Great Hotel In Great Location

Really nice hotel with a comfortable room and very good breakfast. All the staff were very nice and check in was quick and easy. The hotel is also in a great location in the centre of town.
Lee, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

A hotel who needs a refurnishing job. Noisy surroundings also considering the central location. Good service in the reception.

It was good
jose a, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Room layout was poor, meaning two people with a case each will not enjoy the room at all... more like playing tetris from the inside. Had to climb over the bed to get to the other side due to duct at floor level on the far side of the bed. Hopefully other rooms in hotel are not as bad as 313.
Gerard, 2-night trip

some ups and downs

Good location - kind staff - fine breakfast - poor cleaning and expensive beer
Asger Bache, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

In- och utcheckning gick väldigt snabbt. Gångavstånd till Rådhuset, Aker brygge m.m. Fick ett modern och rent rum. Bra sängar. Frukost var mycket bra.

Søvnløs i varmen

Har bodd på Scandic Karl Johan flere ganger,men aldri midt på sommeren og hetebølgen.Det ble en veldig varm opplevelse.Aircondition er kanskje utopi,men hva med en fungerende vifte i hvert rom?Fikk låne en bordvifte i resepsjonen,men det var skrøpelig og ramlet fra hverandre hvert 10.minutt.Det blir sikkert ikke den siste hetebølgen,kanskje være litt forberedt?Savnet også et lite kjøleskap i rommet. Hotellet har fin beliggenhet,hyggelig personale og variert og velsmakende frokost men disse søvnløse nettene i supervarmt rom gjorde at det ble en svak treer.

Pest eler kolera

Bodde på familierom. Siden det er midt i sentrum er det mye bråk ute og en skulle gjerne hatt vinduene åpne men siden det ikke er aircondition på hotellet. Blir vel som å velge mellom pest eller kolera... Dårlig nattesøvn blir det uansett...

Rigtig fint hotel, god beliggenhed, rent, venlig og hjælpsom personale. Bagagerum ved afrejse. Og ikke mindst formidabel morgenbord. Værelse måske bare en anelse for lille😉
