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.

Kaldt rom
Sov dårlig i for hard seng. Rommet var kaldt og det var ikke mulig å stille varmen. Det tok hotellet tre netter og ikke få til og reparere dette. Vi fikk ekstra poeng, men ville heller hatt et behagelig opphold

Veldig glatt i badekaret ved dusjing. Det burde være en matte i karet.
Den ordinære kaffen var ikke god, det være seg både morgenkaffen og ellers - jeg gir den navnet «brunt vann».

Flott sentral beliggenhet, hyggelig personale og god mat. Eneste minuset var noe støy fra ventilasjonsanlegget på rommet og en parkeringskjeller som ikke er egnet for annet enn de minste bilene.
Totalopplevelsen er allikevel slik at dette har blitt vårt faste hotell på det blide sørland.

Fin beliggenhet og flott frokost. AC virket dårlig og det var varmt om natten selv om vi satte -3 grader på panelet ( skulle gitt temperatur under 20C ie 17) ble t aldri under 19,6.
