Terje, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The overall experience was just fine. They didn’t have parking available in the middle of the week, the thermostat didn’t work correctly and it was extremely cold inside during summer. Otherwise the hotel was fine.

Bed bugs in the hotel room

We found bed bugs in the first room (number 506). I went to the reception desk with video and they moved us to another room. Otherwise the hotel has a very central location in Kristiansand. The room was quite small and breakfast was good.

Great Location but as ahead about parking

Was an overnight stay with a family of 4 so hard to tell about the overall experience with such a short stay. One thing was that we needed to use the hotel parking lot. When we checked in we were told they were book. I was never told to book ahead of time and parking in another lot was a slight challenge as we were leaving for the airport at 4am.
James, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Cheap hotel trying to be a boutiqe hotel

Checked out after one day and moved to a neighbor hotel. The size of the family room was good. The room felt dirty, showering there the whole bathroom got wet. In general the hotel tries to be a "design hotel", but you so clearly feel how cheap all the design elements are.... Got a new hotel closer to the water and still enjoyed our stay in Kristiansand.

10/10 Excellent

Parking was a little far away. I was not offered on site parking. We had an interior room. It would’ve been nice to have an exterior room. All that being said the room was lovely and the beds were very comfortable. It was nice to have a coffee maker in the room as well as a tea kettle. The buffet breakfast is outstanding probably the best we had in Norway.
Beth, 2-night trip

Unser Zimmer hat direkt gegenüber einer Karaokebar gelegen, die bis 3:00 Uhr nachts laut Musik gemacht hat. Und das nicht nur an einem Abend, sondern von Montag bis Sonntag.

Geen uitzicht vanuit de kamer. We keken op een blinde muur. Jammer, want voor de rest was de kamer OK. Handig dat er ook een parking was al waren sommige plaatsen, alsook de uitgang, zeer smal
