The large bathrooms are absolutely luxurious with marble decor, rain shower, and Rituals wellness products that made us feel pampered and relaxed. The twin room's comfortable beds were perfect for our family, and we loved the customizable room effects.
Personally, we found the city shades a bit too dark, but others might appreciate the cozy feel.

I loved the antique interior and atmosphere of the hotel, which made me feel like a royalty. The location was superb, with easy access to all major attractions. Although the walls were thin and I could hear the neighbors "doing things", it didn't bother me much. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had a wonderful stay at this hotel.

I chose this hotel for a leadership summit and it served as a gathering place for diverse styles with a personal touch. It was the obvious choice for business events. Additionally, it was a meeting point for both work and leisure, making it the perfect location for a long-awaited trip combined with work.
I missed having 24-hour room service for my work needs.

Couldn't recommend more this hotel. Beautiful, well-located hotel. Clean rooms, courteous staff, and comfortable beds. Spacious room for 3 adults, with no outside noise. Excellent breakfast with huge omelets. Cleverly designed room, felt more spacious than expected. Convenient for walking to attractions and train station. Helpful staff organized a packed breakfast for early departure.
Couldn't recommend more this hotel.

Amazing views, inspiring interior design, and a delicious buffet. Plus, the beds were so comfy I wanted to steal them. And the location? Perfect for shopping and cultural life. Karl Johan Hotel knows how to impress.
Oh, and let's not forget the pleasure of being blown on all night by the lovely A/C draft. Simply delightful.

The hotel was conveniently located near the train station, which was great for my business trip. I didn't have to worry about transportation as I could simply walk to the hotel. Additionally, the hotel had a beautiful structure with lovely art adorning the walls, which added a touch of elegance to my stay. The beds were also incredibly comfortable, ensuring that I had a good night's sleep after a long day of work.
One downside of my stay was the noise from construction on a neighboring street. It was a bit disruptive, especially late at night when I was trying to rest.

Our family had a wonderful experience exploring the beautiful nature and hiking trails in Normarka. The whole family enjoyed the unique activities offered by the event agency, providing us with memorable experiences. The places to eat in the area catered to the entire family's tastes, adding to our delightful stay.
In my wife's opinion, a more interactive kids' play area could enhance the family experience.

In the heart of the hotel, Restaurant Ekman with a glass ceiling above and a delicious buffet - The culinary experience at this charming hotel was a delightful surprise. The buffet spread was a tantalizing assortment of local flavors and international dishes that left me wanting to try a bit of everything. The glass ceiling added a touch of elegance, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely breakfast or a delightful dinner.
No internal phone in the rooms.

I keep coming back to this hotel for its exceptional service and central location. The staff once helped me retrieve forgotten belongings. The amenities suit my needs perfectly, including Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, fitness center, and a welcoming atmosphere. Can't wait to return for New Year's.

This hotel ticks all the boxes for a great stay - it's centrally located in a wonderful neighborhood, very close to the train station, and even has a nearby parking facility. The cleanliness of the hotel and its facilities is top-notch, and the breakfast is simply amazing. The staff was very helpful and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience.
Could not be improved in any way.

This place is perfectly located in the heart of everything, just a stone's throw from a beautiful church and on a wonderful pedestrian only mall. The service is absolutely excellent with the staff offering help with any request or question. There are plenty of amenities including heating, air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, mini-bar, and sitting area. The breakfast is also fantastic with plenty of options to choose from.
I would highly recommend this hotel to family and friends.

We loved the central location of this hotel, it made exploring the city so convenient. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to our enjoyable stay. The beds were comfy and having a kettle and fridge in the room was a bonus. The hot shower was excellent and refreshing. And the breakfast spread was absolutely amazing, with a great variety of food options, including delicious vegan choices. It was a great value for our budget-friendly trip.
The hotel had a classic and charming feel, with some rooms being a bit dated. However, this didn't affect our overall stay as everything was functional, clean, and spotless.

I simply adored the cozy and elegant decor of the hotel, especially the comfortable sitting areas where I could relax and read a book. The hotel's central location made it easy for senior folks like me to explore the city with convenience and peace of mind.
I would suggest better lighting in the rooms for senior guests. The children working there should ensure brighter lighting to make the stay more enjoyable.

Great location on a lively pedestrian street, close to public transportation, city hall, museums, and restaurants. Friendly staff provided helpful directions and even arranged a breakfast box for our early departure. Rooms were clean, modern, and spacious with good WiFi. Cozy breakfast area with plenty of fresh food options. Lovely building with a mix of elegant and cozy decorations.

This hotel's location couldn't be better! It's right in the heart of the city, within walking distance to nearly everything. The staff is polite and friendly, with a 24-hour desk and good breakfast. Rooms have excellent sound-proofing, and some have a nice view or balcony. The building has a lot of character and maintains its historic charm.
The hotel lacked facilities for evening dining during our stay.
