Highly Recommended
Amazing Hotel, Staff are very friendly and helpful! Next to the Safari Park, I couldn't visit as I was travelling for business so arrived late and left early for the Airport but will definitely visit again. Amazing for families but I felt very comfortable and welcome as a lone traveller. Very Clean.

Property was under renovation while I was there but still an excellent stay. And what could be better than right next door to a zoo, an adventure park, and a singing pirate ship that goes right past your room if you get one overlooking the water! I had a great time. The breakfast is also wonderful!

To be completely honest. I don't think the bunk bed is apropriate and safe for kids above 9 years old. Unless they have a small complexion. My 13 year old had half of his legs out. And I was too afraid for my 8 year old to turn around and fall from the higher bunk bed level in the middle.of the night. Otherwise I lived the location as you are just next door to Dyreparken entrance and it has its perks. Enjoy the some animals sleep (zebras, ostriches, jirafes, okapies) as they mingle at the yard next to the hotels entrance. Buffet very accomodating. Restaurant and bar have a nice bive. And souvenir store has lots to offer. Book in advance and plan to enjoy several days as it is quite Disney style ;)

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. So many kids were running, spanking doors and screaming. w We could hear reception and the kitchen and everything outside, including what appeared to be a loading dock. People were smoking right outside so we had to close our window but because there was no temperature control we slept with ice. Iasked a our the noise abd they saix there is nothing they can do until 11pm when quiet hours started. The kitchen/ loading dock stayed at 6 am leaving little time to sleep. We used noise canceling headphones but they barely took the edge off the noise At a minimum they should not rent the room we were in but guessing since they didn't offer to move us the entire hotel needs better sound proofing.

Expedia noted this as a hotel close to the Kristiansand airport. They did not mention it was a zoo/pirate themed park. I was travelling for work without my family, so it wasnt a big deal, but this would have been a huge selling point if my kids were in tow. Great hotel, good buffet restaurant, and it is indeed close to the airport. I hope i can bring my family back to enjoy the park.

Just OK
The hotel was OK in general, but the room was very noisy and cold because of centralized ventilation / AC. Impossible to turn off according to the staff.
