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.

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

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

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!
