Stayed here during a sales conference. The hotel is located on Oslo's main street close to the Royal Palace. The rooms are large, roomy and comfortable. Free wi-fi throughout the hotel is an added bonus. The metro and train station are closeby and thus make traveling a breeze. The staff is friendly and warm. The breakfast in the morning was... More

During our trip throughout Norway, Oslo was our first stop. We stayed in the Karl Johann Hotel and every single minute of our stay was perfect. When we arrived at the front-desk a very helpful lady told us everything we should know about the hotel and the city of Oslo. The hotel itself is very stylish in a classic way.... More

Staff: Outstanding; helpful, sincere, knowledgeable, warm, efficient. Room: Booked a suite under the OsloPass scheme, and for once in my life the picture matched the room. It. Was. Huge. Even by US standards. Room decor was dated... More

Fairly standard three star hotel. Room decent size and TV worked no problem. Breakfast ok. Staff were good and generally helpful Location could not be faulted. Oslo is a relatively small centre and this location was great for walking around. 5 mins to National Gallery, 10 mins walk to Royal Palace; 20 mins walk to Opera House Major problem -... More

A beautiful hotel in the center of the City very close to the Parliament- You can reach by feet the main part of Oslo attractions. It is also close to the Hard Rock cafè and to many other hot-spots for the nightlife. Maybe the rooms are too little, but extremely clean and nice. The price is absolutely competitive. Continental breakfast... More

I stayed here one night.The location is great and bang in the middle of the shopping district and easy to walk to from the station. However the single rooms were tiny and not enough room to work at the desk. They were helpful about an upgrade, but in the second room the TV was completely fuzzy and impossible to watch.... More

The day before we arrived at The Best Western hotel I was looking on Trip Advisor and saw in several reviews that some of the rooms had balconies. So I sent an E-Mail off to them asking if we could have a balcony if there were any available. When we arrived we not only got a balcony but a whole... More

Satyed there one Friday night. Unfortulately the rooms on the second floor are right above a Disco! Loud music until 2 am! The friendly staff gave me a new room, but still on the same floor so the music was even louder in that room. Besides that the rooms are not in the best condition. The breakfast was good, but...

If you like to be in the middle of everything, this small, intimate and unassuming hotel is your place. All the rest is pretty mediocre. One of the receptionists was superb, the other a bit rude. Rooms are small, and although clean, carpets were a bit dirty. it was also very noisy and the internet never worked. Breakfast is convenient.... More
