Hotels in Southern Norway

Very nice hostel to stay a bit (Kristiansand is very small…). 1/ The breakfast buffet is definitely amazing and everything is super tasty! 2/ The room is clean, but a bit dark, I would have preferred a bit more lights. 3/ The staff is kind. 4/ The location is practical (because really central), but the view on the containers from the room is not amazing I admit. Overall, good experience ◡̈

The staff was very kind and helpful. The first room we got had some issued and we got a new room that was even better. The breakfast buffet was good, and overall the hotel too. Almost everything right beside the hotel. We had a good stay!

The hotel is very nice and exceptionally clean. The suite is comfortable, well-appointed, and offers a beautiful view. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.

Best hotel option in Kristiansand, perfect place for car spotting there’s sometimes cool cars outside like a Ferrari or Lamborghini’s the hotel itself is cozy and well built the atmosphere is perfect. And the food it on point, I’ve been here countless times and will definitely return!

This hotel proved to be the ideal choice for our stay in Kristiansand. The location was exceptionally convenient, and the rooms were impeccably maintained, with spotless linens that added to the overall comfort. Breakfast, while not extensive in variety, was of very good quality and prepared with care, making for a satisfying start to the day. What truly distinguished our experience was the service...

It's OK. Very cozy but the facilities are average.

Spacious room, friendly staff, and solid breakfast I stayed at this hotel for one day and was met with very friendly staff. The room was large and nice, but unfortunately the AC didn’t work properly – even with a note saying it was slow, the temperature only dropped by 0.2°C over two hours, and the room stayed uncomfortably warm. Apart from that, everything else was great. A big plus was their cooperation...

Easy to find, no35 bus from airport. Lovely location by the water with promenade walks. Clean room but no drinks in room. Good breakfast. Bicycles free to borrow. Only Norwegian tv channels in room, although you can Bluetooth music from your phone to the tv. The Aquarama SATS facility with swimming pools etc are adjoined, guests can use for an extra fee. Nice and quiet despite its size. Friendly and...

The location of the hotel is great and there is a parking garage and street parking available. Of course it is not free.

Kristinsand Bystranda. Arrived withboat from Denmark at 00:30. smoothless check in and parking in the garage in basement below. Excellent breakfast and gym. Had a strall in Kristiansand after check out, beutiful. Highly recommended.

Scandic Kristiansand Our weekend stay was excellent despite the staff being busy with a convention.

Not used to European Hotels but there were no tissues or a garbage can capable of holding anything above a few tissues. We did not want cleaning service so it was a bit of an issue for me. Bed was more comfortable than expected and the room was nice. Necessities only which was fine. Breakfast was outstanding at the restaurant.

Rent og fin hotel med god service og venlig betjening.

clean room, great breakfast, close to town centre

Nice deco, good facilities and breakfast.

Rent rom, myk seng, hyggelig personale med rask service.

Nice hotel but you can see the wear. Nice hotel but you can see the wear.

Helt all right. Men jeg måtte be om et annet rom pga mye trafikk på ene siden

Ferietur alene for å slappe av fra jobb og stress.

Very nice staff and professional. Beautiful view from room. Half the room is surrounded by glass.

Room is very clean and our junior suite room was big enough for the 4 of us. Most of all the view from our room was spectacular.

Great hotel Great hotel. Modern, clean and overlooking harbour. Restaurant food was not as good as the reviews read .

Mycket trevling personal, god Frukost och mat i restaurangen. Nytt rent, och fräscht hotell med ljudisolerade rum. Inget att klaga på och kommer gärna tillbaka

The breakfast is good! The room is not big, but it is OK. The surrounding environment is a bit messy. The hotel looks good from the outside. Such a big hotel does not have its own parking space. The social parking lot charges a fee.

This hotel really exceeded my expectations. Kristiansand itself is a beautiful little town, and this hotel is also great. It is in a commercial area where you can go shopping and eat. The breakfast in the hotel is average, but the room is very clean and comfortable. The front desk is also very good and has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

I liked the breakfast at this hotel; it was a buffet and very delicious. There are several restaurants nearby, and it's quite quiet at night. I recommend staying here; the price is reasonable. There's a supermarket nearby, just a few minutes' walk away, where you can buy salmon sashimi, which is delicious.

