Nice clean, modern room. Free wifi everywhere and an excellent Nordic breakfast included. The bed was super comfortable, the view was amazing and the service was top shelf. I would recommend this hotel if you are staying in Kristiansand!

Brilliant location - right by the main shopping street Markengata, and 5 minutes from train and bus stations, and harbour. So no need for taxis. Pleasant reception, easy check-in. Room was plain, but good size for a single. Free wi-fi everywhere worked well. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice, though a little chaotic - had to ask for mugs... More

Scandic was a very good and resonable in price chain earlier. Now the chain has deteriorated in standard, and the prices have gone way up. Our stay this time was only over-night, we got a room with two small beds, I had to ask in the reception if it was a single room. No, to was a double!! The breakfast... More
