Great breakfast. We are two traveling, so upgraded to one double and one sofa bed. Upon checking in, the sofa bed is already made.

Wilma, United States of America

Great staff. Great location reasonable price. Breakfast was very good

John, United States of America

The location of the hotel is excellent - very central and close to everything in Oslo, including the train station (though I think it's a bit of a far walk with luggage and recommend taking the metro from the train station one stop to Stortinget, which is right by the hotel). The breakfast was good and had a number of different hot and cold options. On the last day, I had an early train and couldn't go to breakfast and the hotel kindly made me a sandwich that was waiting when I checked out, which I really appreciated.

Nicole, United States of America

Easy access to major landmarks & restaurants. The breakfast had so many options and was delicious.

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 mi from Oslo Central Station. It offers free WiFi, along with modern rooms that have LED TVs with USB connectivity.

Decorated in bright colors, 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 2,300 feet away, while Aker Brygge and Akershus Fortress are within 10 minutes' walk.

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

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

The room was far too small, no desk facilities, no chair and so little space at the end of the bed that it was practically impossible to get past, to open and close the curtains.
Breakfast was good. Staff are a credit to the hotel.

Our room was too hot at night. We turned down the heat, but it was still too hot. So, we opened the window and that let in a lot of street noise.
Breakfast was excellent.

The main entrance has only stairs, which is quite difficult to go up and down with a buggy. We asked twice if there is any other way to enter with a buggy and they said no. In the very last day we asked again and the new receptionist said we could use another path (for disabled people). It would have been much nicer to know that before!
Nice place, nice de city center. They were very kind provinding 2 cribs for our kids. Room is good and breakfast as well.
