park my car in an alley and move it if needed. Instead, they woke me up early the next morning because they needed me to move my car so another guest could leave (the hotel clerk did not have his driver’s license). This happened again later in the morning... not ‘free parking’.

Pros: Location is great. Everything within walking distance, for me.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: friendly staff

Cons: hypocritical staff

Pros: Location was convenient and quiet. A bit away from the city center but easy bus/tram ride away. Breakfast was good. I found the little shower enclosure ingenious. Shows you can have a functional bathroom in about 20 square feet. Staff was helpful

Cons: Room was pretty small, but probably in line with other Scandinavian hotels.

Pros: Very nice and quiet location, Frogner-Majorstuen area, nice houses, shops & restaurants nearby, close to the center but still hidden away from the noise of the city. The breakfast is amazing, very good quality food and wide variety to choose from. The room is spacious and comfortable, big and very clean bathroom.

Cons: The only thing that was bothering was the noise from the restaurant: we had a room on the 1st floor (or ground floor called 1st floor) and right below was the restaurant. The music is not very loud but the vibrations (bass) come through quite well. Although it was supposed to close at 10PM, the music continued until after midnight. We reported it but nothing changed. This was the only aspect I did not appreciate from the hotel management.

Pros: The staff were amazing - the guy who checked us in was so friendly and helpful and was quick to recommend places and give us directions. Really well kept and presented facilities too

Cons: The only downside is that it's a little out of the city centre. However, the area is nice and quiet and has some amazing restaurants and the walk to the centre is about 15 minutes and really pleasant (through the Palace gardens)

Pros: Staff were really accommodating and friendly. We had an issue with our room not being serviced, but the staff compensated for it and made sure it was rectified. Breakfast was great, and included in our rate (a bonus given cost of food and drink in Oslo!!). Location is good, and city / tourist locations all easily accessible from the hotel. Would definitely stay again.

Cons: Nothing really.

Pros: Nice boutique hotel. Liked the hanging art. The room was big and comfortable, nicely designed and decorated. Breakfast was very good, and the restaurant was superb.

Cons: The heating system didn't work for 2 days, and it was cold, as is always in Olso in October.

Pros: The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the location perfect.

Cons: No

Pros: Chill, clean, location. Would stay again.

Cons: WiFi works in some areas.

Pros: Very clean and has heated bathroom floors

Cons: No one in staff. I am older and I understand all the new concepts but no reception is a bit different

Pros: great location, very central! a very modern hotel, good size rooms and very clean and tidy.

Cons: would have been nice to have a TV in the room but wasn’t essential. shower was a bit small too.

Pros: The property was located in the centre of Oslo with easy access to the train station. The hotel has a self check in and out which was a bonus as I was able to check in six hours before the check in time which saved me a lot of time. The rooms were big and clean, with heated floor in the bathroom which was a bonus.

Cons: The hotel doesn’t provide you with a tv or a kettle which is a shame as I think these two things are fundamental whilst in a hotel. Additionally, I stayed in this hotel for three night and not even once did the room get cleaned or did I receive clean towels!

Pros: Location

Cons: The room that I was staying in, was smelly. Had to keep the window always open during the day.

Pros: Check in and check out are easy. The location is great, especially if you are taking the train. The people who work there are willing to answer any and all questions you have. The rooms are clean and the bed is small, but comfortable.

Cons: I could hear all of the people talking outside the Escape Games that were across the street. I was on the third floor.

Pros: Simple check in, nice rooms, and great location.

Cons: Cant think of anything.

Pros: Cool view from the room I stayed at, in general a nicely planned room, some small fixes and attention to details could make it better.

Cons: I stayed at the older part of the hotel, the room was fine but the shower could be cleaner and tidier.

Pros: Very close to Oslo central station. Hotel is right next to dronnigens gate, 1 stop from Oslo s

Pros: Quality of room, very modern and new. Location is excellent. Great heating.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Cons: Naw
