Karl Johan Hotel
Rooms were comfortable, clean, fully stocked with amenities. The front desk was amazing and ready with recommendations as well as a hot cup of coffee or varm sjkolade! The place to stay if you want to be in the middle of it all and directly at outside are the Christmas Markets.

Hotel Verdandi Oslo
Room had everything we needed. There were some strange sounds coming from the air vents in the middle of the night that briefly kept us up. Otherwise a good stay.
