Expected more for the money
It isn't a bad hotel and I will probably come back. But when the price is at the same level as Grand Hotel I do expect more. Overall experience are good. However, there were cracked tiles in the bathroom that has been there for a while (miss-colour), unfinished repairs in the ceiling, and looks fixurs on the bed. Observe that there is no fitness center at the hotel.

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

Très bien placé à Karl Johan. Central pour visiter Oslo, à proximité du métro et des principaux points d’intérêts accessible facilement à pieds ou transport en commun. Chambre et salle de bain un peu petite néanmoins. La chambre n’a pas était faite en entier le jour où on n’avait demandé le cleaning.
