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.

Nydelig frokost - regnet inn på terrassen

Ikke store rommet, men helt greit for en natt. Rent og fint og heldigvis tregulv og ikke tepper! Veldig stort utvalg til frokost! Nam! Regnet mye da vi var der og det regnet inn på terrassen ved frokostsalen. Sa ifra og da ble puter fjernet, men her trengs vedlikehold.
Utsikt fra rommet. Vannet renner uten å havne i takrenne!

Sentralt hotell, fine rom og god kundeservice

Hadde et fint opphold hos Thon Arendal. Sentralt hotell og fint rom i stille omgivelser. God frokost og nydelig utsikt fra frokostsalen. Opplevde også suveren servicen fra de ansatte. Min kollega hedde f.eks. glemt sin mobillader og fikk låne resepsjonistens private lader over natta. Det var utrolig hyggelig gjort. Eneste jeg savnet var litt bedre hodeputer, men jeg er muligens litt kresen.
