Hotel is classic gem updated to modern standards

Super breakfast, very helpful staff, terrific location, lovely modern room with elegant pedigree, quiet, yet on Karl Johan Park where national theater, university, and national royal palace meet at the foot of local governance, walking distance to fortress that guarded the Oslo Fjord, the Munch museum, restaurants that line the docks replete with harbor view. Adjacent to tram and bus routes.
