Loved by Comfort Hotel Karl Johan guests
"Location is great - right in centre of town on the main street - a 5 min walk down to station."
"Probably one of the biggest plusses is the location in Karl Johan street."
"The hotel sets back off streets so had minimal city noise and had a wonderful courtyard out front that was relaxing."

Comfort and Convenience Combined
central locationexcellent buffetquiet roomreally good service
I was very impressed by the hotel's central location. I could easily walk to many attractions. The breakfast buffet was excellent (loved the variety of cheeses!). The staff efficiently moved me to a quiet room after my first night, which I appreciated. Larry at the front desk provided really good service during my very early morning departure, he ensured I safely got into a taxi.
The bathroom could use a few more hooks for towels and robes.
Rooms
8/10
My room included a comfortable bed and a modern bathroom with a rainfall shower, though I did notice the room size was a bit smaller than expected. The room had sufficient space for luggage and moving around freely, including a desk area and an armchair. I was happy with the overall cleanliness and amenities.
