Frommer's "As you wander about its stylish public rooms, taking in the stained glass and circular staircase, you'll think you've stumbled into Belle Epoque Paris." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Norlandia Karl Johan is a late 18th-century, five-storey hotel located on Oslo’s main thoroughfare."
Star Service "This 100-year-old gray-stone corner building is Best Western's best in the capital, and it represents great value for tourists and frugal but demanding midrange travelers." Full review

The attitude of the staff also helps to compensate for the room's limited proportions, although they can be difficult to reach for special requests.

Michelin Guide "New-build hotel on the site of a former silver mine, in an up-and-coming part of the city."
Concierge "This nine-story, stark white angular building rises like an iceberg on the outskirts of the Grünerløkka neighborhood, a ten-minute tram ride from Oslo's Central Station."

Lonely PlanetTop choice
"Floorboards and rough-hewn bedheads give this contemporary chain hotel a warmth and tactility that you might not expect from the exterior architecture." Full review
The Guardian "Another good place to stay is the modern Scandic Hotel Vulkan (doubles from £115) at the foot of Grünerløkka, with the Mathallen food court as its closest neighbour"
