I enjoyed a good breakfast, a very good bed, good room and it was silent. I had good service and friendly personel that was helpful. The hotel is at a great location and I paid a good price for it. They even got parking below the hotel, but I came by train this trip. Also nice that Thon Hotel have an app you can use to open your room and save points. Even booking.com bookings can be saved when you talk with reception.

I don't like the new showerhead. The new showerhead didn't fit in it's socket so it couldn't be adjusted and kept falling out. The head isn't big enough. I expected more luxury with a rainfall big ceiling shower. And a handshower that can be put on any height and direction. The soap was a bit bland. I'm sure you can get a higher quality spa soap in there with additional soaps, shampoo and creams. I don't mind it and I enjoy my stay either way, but that would make it even better.

Young man at reception was welcoming. Room was clean and modern. Large TV on wall. Breakfast was brilliant with a lots of choices. Loads of cafes, restaurants and shops nearby.

Tea, coffee and electric kettle was high up where you hanged your coat. Two Steps to hotel entrance was not suitable for wheelchair or walking stick users as no handrails. Step up to bathroom in our room is not suitable for wheelchair users. Have to book well in advance if you want underground parking - about a month. No cupboards or chest of drawers in room. We did not need any as we stayed overnight.

This was a simply one-night stopover for us, before boarding ferry to Denmark. The location was convenient and they provided us with a bagged breakfast, since our departure was before breakfast opened. We also arrived on the evening of a very loud 90's rock party on the adjoining block (near the church) so were worried that late night concert noise would be a problem. They happily put us in a room facing the other direction and the noise was not an issue at all.

Parking was not available so I was given directions to another garage. Instead, I parked on the street, as our arrival and departure were outside of the required parking times. This worked out fine.

Easy check-in with friendly staff. We had requested a quiet room and definitely got one. Lots of quirky artwork throughout the hotel made things feel less bland than these types of hotel often do.

The hotel car park was full which meant we had to park in one of the public car parks a few minutes away. Restaurant wasn't open when we arrived. We had to leave early to catch the ferry to Denmark, which meant that we didn't have time to sit down for breakfast - we asked if we could take breakfast with us to eat on the ferry, but were charged extra for this despite breakfast being included with our room.

The breakfast was on average. There is not much variations to be selected, in particular, not so many types of sausages. The location is very good, just a few minutes walk distance to bus stop of airport bus, the Nr.35. The room was quite large.

The curtains in the room were not that good. I could not cover the windows totally. So, it remained quite bright during the night because of the light on street.

We visited this hotel the last time we were in Norway, and when we came back this year, we enjoyed our stay very much again. The beds were pleasant and comfortable. The check-in and the reception personnel themselves were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Breakfast is a full spread of classic continental and Norwegian options. The hard boiled eggs are specifically tasty, and the kitchen is be complimented on their choice and diversity of bread. Beyond that the hotel last nicely in the city center and you can explore Kristiansand, enjoy the wide variety of food the city offers, or take a shopping trip to get weatherproof clothing for the Norwegian spring.

The hotel is located right in the centre of Kristiansand, which makes it easy to visit and find restaurants on foot. The rooms are clean, modern and functional, but lack a view. Great breakfast!

The directions and instructions for the carpark should be much clearer. We (and at the same time many other customers who were on our ferry) lost about 30 minutes driving around and getting our car parked.

Our room was well thought- out, and the hotel has placed ice and drinks machines, irons and boards, at each floor. Breakfast was extensive and the staff very helpful. This hotel is modern, is within walking distance of plenty of shopping and restaurant choices in downtown Kristiansand and I suppose you could even walk there from the ferry.

A tip... If you are arriving by car, parking is at a choice of indoor garages about a block away. Ask the staff how the electronic payment systems work, or have a translator app on your phone.

we liked actually everything. very nice design, excellent location, friendly and helpfull staff at the reception, amazing area behind the reception with coffee self-service and pictures on the wall, breakfast on top of it with variety of food. we enjoyed our stay very much

as we are travelling for 10 days we wanted to spend the last night of our stay again in this beautiful hotel, but increase of a price for double room from 150 EUR per night to 340 EUR per night was too much for us…more than 200%…low season to high season

Nice modern hotel in the city center of Kristiansand. Hotel has private underground parking which can be reserved. Very nice breakfast but not enough seating. We stayed 2 nights and had to leave before breakfast the last night, but the hotel provided a breakfast bag.

Rooms rather small, probably not ideal for a longer stay with more luggage. On the more expensive side.