I often stay at Thon hotels when traveling for business. This one is a bit more relaxed, and it's very conveniently located next to a church. By Scandinavian hotel standards, the service is acceptable. The rooms are large with radiators, and the bathrooms are small but have underfloor heating.

The hotel is clean, beautiful, and in a great location—very convenient.

The rooms are small, but the hotel is in the city center.

I really appreciate the wonderful breakfast provided by the hotel, which is diverse and of high quality! I tried Norwegian Brown Cheese here! Besides, the staff members at the service counter are helpful and welcoming. Its convenient location is also worth mentioning. Located in the city center, the hotel is accessible to the train station, supermarkets and bus stops. Almost everywhere is within walking...

God service ok rom og god frokost

Clean room perfect for short stays

Clean room and great service… As always, Breakfast was great and typical Scandic style.

Spacious room, breakfast was ok but we should have avoided the buffet dinner.

Ferie Oppholdet var helt ok. Skulle jo bare sove ei natt for så å reise videre.

Morning buffet needs work The rooms were really small for a family of 4 but we made it work. We had to have a baby crib in the room for our youngest which made it a bit tighter. One of the biggest issues was the breakfast. There was no one by the door telling people where to sit, so people were just walking around looking for tables which made it a lot more hectic. Both mornings we had to ask for...

This is my second time staying at this hotel. The convenience to Dyreparken cannot be beat! We had all of our breakfasts and dinners at the hotel and were not disappointed. The table agreed that that their coffee machine is great! We even had a emergency happen while at the hotel with our two year old getting injured while at the hotel (not the hotel's fault, just an accident) and the hotel staff was...

Restaraunt is super expensive, was a buffet style meal, i side the park is similar

Hyggelig resepsjonist og god parkeringaløsning.

Great location and the most friendly staff!

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.

KJEMPE GØY 😀😀 Det var kjempe gøy,rommet var også perfekt. Det eneste jeg har og si er at kanskje dere bør satse på halal mat til muslimer som skal overnatte der.😀😀

I had a great experience staying in Arendal at Thon Hotel. GREAT service at reception 0-24 hours, as i checked in late night. The beds and duvet- pillows were comfortable, the room was nice and with a classic style. And a woow experience breakfast with a wide selection. As an artist-performer, this gave me a great start for the day and a good fundation for a successful performance later on. One little...

On the left side of the bed there was an uncomfortable crease that made it nearly impossible to sleep. The staff asked us upon check-in if we’d been there before. We answered «no», then I was not given directions for the elevator, I had to ask how we got to our room. Only one pack of sugar free sweetener next to the kettle in our room. The breakfast was one of the highlights.

Very modern, nice, clean and overall very good place downtown Arendal

Clean Room, Good Breakfast and Nice People

I stayed at this hotel, which is part of a large chain, with parking available right across the street. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist and got a room on the 6th floor – the same floor as breakfast. There was also a cozy lounge area with free coffee, tea, and even an ice machine for guests. The room itself was excellent – spacious, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. However, I was really...

God frukost og komfortable rom med god plass.

Clean, comfortable, beautiful position looking over the water

Flott opphold, usedvanlig service.

Great room, great location! Breakfast is one of the best!

Great receptionist at night. Nice hotel. Nice breakfast. Got room 251, also ok but music noise from the street om a tuesday 0100 at night, so not so great. But, all in all probably the best hotel in arendal.

Ett hotell att lägga på minnet! Rent snyggt rum mycket trevlig personal. God frukost med hälsosamma alternativ. Gick att få nystekt omelett, mycket trevligt!

Super, supert!👍👏 Super, supert!!!

Central location and very nice breakfast for the price per night. Super soft mattress, couldn’t sleep for 2 nights. There’s a column in the bedroom that starts playing music and saying something in local language and you can’t turn it off. Not good experience

Small room, you have to ask for room cleaning and the breakfast is average.

It has everything I need for my 3 Days-Stay here. The Personal is very nice, the Breakfast is good aswell, and its very close to both, the ferry and the church and many restaurants

Not sure if I should give this hotel 3 or 4 stars The location is central and close to the bus and train station. The room was small but clean. This is probably the first hotel that I've stayed at that had a bathtub. I really enjoyed the breakfast, and the dining hall was nicely decorated. It also has a big parking lot. I didn't really like the hallways. They were rather dull, and you could see through...

