The Double Room Small is SMALL. You have to be comfortable spending a lot of time up close with your company and belongings (a large suitcase might be difficult to manage, two would require extraordinary patience). With that out of the way, this place is excellent. Fresh and clean. Well thought out details. Extra towels, kettle and other items easily available. Nice and helpful staff. Great location close to the bus and railway stations, and everything Christiansholm has to offer is just a few minutes walk away.
My wife, mother and I stayed here when we visited Kristiansand. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The rooms were clean, comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast which is included as part of the stay is extensive and delicious - Norway takes breakfast way more seriously than the U.S..... Be sure to know which Thon hotel you're choosing - we accidentally ended up at a different Thon property a couple blocks away before realizing our mistake. Also, know that this location has no on-site parking - you'll be directed to a local parking garage 1.5 blocks away. It's an easy walk, but it's probably best to check in, drop off bags, and then go park the car. The location was excellent for us - it's in the city center, right next to the city cathedral (sadly, closed the day we were there) and allowed us an easy walk to the waterside and around the city. It was a busy area on a weekend evening, but the rooms were quiet. All in all, a great place for an evening stay.
This hotel will not disappoint! The room is comfortable, a decent size, and with a comfy bed. Everything is super clean! The breakfast has a lot of variety, more than a lot of 4*s, and there was plenty of it. The best part of my experience however was the customer service. The fella who checked me in was lovely, and when I left personal belongings in my room and only realised when I was already on my way back to Denmark, Ann Margret was my saviour. She was so friendly and helpful and really put me at ease when I was absolutely panicking. Would 100% stay here again!
The positive: Great location for Dyreparken The negative: Nearly the same price as Dyreparken hotel. Food was not great and fruit was often old. I bought two kids packs for our arrival and had to ask at reception because they were forgotten. They were 200kr each and turned out to be a paper bag with 3 types of candy. Price should have been maybe 100kr each. Totally not worth it. Our bed was ready when we checked in but the extra bed had neither sheets nor pillow. Had to track down staff to ask about it. Staff seems stressed and overworked. The hotel seemed very understaffed. Conclusion: Would stay here again if Dyreparken hotel is full. Will definitely not get the kids packs again and will probably not get breakfast or dinner here again.
