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.

This is a great hotel. Ideally placed in the main part of Oslo, very clean with friendly and attentive staff. We had a standard room for our stay and my one and only issue is that the room was tiny. Other than that this hotel is excellent.