Perfect for passing through Kristiansand. Rooms are small but clean, service is friendly and breakfast excellent. Location is perfectly central. Parking is available at super expensive at rip-off pricing at Vestre Torv, but does give access directly to the hotel through the 4th floor in the same building. It is not part of their business, and parking tariffs are not displayed, also not on the easypark...

From the heart of a Thai girl who eats papaya salad, breakfast is very good, especially the chia pudding topped with coconut and grains is the best.

Very comfortable room & bed, OK breakfast, but they need to do something with the WiFi, very weak and it kept cutting out on all my devices.

Hotel was lovely just food was a bit limited but they did cook something special for our 1 year old when we asked

Vi hadde ett kjempe fint opphold på Rederiet. Smilende servitører, og veldig god mat.

Perfect location! Clean, lovely breakfast! Comfortable beds and room.

Fortunately we saw King and Queen of Norway during our stay there!

Difficult check-in, after closing time for staff. Small double bed. Lamps that do not work in rooms.

I’ve been at this hotel for a week and everything’s been fine. I switched to this room for one night and I love it, kettle, coffee machine like usual, and best of all, a fridge. I just wish there was a plug next to the bed to charge my phone more easily.

Great selection at breakfast, perfect location, helpful staff, clean room.

Clean, friendly and great value

Stort godt rom. Gode senger. Noe skittent.

Helt OK - parkering 400kr for en natt

Old and run down. BATHROOM needs to be completely redone 🙄

Nice room, OK breakfast, bathroom is however very cramped.

Quaint small town vibe Arendel is a delightful small town and the hotel is walking distance to downtown. Lovely accommodations

Cool hotel closely located to city centre. Few eateries nearby convenient as well. There was also a kiwi within walkable distance to grab anything you might need

We loved this charming hotel in an even more charming town. The breakfast was great. There are lots of shops just outside the front door and the parking garage is literally next door. Don’t miss the chocolatier, Heimdal, just down the street. Highly recommend.

God service fra personalet, Greit rom, kjempegod seng. Veldig lite bad. Minus for dusjforheng i altfor trang dusj, og vann fløt over hele gulvet under dusjingen. Knallgod frokost🙌 Alt i alt har vi hatt et greit opphold🤗

Just ok The hotel itself is ok- the name is a bit misleading, as there is nothing “grand” about this hotel. We got a room on the backside of the hotel with just a tiny window. If you stay here, insist on the front. The housekeeping was in our room, but didn’t do the bed.

This hotel was in a great location in the centre of kristiansand with easy walking to everywhere ! Plus they had parking next to the hotel although they charge and have no ev chargers . But we had a great stay .

Clean but no food Nice hotel even though the location is a bit off. The hotel restaurant was closed for the summer and the only food you could buy was youghurt, chocolate and crisps. Not even any sandwiches. The ice cream box was nearly empty even though it’s early August. On the positive side, clean rooms and bathrooms. The breakfast room was located on floor 21 with great views and good food.

Herlig 2 dagers opphold i Kristiansand, på Thon Partner Hotel. God service, fine rom og nydelig frokost.

Good facilities and breakfast. Room size is OK, but bathroom very small. In our room there was a blind wall direct behind the window, so no view and a bit dark. Didn’t bother us though.

Beautiful hotel. My room wasn’t ready even if I arrived 1 hour after check in time. Breakfast was good.

God service, men kunne gitt beskjed om arbeid utenfor, litt vanskelig da å finne frem med bil.

Fredelig opphold Et ganske slitt rom, men fint bad og veldig rolig. Jeg sovnet med en gang

Nice seaview hotel Part of a big camping site this hotel lies at the seafront. Nice views if you booked seafront. Partly renovated and new rooms added. All ok except for breakfast. Coffe was not strong not even medium Scrambled eggs was luke warm

Veldog brs! Hadde bare en overnatting! God frokost!

Good condition. Quite big room. Very clean. And all furiture looks good quality.

Hyggelig opphold Fantastisk og hyggelig opphold. Stille og rolig. God service.

