I love the Kong Karl. It is a 'historic' hotel which perhaps has seen better days, but if you want a taste of what life might have been like in the past then this hotel is for you. It is full of character and you really get a taste of 'old' Norway. If you want something more modern then the... More

I fully enjoyed my stay at the Kong Carl. The staff was extremely helpful, polite, and funny. I felt right at home. Our room was a standard double that was quite spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. I enjoyed the hearty Norwegian breakfast every morning. Having breakfast included in the hotel rate makes a big difference in Norway as... More

We needed to stay over-night near Torp Airport as our Ryanair flight from Edinburgh didn't land till 9pm. I chose the Kong Carl partly because it sounded older and more interesting and partly because it had a family room. It was the first hotel we stayed in during our visit to Norway and it also turned out to be the... More

Following the good reviews from tripadvsor I chose this hotel due to an early flight from Torp. I paid 126 euros for a standard room in the dependance wing. It was extremely noisy, both for traffic noise from outside road, both from inside for plumbing and flushing noise from neighbouring rooms and from ceiling. The toilet was comparable to a... More

The hotel is very old. .You can hear all noise from the neighbour rooms. Bath room in standard room is substandard While we were there a group young men/footballteam stayed there. They kept us from sleeping until 2.a.m. The owner of the hotel must decide to run a quality hotel or a youth hostel. More

We were on a late Ryanair flight to Torp and thought it would be a good idea to stop at Sandefjord when we arrived so we could still enjoy the night (Oslo is 1.45hr train journey, Sandefjord is 6mins). The rooms are cosy and the hotel is pituresque, we found the staff friendly and helpful (we got a restaurant recommendation... More

We stayed here one night, and this hotel is one of the worst I've ever stayed in. The beds were worn down and uncomfortable, as were the bed sheets. The bathroom was worn, and from the looks of it, hasn't been renovated since the 1980's. Apparently, there was some sort of event going on that night, as there was quite... More

What a great experience this was. Friendly staff, ready to answer all your questions 24/7, nice and clean rooms and a very nice conference room attached. If you even consider having a board meeting in a nice and cosy environment, this is your recommendation. More

Stayed in Kong Carl for one night with my parents and 22 year old sister. Kong Carl is located centrally in Sandefjord and an easy 5-10 minute walk from the train station - as well as everything in Sandefjord. The hotel had a cozy feel, and staff were very accommodating and friendly. Our room was large with a pull out... More

We spent two nights with a group of 21 people travelling from Ireland to Sandefjord and we were pleasently surprised to find this cosy and homely hotel in the centre of the city. The staff were very friendly and helpful and extended the type of service you would expect from any top range hotels. If we were to go back,... More
