8/10 Very good

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.

Fin mellomlanding før Dyreparken

Dette er et hyggelig hotell sentralt i Kristiansand, og passer ypperlig for mellomlanding før Dyreparken. Det er generelt sett ganske gjennomsnittlig, frokosten kunne vært bedre - men det er rent med hyggelige ansatte, og god standard. Vi kommer sikkert tilbake!
