Hotels in Oslo's city centre are excellent if you're exploring the city with time contraints, as you're right in the thick of things.
At the Central railway station end of Karl Johansgate, you'll find several hotels, including the cool Clarion Collection Hotel Bastion. There are also Thon Hotel Opera, Scandic Byporten (in Byporten shopping mall) and many others. Lodgings further along main street Karl Johan include the fabulous
Grand Hotel and
Continental Hotel, as well the slightly more moderately priced
Best Western Karl Johan. One block away are the elegant Bristol hotel, the traditional hotels Bondeheimen and Hotel Stefan, the new design hotel G20 and the budget option P-hotels. One block to the other side are First hotel Millennium and the Oslo's first design hotel. Grims Grenka.