Middels fornøyd I beskrivelsen av leiligheten på nettsiden står det at det er 3 soverom, men dette stemmer ikke. Det er 2 soverom, og en hems med 2 enkelt senger. Hotellet kunne gjort noe mer ut av leiligheten, som å feie balkongen (som var fult av blader m.m.), håndsåpe på badet og mer enn 2 oppvasktabletter da man må ta oppvasken ofte da det er lite med glass og servise.

Perfect for five One of very few hotels where you can book for a family of FIVE, without having to get a big suite. Two connecting rooms with bunk beds for 3 in one room, and a double bed in the other. You'll find hotels with more luxury than this one, but the reasonable price and the room structure makes this our number one choice in the area. Receptionless, but plenty of information and no problem...

Value for money Jeg hadde et fint opphold. Rommet var rent og ryddig, og det viktigste var på plass.

Strategic location to groceries, bus terminal and shopping mall

Trangt og dårlig komfort Extremely small room. Uncomfortable bed. Sewer smell from shower drain. Blinds/screens on window would automatically rise, even when shut.

Veldig små rom/seng . Lite men ok bad. Heilt fint for 1 eller 2 overnattinger

Self Service laundry should be open 24 hours.

It was nice, clean comfortable place.

The Citybox is well situated near supermarkets, restaurants and attractions. I like the minimalist concept of the facility. Staff are honest. I left my wedding band and they contacted me on how I can have it back. Thank you.

The check in and out were simple. Having the laundry was brilliant.

Great location to walk and explore Kristiansand. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Great place to stay . Near everything and convenient.

Lovely inn at a coast town. Nice breakfast . Easy to park

Beautiful historic hotel in idyllic Lillesand! The breakfast was amazing and the location of the hotel is perfect to exploring Lillesand. We wish we had another day to explore the area.

All rooms are great, you feel like in a museum, a clean one! Rooms are charming. The top apartments are a bit too tight for a claustrophobic person like me ☺️ but all in all is a good place. Restaurant is very good too. 👍

happy to have stayed here - would like to come back again!:)

Quite an unique hotel experience. The furniture and the athmosphere is fantastic, the location is excelent, you can see the harbour and the oldtown by walk. The breakfast was also super. Our room (family room) was also OK, the bathroom was fully renovated, clean and comfortable.

Very clean rooms and common facilities, amazing friendly staff. I would highly recommend this place if you want to visit Kristiansand area, but also want to stay close to nature. Easily reachable by city buses.

Amazing place! The area is beautiful and quiet, with the sea all around. The staff were so helpful. We had a great time and would love to come back. And one more thing — try the sauna on the beach! 👍

It was annoying that we should pay higher amount of money for this 5 star camping and we choosed to have electricity included -and then we still needed to pay 30kr for shower using a QR code and credit card. The same should be done for using the oven to heat water for coffee. 50 kr and everything else using energy. On other 3 stars camping sites we visited this is included. That said, the staff was...

Amazing place, clean rooms, lots of activities for the kids. Kafé has a lot of delicious treats. My favourite was their cappucino and chocolate brownie icecream

It's ok, nothing extraordinary.

Really nice facilities and location. The staff is very friendly and service minded

Really nice and quiet place. Rooms and setting is fantastic - right to the Foss. We will be pleased to get back. Our best tecommendation

The location by the river is superb. The staff is super friendly

Beautiful location, well kept and very clean. Great food, lovely host.

Boen Gård is a historic farm located in the southern region of Norway, specifically in the Setesdal Valley. The farm has a rich history and dates back to the 18th century. Today, it is a well-known tourist destination, offering visitors a glimpse into traditional Norwegian farm life. Boen Gård features traditional wooden buildings, including a farmhouse, barns, and outbuildings. Many of these buildings...

We had a fantastic eight course meal and wine pairing at Boen Gård. The atmosphere is also perfect.

We tried 10 course dinner . Score is 7 of 10. The chef hade some problems with balance the courses . But the servic was impeccable!! Can also say the same about the rooms and facilities. Good and a place I really want to recommend. But be aware the prices is a bit steep. 1 night with 10 course 4 glasses of champagne 7700 Norwegian kroner. Around 760 euro :)
