The hotel is in the perfect location, close to the palace and the ferries and right on the main street where all the shops, restaurants and night life are. I dont know what everyone is complaining about, the hotel was fine, room was large and clean, service was fine. The breakfast was great and is open untill 10am or 11am... more

I have stayed at this hotel more than 4 times over the last few month and everytime I have been disapointed. Check-in: Bad service, they don't ask, they don't listen to what you say. Rooms: Everytime I have had to change the room (unclean, no curtains, smoke, noise, missing lights etc.) Breakfast: Okay, but they always close a part when... more

We really did great booking the Norlandia Karl Johan hotel in Oslo. It has the best location right in the main street, just a few metres to the underground and rail station (theater) and very right in the middle of the shopping area, with bars, clubs, restaurants, shops and only a short walk to the Akker Brigge (the port) where... more

Having been warned by the other reviews I came prepared with earplugs (noise from everywhere), sleep mask (drapes ripped apart), air freshener (non-smoking room is a joke) and a bottle of disinfectant (all over). For corporate travel policy reasons I was forced to stay at this place. The only positive thing is the central location. Otherwise, it's a dump. It... more

I'm not going to bother trying to explain what was wrong, just stay away. If you do go there you will regret it! more

room was small and overlooking interior courtyard which was really just an airconditioning staging area - staff was definitely uninformed and unhelpful- renovation to central entrance foyer has destroyed an architectural gem - breakfast was good and room was clean more

My daughter and I booked one night stay in the Norlandia Karl Johan Hotell. We were exhausted from our trip from California and were looking forward to some sleep before we enjoyed some of the sights of beautiful Oslo. When we arrived at the hotel it was 2pm. Check-in time is 3pm, we thought we could check-in a little early.... more

The location of this hotel is simply superb. Right on the main street, 5 mins walk from the National Theatre station and 10 mins walk to the port and Acker Brygge. Check in was fast and check out just as good. The staff were helpful and efficient. The buffet breakfast was good with meats, fish, cheeses, waffles, hot potatoes/sausages/scrambled eggs,... more

Of course I read all the reviews of other travelers, but in the end I decided to take this hotel for my business trip because of its excellent location in the heart of the city. And indeed it is excellent: overlooking a small park and in the middle of the shopping area. From Oslo airport take the airport express train... more
