Melanie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not used to European Hotels but there were no tissues or a garbage can capable of holding anything above a few tissues. We did not want cleaning service so it was a bit of an issue for me. Bed was more comfortable than expected and the room was nice. Necessities only which was fine. Breakfast was outstanding at the restaurant.

8/10 Very good

This hotel is very well located on the water, close to the central part of town. The room and staff were nice, but the AC in the room did not work and the windows could not be opened. It was hot and stuffy in the room, making it uncomfortable to sleep.

Perfekt for barnefamilier

Veldig hyggelig personale som tar godt i mot og tar godt vare på gjestene. Den beste beliggenheten for en familietur med barn til Kristiansand.
