Hotel Carlton - Oslo

About Hotel Carlton

hotel lobby Within 15 minutes' walk of Karl Johans gate, the Carlton is a boutique hotel in Oslo City Centre, a compact downtown area with excellent public transport, making it very easy to get around indeed. The city centre has a little bit of everything, and within walking distance of the hotel you can find many bars and shops lining Karl Johans gate, Oslo's main street. Discos and nightclubs are to be found around Rosenkrantz gate, and lots of historic buildings, art galleries and museums are located in the Kvadraturen area, Oslo's historic centre.

The Hotel Carlton in Oslo does its utmost to ensure that guests enjoy a comfortable, relaxing and amusing time in Norway. What differentiates this Oslo hotel from other Oslo city hotels is surely the friendliness of its young staff and their good sense of humour. In fact, everyone of the staff members has an alter ego taken from Faulty Towers, the hilarious 1970's British TV comedy about an eccentric hotel owner and his staff in Torquay. When you arrive at a hotel in Oslo, the last thing you expect is to be greeted by Norwegian versions of Basil Faulty, Sybil Fawlty, Manuel and Miss Tibbs (who thankfully are not round the twist like their TV aliases!).

As well as the friendly staff, the Hotel Carlton has 2 other highlights, a Japanese restaurant and a great bar, which is named after the hotel's dog, Otto, and is located just around the corner from the hotel proper. There is also a wireless internet access throughout as well as free internet point and free tea and coffee in the hotel lobby. Here at reception, you can buy the Oslo pass, which gives you many discounts on public transport, restaurants and entry to museums and art galleries.
