The staff was friendly and quick, but the hotel entrance was hard to find in the dark because it was moved and there inadequate lighting and signage. The room was clean, but it was TINY and had no room for our suitcases. The bed was also and old spring mattress that sagged in the middle. We stayed only one night because it was close to the airport, so it was bearable but I will not return.

This is my second time staying at this hotel. The convenience to Dyreparken cannot be beat! We had all of our breakfasts and dinners at the hotel and were not disappointed. The table agreed that that their coffee machine is great! We even had a emergency happen while at the hotel with our two year old getting injured while at the hotel (not the hotel's fault, just an accident) and the hotel staff was amazing! Many people on staff jumped in to help along the way, and two of them even offered to drive me and my son to the emergency room since my husband was away from the hotel at the time. When we got back to the hotel after my son getting a few stitches the dinner staff checked in on us again and made sure everything was okay. I cannot say enough nice things about the staff! Regarding the rooms, they have everything you need. The bunkbed rooms are more fun because they are more themed, but we had no issues with cleanliness, or anything like that. Would definitely recommend staying here, and will be back again again some time in the future.

Restaraunt is super expensive, was a buffet style meal, i side the park is similar

Amazing Hotel, Staff are very friendly and helpful! Next to the Safari Park, I couldn't visit as I was travelling for business so arrived late and left early for the Airport but will definitely visit again. Amazing for families but I felt very comfortable and welcome as a lone traveller. Very Clean.

SMALL ROOMS

Property was under renovation while I was there but still an excellent stay. And what could be better than right next door to a zoo, an adventure park, and a singing pirate ship that goes right past your room if you get one overlooking the water! I had a great time. The breakfast is also wonderful!

Good for small kids

To be completely honest. I don't think the bunk bed is apropriate and safe for kids above 9 years old. Unless they have a small complexion. My 13 year old had half of his legs out. And I was too afraid for my 8 year old to turn around and fall from the higher bunk bed level in the middle.of the night. Otherwise I lived the location as you are just next door to Dyreparken entrance and it has its perks. Enjoy the some animals sleep (zebras, ostriches, jirafes, okapies) as they mingle at the yard next to the hotels entrance. Buffet very accomodating. Restaurant and bar have a nice bive. And souvenir store has lots to offer. Book in advance and plan to enjoy several days as it is quite Disney style ;)

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. So many kids were running, spanking doors and screaming. w We could hear reception and the kitchen and everything outside, including what appeared to be a loading dock. People were smoking right outside so we had to close our window but because there was no temperature control we slept with ice. Iasked a our the noise abd they saix there is nothing they can do until 11pm when quiet hours started. The kitchen/ loading dock stayed at 6 am leaving little time to sleep. We used noise canceling headphones but they barely took the edge off the noise At a minimum they should not rent the room we were in but guessing since they didn't offer to move us the entire hotel needs better sound proofing.

Expedia noted this as a hotel close to the Kristiansand airport. They did not mention it was a zoo/pirate themed park. I was travelling for work without my family, so it wasnt a big deal, but this would have been a huge selling point if my kids were in tow. Great hotel, good buffet restaurant, and it is indeed close to the airport. I hope i can bring my family back to enjoy the park.

Nære dyreparken

Veldig bra opphold i Dyreparken

God variert frokost, men det er vel å forvente til den prisen

Bra utvalg på frokosten for både barn og voksne. Sist gang jeg var der, het det Noas ark og så helt annerledes ut, så det var en total annen opplevelse både inni og utenpå, bare baksiden var den samme. Veldig bra oppgradering, men likte det forrige navnet bedre. Flott rom med stor balkong, noe bråk fra motorveien, men ikke plagsomt

Vi kommer alltid tilbake til samme hotell når vi besøker dyreparken, så åpenbart er vi fornøyd :) Har egentlig ikke noe spesielt dårlig å komme med, annet enn at rommene er veldig små. Opplever rommene som rene og de ansatte hjelpsomme i resepsjonen. I restauranten opplevde jeg litt dårligere service og humør, men utvalget av mat både for voksne og barn, samtidig alternativer for oss som ikke spiser kjøtt synes jeg er bra! :)

Bra frokost men dyrt

Flott opphold. Fint rom og kort vei å gå til dyreparken.

Personalet er og blir de mest fantastiske jeg har vært med om, alle sier hei og alle er så imøtekommende!

Fint med gratis parkering, kveldsåpen park for gjester, gangveg til til abra havn og tidlig og egen inngang. Dette var verdt prisen. Skittent rom med flekker på speil og hår i senga og matsmuler i kjøleskap. Bufeen var ok men vi ble syke etterpå av maten.

Pass på hva du betaler før du betaler. Hadde en situasjon hvor jeg betalte ca. 2500 kr for mye og de finner ikke igjen kortet jeg betalte med i sine egne systemer. Og ellers spør etter kvitterings
