Modern, excellent-value for money HTL Grensen is just a few minutes’ walk from Karl Johans Gate shopping area and even closer to Oslo’s main gay club, London Pub. The hotel offers contemporary-designed rooms with flat screen satellite TV, iPod docking station, minibar and free WiFi. Some rooms have nice street views. There is a cafe onsite, and the hotel’s tasty breakfast buffet is worth a special mention. The National Gallery and The Royal Palace are within walking distance. The HTL hotel chain has several locations in Oslo – the HTL Karl Johan is also great choice.
