The hotel was located conventiently near both the train and the ferry terminal. When attempting to check in before 15:00 the desk clerk was extremely rude, interrupting and admonishing me for arriving early before I could even introduce myself. We ended up having to wait until 50 minutes after official check-in time to have access to our room. We booked the Presidential Suite and were very disappointed with it. It was old and dated, with dirty carpet, dusty surfaces and missing both the bathrobes and slippers that were listed as provided amenities. Also, it is very annoying to have a mini-bar but no prices.
There was no telephone in the room so the only way to contact the staff was by going to the front desk and waiting in line. The property is very dated and in serious need of a renovation. In addition, the staff could use a refresher course in customer courtesy.

Nearby water park and zoo (Dreypark) was fantastic, we spent the whole day there. Ferry ride from Lillesand to Kristiansand on the M/B Oya was spectacular, highly recommended to see the coast and small villages nestled among the islands. Book ahead to make sure you get on. We took the ferry one way and then took the city bus back to pick up the cars in Lillesand. Many restaurants to choose from in the downtown area.

Norway is stunning and beautiful.
Norway is stunning and beautiful. Kristiansand is the jumping off point after arriving on the Ferry from Hirtshals, Denmark. The drive along the southern coast is absolutely amazing. I would love to go back.
The hotel is very nice, very clean. The family room was perfect with two bunk beds and fantastic view on the titular bystranda. The breakfast was perfect. There even was a wafflemaker with waffles concoction. Perfect, very Scandinavian!
What's also great is that the hotel is connected with Aquarama aqua park so you don't have to leave the building when you're going there. You can also lend towels at the reception since Aquarama doesn't provide them.
It was fantastic to stay at Thon hotel kriatiansand! Amazing staff! Great rooms with comfortable beds! Great value for our money. And the location was amazing, so close to a shopping streets with amazing restaurants. I absolutely loved it. I recommend taking a kid at stroll! The hotel also made our room special for Valentine’s Day. With chocolate and fruit! And on Saturday the hotel had a donut day, that was a nice surprise, coffee and donuts!
We liked the size of the appartment. It was very comfortable for a familiy with kids. 15 mins to the center with shops and restaurants. The location of the appartment is not especially attractive, no sea view or something but it is nice and quiet. The appartment is clean and everything is in order. The host gave all necessary stuff for the dish washer, washing machine, soap, toilet paper etc...
Warning, this is not a hotel, it is some kind of religious convention center.
Handling of electronic key was bad and unclear.
I would not call it breakfast, but to find the paper bag with a dry white bagel hidden in a fridge in a corner of the hotel was almost impossible. One person of the staff followed me in order to find the fridge but left before we found it..
The location was very good, next to the pedestrian area with plenty of restaurants, also just a short hop to the ferry, breakfast had a very good selection. The parking level had direct access to hotel. Staff were helpful and professional. Room was clean and comfortable. If I was in the area again I would use this hotel
Great location. Super close to the zoo and water park. Close to Abra havn which is some kind of pirate village/hotel, playground for kids. Nice to have a walk after dinner or a morning run. Good food in the restaurant. We had breakfast and dinner both days there.
The location of the hotel was great, with amazing views out over the sea and islands, The beds were comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing - I almost wished we were staying an extra night to try all the things we missed!
Never had so much choice for breakfast before. Exceptional and very fresh. Funky hotel was very quiet but this is end of Jan so not a popular time.
Room nice size, no view to speak of but not there for the view from the room.
Very comfortable stay
BREAKFAST,WAS OK LOTS TO CHOOSE FROM VERY NICE ,GOOD DINNING AREA.
LOCATION, WAS IN THE TOWN SO HAD TO PARK THE CAR IN THE HOTEL CAR PARK WHICH WAS NEXT DOOR TO THE HOTEL ENTRANCE WHICH WORKED FINE.
ROOM, WAS FINE BUT NO PLUG IN THE BATHROOM SINK,
Close to the Dyreparken which was our travel target. Short bus ride to the center - bus stop is just in front of the hotel. Good breakfast with possibility to make a lunch box. Play corner for kids plus outdoor swimming which was not yet open.
A very nice house on the best spot of Norway. No cars, just the sound of birds and the sea. The couple who run this place are the best and loveliest people you can met, we almost didn’t want to leave, but sadly we had to.
The location couldn't be more perfect! Right in the middle of town, with all the shops and restaurants right there around the hotel, and a giant parking garage down below. The rooms were nice and spacious enough.
Very comfortable rooms in this hotel and the staff is very friendly and accommodating.
Location is very convenient, especially when taking the ferry in the early morning.
I was given a complimentary take out breakfast because I had a very early departure. The staff ordered a taxi for me. The room was comfortable and clean.
