March trip to Arendal

Very enjoyable stay in Arendal. View from our room could not be matched most anywhere. Breakfasts were exceptional. While Arendal is a little off the beaten path a stay is worth the effort.

Utmerket hotel med et stort minus.

Utmerket hotel med deilig frokost. Skyvedøren mellom bad og soverom/oppholdsrom har en så stor glipe at form for privatliv på badet er umulig. Håpløs løsning med skyvedør.

Fin opplevelse

Deilige senger. Dårlig trykk i dusjen. Dårlig fungerende aircondition i den gamle delen. Fin beliggenhet på bryggen. Enkelt med parkering i eget parkeringshus. Bra frokost. Dårlig mørkleggingsgardin, altfor lyst på rommet med barn

Imponert

Veldig bra. Reiste med mann og to barn. Vår sønn har cøliaki, vi sendte mail på forhånd om muligheter for tilrettelegging til frokost og ble utrolig imponert over hvor opplevelse de gav vår sønn på fem år. Utrolig fin beliggenhet med gangavstand til det vi ønsket å se. Veldig fin utsikt fra familierommet.

Bestilte reisen på Hotels.com - Rommet svarte ikke til billedet på nettsiden - Bestilt rom med 2 enkeltssenger - fikk rom med dobbeltseng og litt dårlig overmadrass - Parkeringsmulighet på hotellet kunne vært bedre

SENTRALT: Et fint hotell midt i sentrum helt nede ved sjøkanten. Skuffet over smal seng og lite rom. God frokost, men svært dårlig grillmeny fredag kveld. Ribbe, pølse eller kylingburger var svært dårlig utvalg. Torsdag hadde vi flott middag et sted i Pollen! Vi kommer gjerne tilbake, Arendal er en vakker by!

Fint hotell, sentralt ved sjøen

Fint hotell,ingen i resepsjonen da vi kom, måtte vente en god stund etter at vi plinget. Fikk et lite rom, men fin utsikt og minibar på rommet. God frokost, men baconet var nesten rått. Kostet 200 for en ekstra time med sein utsjekk, fra 11-12.
