Kristiansand hotellia

Plussat: Wonderful view over the Fjord and harbour. Nice and spacious room.

Miinukset: Woke up due to noise from the harbour where containers were moved in the middle of the night once.

Plussat: The room was quite spacious, and nice and clean. The view was excellent from the 7th floor. The location is very good. Just a few minutes' walk to restaurants, shopping and the beach.

Plussat: Very good looking

Miinukset: Was garbage under bed, got some kind of bite when i slept not sure what it was

Plussat: Short notice booking due to ferry cancellation. We were also leaving the hotel before breakfast and were offered a take away breakfast.. how nice.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Perfect location (just 5 min walk to pedestrian street with cafees) and view from the room, we had business class room at 11 floor. Breakfast was ok according to corona restrictions. Friendly stuff.

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Nice place

Miinukset: Breakfast was bad, if you come later it's almost empty, wasn't food

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: When I turned on the hair dryer a lot of dust came out from it...

Plussat: Eat at the hotel restaurant the chefs there are excellent Incredible Baked Cod. Reception staff were awesome in helping to get my luggage found after it got lost in transfer in Oslo airport

Plussat: Tyylikäs hotelli. Mainio sijainti, kun saavuimme lautalla Tanskasta Kristiansandiin. Uimakelpoinen ranta ja lähistöllä ruokapaikkoja, joissa söimme pientä purtavaa. Illalla söimme buffetissa, joka oli hyvä samoin kuin aamiainen. Meillä oli kaksi huonetta, joista molemmista merinäköala.

Plussat: the place was good

Miinukset: the breakfast was very bad. the hotel did not have parkering place. it had in near hotel but you have to pay money for that it did not have any playing for children and at all the hotel was boring a lot. but the city kristiansadn was beautiful. thanks

Plussat: Excellent value with the upgrade given. It was a large warm and cozy room, with a tub, as requested.The frokost was able to be heated with a guest microwave. Brilliant idea!

Miinukset: The tv could not be seen from the bed, which was not a Queen, as advertised. There was no kettle or tea/coffee makings.The tv and the wifi had a flakey signal.The toilet seat was loose and worst of all the guest computers have been removed.

Plussat: The location

Plussat: Rooms were comfortable, staff were fantastic, very kid friendly. The hotel is attached to aquarama which was exactly what we went for. Breakfast had a great selection and caters really well for allergies. The restaurant was great too.

Miinukset: Location was a bit of a walk from the main streets but not too far. The bar was closed during the day but would have been great if you could get coffee and tea and soft drinks here. They have an interactive games table but sadly the electrical point is faulty as it kept turning off and my husband (who is an electrical engineer) got an electric shock from the power housing unit.

Plussat: Good location. Great breakfast.

Miinukset: Very soft bed in the room. No fridge in the room.

Plussat: New and beautiful view of the water! Excellent free breakfast!

Plussat: safe environment very clean hotel Warm and friendly staff, very willing to help easy to locate, at the center, with a lot of shops and resturant very close by

Miinukset: breakfast need more options to select from could have preferred that pets are not allowed as my encounter with one was not very good

Miinukset: Very small room and bathroom

Plussat: because I had to leave so early, breakfast was made for me the evening before

Plussat: Breakfast was served in buffet style. It was more than enough for what we paid for. Hotel staff greets guests with an energetic good morning greeting which made our morning better.

Miinukset: They had a use a gloves and hand sanitizing policy but not all guest do it. Maybe they can have somone who makes sure that all use it to avoid spread of possible corona virus.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: Rooms are too small. Family room included the third bed in a drawer under the main bed.

Plussat: Excellent ,compared to price and and expectations.Perfect for just staying overnight.

Plussat: Hotel was really nice.

Plussat: Staff very friendly. Breakfast good.

Miinukset: Very small room.

Plussat: It is a modern and clean hotel,location near train and bus station, just several minutes walk. The zoo in Kristiansand is the best I have visited.

Miinukset: The room is too small

Plussat: It seems that the hotel follows a 'no-nonsense' policy, comparable with that of Ryanair (if I may say so). Means: young casual personnel and basic facilities in a modern jacket. We stayed here one night after arriving with the Ferry from Danmark, before starting a tour through Norway. For one night the hotel is okay and for budget-travellers it is okay, too. I suppose for Norwegian understandings the hotel was quit cheap and therefor one shouldn't expect lots of space an luxury.

Miinukset: One should see everything in its right context, so we have no complaints. However I want to mention the extremely small room we had. It felt like we were sleeping in a 'walk-in closet'.

Plussat: Easy, smart bed, good matress

Miinukset: Cleaning under bed, sunny inside room without persienne

Miinukset: hotellihuone oli hiukan kuin laivan hytti vähän isommassa formaatissa

Plussat: Budjettihotelliksi siisti, viihtyisä ja nykyaikainen. Huoneessa on ilmainen langaton verkkoyhteys.

