We loved this charming hotel in an even more charming town. The breakfast was great. There are lots of shops just outside the front door and the parking garage is literally next door. Don’t miss the chocolatier, Heimdal, just down the street. Highly recommend.

When we questioned this, she gave us a much large

The girl at the desk when we checked in was totally confused about our reservation. She told my husband that she had found it and when I went in to get more information on the room she asked me to pay for it. After 30 minutes she finally figured out the problem and gave us a room key. I had signed up for a superior double room and she originally gave us a room just big enough for the bed. When we questioned this, she gave us a much larger room that was what I thought I had ordered. She apologized profusely but it was not a real pleasant experience.

Greit hotell.

Vi var veldig fornøyd med rom, seng og aircondition. Fornøyd med renhold. Frokostbuffeen var helt grei - veldig godt brød. Savnet en lampe ved sittegruppen. Et minus var dusjforheng på badet, noe som føles uhygienisk. Såpedispenser ved vasken var nesten tom v/ankomst. Ved avreise kunne ikke heis benyttes, så det ble mange trapper ned med bagasje fra fjerde etasje.

Hyggelig opphold, var på Canal street. Flott lokalisjon og hyggelig betjening. Veldig hjelpsomme. Litt trafikkstøy på natta men alt i alt en god opplevelse. Kan anbefales.

Måtte selv sørge for påfyll av kaffe og toalettpapir. Lampen ved seng hang og slang kun i ledningen. Dette bør rettes opp og fikses.

Andre oppholdt på dette hotellet. En liten nedtur fra forrige opphold, da fikk vi større rom og mer toalettartikler enn nå. Senga var også noe liten/godt brukt = mindre komfort. Men alt i alt, et koselig hotell midt i sentrum av Arendal. Frokost og kveldsmat var snadder. Kommer sikkert tilbake.

Koselig hotell. Har vært her tidligere også. Liker veldig dårlig dusjforheng som klistrer seg til kroppen. Suppe til kvelds er greit, men ikke blomkålgrøt! Eggerøre varmet i micro som er fra frokost? Sløyf den heller. Støvsuger i gangen to døgn er ikke særlig pent! Veldig gode senger, men en liten pute blir litt for dårlig. Koselig og blid betjening.
