I was thrilled with my stay at the hotel. The room was beautifully decorated and faced the charming church in the heart of Arendal. However, it could get a bit loud during the jazz fest. The service was very pleasant and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was superb, right in the city center with a lovely outdoor balcony offering great views towards the water. The dining experience was just fantastic, especially on the top floor with various delicious options. Overall, it was a great value for money.

The hotel is in a superb central location, close to the action in Arendal. The rooms are well-equipped with convenient amenities, although lacking air conditioning which made the room uncomfortably warm in the sunshine. The service was consistently friendly and accommodating, except for a minor issue with refusing a fix. The dining experience was lovely, offering various options in a top-floor setting with a nice view. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
