You can hardly find a more central hotel in downtown Oslo in this price range. Very small rooms, but great staff

Good: breakfast buffet, staff friendly & helpful. Bad: will not hold baggage if you leave for a few days, parking very expensive.

Lovely, clean, comfortable hotel centrally located in Oslo. Would definitely recommend staying if you're here for a break. Staff are fantastic and I want to make special mention of Ramzes who helped me out when I checked in. I was having issues with my phone and needed to book rail tickets to Sweden but Ramzes was amazing and helped me get these booked.
These tickets had to be booked there and then from my perspective and he simply translated for me and took me through the whole process.
Excellent customer service and it helped me out immensely. Not only this but three days later, not only did Ramzes recognise me when I came back, but also remembered my name!
That is a sign of someone who is excellent at their job and his welcoming nature makes you feel at home. Thank you Ramzes, you really made my stay at Scandec Karl Johan very enjoyable

Weekend i Oslo
Rommet vårt var like ved ventilasjonsaggregatet så det var during hele tiden.Noe trangt på rommet.Ellers var det greit,ikke plass til bord og stol på rommet. Variert frokost. Hyggelige ansatte i lobby og kjøkken.Kort vei til det meste.

Rom lite men OK. Trodde jeg bodde ut mot stille gate, men umulig å sove etter 0600 pga bråk i gata.
Lurt med håndkle til gulv da vann rant utover og jeg måtte bruke det lille til å tørke gulvet.
Frokost tipp topp.

Bra beliggenhet og god service. Elendig renhold, brukte glass og søppel fra tidligere gjester var ikke fjernet
