I wanted to share our positive experience from our recent stay at the Karl Johan Hotel. The central location was fantastic, and we were very impressed with the modern and clean rooms. We also thoroughly enjoyed the daily breakfast buffet, which was excellent. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely choose to stay here again in the future.

Great location - in the centre of everything...and the bed was super comfy. My only negatives would be no robes and a miniscule in-room safe, which barely fit my iPad mini (standing on its side as it was slightly too wide and wouldn't allow the safe to lock), passport and a few smaller items. I resorted to locking my laptop in my suitcase when going out, which obviously is not as secure, and may be annoying for business travellers. Otherwise, everything was great.
