Old world Nordic charm
A small and charming hotel. Parking is a bit of an issue as it's offsite. Room was small but clean. Lousy view of a rockface. But comfortable. Choose it as it's on way to Torp Airport. Solid. Pretty. But lacks a wow factor

Business trip
One night stay for business - arrived late and left early although the TV/Wifi facilities were excellent. Breakfast menu looked pretty good even though I did not have the opportunity to sample the food itself. Parking was somewhat expensive but to be expected given the lack of available spaces

Charming town, charming hotel
Not only was the hotel clean and well cared for, it is in a perfect location in Grimstad. A short walk from the marina area , it is in the heart of the little shopping area which is lovely. The staff was more than friendly. My trip to Norway took me to 8 different hotels. This one was by far, the best. The morning breakfast was great and the staff made it even better as they were helpful and efficient. I highly recommend this hotel.

Impressed, please and would stay there again!
A bit hard to find the hotel location in the crowded center of Grimstad (narrow streets, small sidewalks, and tight corners), but after we did, the location was great with views of the harbor and within walking distance of all the sights and shopping. The hotel is located just a short walk up the hill to a historic church where there is an even better panoramic view. The room was the best we had in two weeks of traveling around Norway. Comfortable, clean and modern. Our room had skylights for view and they opened for a nice sea breeze. Breakfast was included; fresh and varied selections with something for any taste. The hotel was clean and well maintained from what we could gather during our short visit. Finding parking for our rental car in the downtown was the only drawback. You could pay and park in a few spaces under the hotel or find a space outside the front door among many more spaces, which were free for overnight parking from about 6 PM until 9 AM. Parking was limited to 1 hour (also free) during the day. We had no problem finding a space on the evening we arrived (end of May before the real tourisdt season) but it might not be so easy if the shops are open late during a busy time. We did not place many demands on the hotel in our short stay, but would certainly stay there again. All four of us (two American couples) loved it.

Veldig hyggelig hotell, med utdatert baderom.
Badet var veldig lite og bar preg av tidens tann. Veldig utdatert og såpass slitt at både dusj og toalett fremstod litt udelikat.

Kjipt og slitt hotell, gikk opp på takterassen og det var ekstremt lite innbydende. Det var ikke mulig å få frisk luft inn, da vinduet var til til en innbygget gård.
