Old world Nordic charm
A small and charming hotel. Parking is a bit of an issue as it's offsite. Room was small but clean. Lousy view of a rockface. But comfortable. Choose it as it's on way to Torp Airport. Solid. Pretty. But lacks a wow factor

Small bathroom, but still good
Very nice only downside was the basic and very small bathroom. Good selection at breakfast too, which is an improvement on the scandic standard options.

Great location and very friendly staff. The morning meal is good. The coffee is okay. Like most Norwegian hotels, it does not have air conditioning but they do have fans.

Grimstad Gem
This is the second time in three years that i have stayed in this property . Not only is it clean and filled with friendly service, the area is charming. I highly recommend it. Special thanks to Gunnar, the man at the front desk who was particularly kind and helpful.

Business trip
One night stay for business - arrived late and left early although the TV/Wifi facilities were excellent. Breakfast menu looked pretty good even though I did not have the opportunity to sample the food itself.
Parking was somewhat expensive but to be expected given the lack of available spaces
