Karl Johans Hotel is comfortable and the best is the location where the Christmas market is in front of the hotel during winter.

Awesome location. It is close to everything, shopping, food, and train station. Lively area but quiet at the same time. The staff were friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast at the hotel was amazing! I would stay there again.

We arrived Oslo on Dec. 25 by train, walkable from the Central station. The Christmas market at Karl Johan Gate was right outside the hotel. Great vibe. Hotel facilities are excellent and the included breakfast was awesome. Out family had a wonderful one night stay.