Miinukset: Aamupala oli hyvä, mutta kasviksia olisi voinut olla enemmän.

Plussat: Friendly and Helpful Staff. Clean rooms. Quiet, no loud music.

Miinukset: Lack of wardrobe in the bedroom. (There was too little space to store clothes). Breakfast finished l little too early.

Plussat: Friendly, helpful staff, extremely clean, good location, price fairly reasonable by Norwegian standards.

Miinukset: Room was very bare - obviously set up to allow space for the luggage of multiple occupants - but as a result there wasn't any furniture to put things on except for a tiny desk.

Plussat: Although very basic, this hotel served the purpose of an equipped overnight stay with a reasonable choice of hot and cold food easily available. Clean and spacious throughout and very friendlt and helpful staff.

Miinukset: The metal beds were not the most comfortable I have used. Not a hotel if you are looking for the slightest decor or refinement.

Miinukset: Lobby bar was closed during our stay

Plussat: Pysäköintihalli hotellin vieressä. Siistit huoneet. Ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Ilmastointi ei toiminut, vaikka sellainen hotellissa luvattiin olevan. Oli helteinen aika ja huoneessa oli mahdottoman kuuma.

Plussat: The location was amazing.. in the middle of city center were all the restaurants are located.

Miinukset: The central Air-con wasn’t cold. And yet it was very hot outside, we had to open our windows and there was a rock discotheque playing loud music..

Plussat: Nice hotel design , absolutley great breakfast

Plussat: ok

Miinukset: The bed was too hard and the pillows bad. TOO MUCH noise from outside. The room was also to warm.Dust under the bed.The bathroom floor wasn`t cleaned. I found sanitary towels on the floor, behind the trascan.

Plussat: Child friendly and comfortable hotel.

Miinukset: The food at the restaurant was boring and overpriced

Plussat: Fantastic breakfast

Plussat: Everything was good

Plussat: Breakfast was perfect, so many choices of different food

Miinukset: floor in the room wasn’t so clean

Plussat: Aamupalapöytä hyvä

Miinukset: Pyyhkeet olisi voitu vaihtaa tiheämmin ja hymy ei maksa henkilökunnalla mitään

Plussat: I enjoyed the pool. Parking was very good.

Miinukset: The sauna was not working.

Plussat: Outside of te hotel looks promising..

Miinukset: yet the inside is outdated and a bit sloppy. Beds are poor in comfort. Empty minibar in the room and limited hospitality when arriving late.

Plussat: Family friendly

Plussat: i liked location, food, facilities for children, room, bar. you have a good staff, ecpecially guys in the bar who were responsible for childrens disko)

Plussat: Close to airport. Easy to find. very comfortable. Excellent staff.

Miinukset: A better selection on the menu is the only, minor, negative point.

Plussat: Fairly handy for the airport as I had a 06.30 flight the next morning.

Plussat: The pool was nice in the heat.

Miinukset: The rooms were too hot, no way of controlling temperature such as air conditioning or fans. This made it very uncomfortable and thus I would not stay here again during summer.

Plussat: The hotel staff was very service minded and welcoming and we especially felt that the children was very welcome at "Barnas hotell". Good location near Dyreparken

Miinukset:

Plussat: no positiv points!!!!

Miinukset: Far from Krisiansand, diner only buffet, road constructions near the hotel, strange, ugly hotel nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Plussat: very quite but near the airport, really nice room

Miinukset: more inforamtion signs in English would be useful

Plussat: A very comfortable hotel in a central location. I thought that staff were exceptional, given the circumstances with the coronavirus. Breakfast looked very stressful for them (not enough staff because of social distancing, I assumed) but they never stopped smiling and being pleasant.

Miinukset: N/A

Miinukset: Hotellissa olisi saanut olla sauna. Punttisalin ilman vaihto surkea.

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Overslept and missed checkout times, staff was friendly and helpful in assisting me in checking out with no extra charge. The room and bathroom was sparkling clean, nothing more to add.

Miinukset: The setup of the hotel initially felt like a maze, but when accustomed to it was really no problem.

Plussat: Excellent central location 2mins from the ferry for Denmark, also an easy walk to the pleasant area around the Cathedral with good choice of restaurants etc. Brilliant coffee machine in the lobby. Good breakfast. Staff very welcoming; bike storage no problem, large carparking facility. Several Mac computers for the free use of guests - wonderful.

Miinukset: The refurbished part of this hotel has been agressively overdesigned: Weird decor in the entrance; the bathroom was beautifully fitted out, but the room had all the charm of a morgue and was roughly the same temperature. The aircon can not be turned off and the temperature is centrally regulated between 18 and 20 degrees. I shivered in my coat after a hard day's cycling. Not recommended for a romantic adventure!

