Nice hotel but always a little too warm!

I stay here quite regularly for work and usually dread the summer months as this hotel can be quite stuffy at night. Fortunately the weather was crap for my recent visit but it's still far to warm in the rooms for a good nights sleep. For info, the temperature controls do nothing - AC is turned off in all rooms. Aside from that, the hotel is a very good standard with clean rooms and good facilities (breakfast is excellent)

Sentral beliggenhet i Arendal sentrum. Greit med parkeringshus i nærheten og Kiwi rett ved siden av. Fantastisk frokost. Deilig å kunne sitte oppe på takterrassen både på kvelden og til frokost.

Fornøyd!

Veldig fornøyd. Fikk et stort fint rom. Frokosten har hatt et større utvalg før, samt at kaffemaskinen var i ustand. Skulle gjerne hatt en cappuccino til frokost, men den økologiske kaffen de serverte var veldig god. Fornøyd med renhold og service. Kommer gjerne igjen.

Kjempefint hotell.

Veldig stort og fint rom. Det er er et hotell med det lille ekstra, som shampoo flasker på badet, minibar, liten kaffemaskin osv. kjempegod frokost. Man får litt følelse at man er på ferie.
