Karl Johan Hotel

Karl Johan Hotel

8/10 Good
"Excellent location, AMAZING breakfast. Loved the hotel. My only advice to travellers is if you are facing the main street the nightclub was quite loud and kept us up all night ( was a Friday ) . Booked a family superior room and was very small ( for those North Americans that are not used to European sized hotel rooms ). Wonderful hotel would stay again."
