Stay in the heart of Oslo

Centrally, yet quietly set just a 1-minute walk from the main shopping street Karl Johans Gate, this hotel is 0.6 miles from Oslo Central Station. It offers free WiFi, along with modern rooms that have LED TVs with USB connectivity.

Decorated in bright colours, all rooms at Scandic Karl Johan include a safety deposit box and smart, under-bed storage.

An organic, breakfast buffet is served daily. There is also a small shop onsite, as well as a lounge bar and bicycle rental.

Area attractions include the Royal Palace which is 750 yards away, while Aker Brygge and Akershus Fortress are within 10 minutes' walk.

This is our guests' favourite part of Oslo, according to independent reviews.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
