In Kristiansand for 3 nights for business meetings. Room is decent size for this part of the world. Bathroom was adequate (heated floor is nice) but the shower was a bit cramped. Had a corner room that was overlookinig the marina and not the container cargo area this time, which was nice,. Check-in/check-out was simple and easy. Room was clean.... More

Good business hotel. The rooms are comfortable, clean and adequately sized. The bathroom is large and excellent shower. Beds are fine, extra pillows in the room. There was enough space in the room for a business meeting (three chairs and a table) and the Wi-Fi connection was good. The reception was efficient and helpful. Both check-in and check-out was fast.... More

Stayed for one night early January. Hotel looks outdated from the outside and that impression continues on the inside. By my standards a total renovation is long over due. Room was small and dark. Fluorescent faded lights by the window enhances the outdated feeling. Worn out squeaky bed. The bathroom on the other hand is recently renovated, light and nice,... More

I enjoyed staying at this hotel. I had a real nice view of harbor. Close to walking street and ferry terminal. Nice breeze from ocean. Good breakfast in the morning. I find Norway to be very expensive - my hotel laundry bill at this hotel was $ 161 after sending off one time with very few items I like this... More

Having stayed in many Radisson hotels around the world - and generally expecting a business atmosphere - this one is distinctly different and seems to cater more to families. The first 'give away' is that there is a step ladder in front of the check in counter so the kids can follow what is going on at the reception. Since... More

The rooms from the 70´s were a study of architectural history! If you travel alone and have to pay for a double room, you would not expect a room with 3 beds and 2 babies beds and the bath was for disabled. After changing room still a extra bed on the floor so I could not open the window. But... More

While it is down by the waterfront in Kristiansand, it is also beside an ugly busy container port. No free parking, and pay parking lot is tiny. Checkin and restaurant staff we friendly and efficient. Breakfast was excellent. The rooms.... ugh. They can't have been remodelled in the last two decades. Loud carpets worn furniture. Musty smells every where. Very... More