Plussat: Trendy modern decor. Excellent breakfast.

Miinukset: Small room

Plussat: Hotel staff were very helpful. Beds were extremely comfortable. Very close to ferry port and all the amenities of the city.

Plussat: The room was clean and the location was good

Miinukset: The male receptionist was rude, unhelpful and counter productive to our stay in the hotel.

Plussat: In the middle of town, pleasant staff, good breakfast

Miinukset: Rooms were rather basic with not a very cosy feel - seemed to be a redecorated office builiding

Plussat: Reception personel was very gentle and disposable and breakfast very attractive.

Miinukset: Very noisy during the night because of drunk people hanging on local bars and screaming on the streets under hotels windows.

Plussat: Lähellä satamaa. Hyvä palvelu erikoistilanteissa. Viihtyisä ja idyllinen.

Plussat: The Espresso machine - The breakfast - Fruit available in the lounge - Helpful staff

Miinukset: The street entrance was dirty -

Plussat: The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful e.g. we got great advice for our weekend trip in Norway. Our room was clean and we had a huge bathroom (4 bedroom). The breakfast buffet was also very good.

Plussat: The staff was extremely nice, helpful, and pleasant to deal with. The hotel was very conveniently located. The beds were very comfortable.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti lähellä merta ja runsaita ravintolapalveluita. Suuri parvekkeellinen huone Neljälle motoristille järjestyi erilliset vuoteet. Helppo pysäköinti

Miinukset: Maisema parvekkeelta ei ollut mitenkään kaunis. Voi kyllä korjaantua kun palanut talo korjataan.

Plussat: Clean , close to town.

Miinukset: Booked an breakfast box for 4.45am But was not there to collect

Miinukset: I had to be at the airport at 6:30am, so the staff prepared a breakfast box. I was disappointed with this, it contained 2 hard rolls, a juice Filled with sugar and butter. The only thing I took with me was the apple. I think you can improve on this.

Miinukset: Impossible ti sleep because of the sounds outside , working etc at 0300

Plussat: Breakfast and the service personell did a very good job.

Miinukset: Dirty room, garbage bins not empty when arrived, no air conditioner, it was quite warm during the night. Personell in the reception was not very professionals, not really helpful.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Scuffed walls/paint needs renovation, breakfast staff need customer training.

Miinukset: Windows where drafty, rooms cold.

Plussat: Great location to marinas, shopping, old town, restaurants and pubs. Easy walking access to many sites in Kristiansand. Although the room was not big, it was clean and decore was nice. Lobby has 3 computers for guests to use with free internet.

Miinukset: Hotel restaurant was not very good, but there are many great places to eat near the hotel.

Plussat: Good location befor farry to Danemark

Miinukset:

Plussat: The hotel was extremely convenient to both the train station and the Colour Line boat, which is what we wanted.

Miinukset: The top bunk is too close to the ceiling. My daughter had to pull the cot from underneath the bed and use that.

Plussat: Cheap, sited close to the harbour, good parking facilities

Miinukset: Had to put on bed-clothes ourselves

Plussat: The hotel is located in the centre of Kristiansand, perfect if you don't have a car and just want to go about town. All rooms have their own bathroom, wich is a big plus.

Miinukset: The beds were not very comfortable to sleep in, and the rooms are very noisy.

Plussat: This hotel is primarily for those concerned about price: You get a room with beds and a private bathroom, in the centre of town for a low price. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean.

Miinukset: I think that the beds ought to have been made before my arrival, rather than just leave the sheets in the room.

Plussat: Edullinen hinta oli ratkaiseva tekijä. Huoneet olivat siistejä ja sijainti hyvä, heti rautatieaseman vieressä.

Miinukset: Hotelli ei ole erityisen kutsuvan näköinen (parakki), äänieritys huoneissa oli huono ja ilmanvaihdossa oli ongelmia.

Plussat: Central location, simple but new and clean facilities.

Miinukset: After showering bathroom door should be closed because of sensitivity of the fire alarm - that is very inconcenient as there is just one mirror in the room and it is in the bathroom.

Plussat: Kelvollinen majapaikka, mutta ensikohtaaminen oli pieni shokki: varattaessa missään ei kerrottu, että hotelli on itse asiassa kasa parakkeja.

Plussat:

Miinukset: The staff was totally unhelpfull and unfriendly. Did not give me back my change, because the reception desk doesn not work until 4pm, lack of information; no facilities for eating, even having breakfast, it smells in the room when the heater is on.

Plussat: Very nice price, good for short staying. Small rooms with bathroom in container-type modular building.

Miinukset: Everything was OK.
