I had a very good experence with Radisson blue in Kristiansand. Only one thing was they should've changed my towel and watched the cups when they cleaned my room. Other than that, everything was very good.

Budget hotel with a budget! : Terrible bed, small room and dirty remote control!

Reviewed By StainawarijaR

Yess Hotel in Kristiansand is part of the Best Western brand. The pictures posted at the Hotels.com website made me book this hotel. It is a budget hotel, yess!, but that does not mean that the comfort need to be uncomfortable. The bathroom is super small, almost not possible to move around. Cleanliness was ok. - The bed was absolutely terrible. If I am not mistaken they are using IKEA mattresses. If you have back problems I urge you to book another hotel! The hotel advertises on their website: "Vi kaller oss lavprishotellet med glimt i øyet og vi fokuserer på skinnende rene rom, deilige senger og god frokost". The breakfast buffet is very limited, but you will find freshly baked bread. You will find the basics, no more. As far as I could see, they did not focus to much about Covid and the need for extra cleaning. The remote control was super dirty, see enclosed picture. When I see a dirty remote control I start to question the overall cleanliness. The super positive thing about this hotel is for sure their staff. They provide excellent service! Summary: - Budget hotel - Terrible beds - Not very clean rooms - Pictures posted on Hotels.com does not reflect what you get! - Basic breakfast - Super friendly staff!

Average ‘chain’ hotel.

Reviewed By Paul M

I booked this at very short notice for 1 night in the run up to Christmas as corona started to gain momentum once more. Parking has to be in the parking house opposite, where isn’t wasn’t easy to find a space. Not the hotels fault it was full of Christmas shoppers, but something to consider. Check in went well and then up to the room in the one working elevator. The room was small, but tidy and the temperature control didn’t work which meant having to leave the window open. It would have also been nice if the cleaners had emptied the bins instead of leaving the last occupants rubbish in. Getting a meal wasn’t possible as no restaurant but plenty of options in the streets nearby. In summary, not the greatest hotel experience ever, but OK for what I needed.

Super friendly and perfectly suitable for dog owners

The hotel is located off the busy city centre, near the motorway, easy to reach. For us the best things were the extraordinary breakfast and the nice forest directly adjacent to the hotel, where we could walk the dog so nicely.

Very nice hotel with a great location

Reviewed By Hinduska

We booked a simple hotel room with breakfast for a 5 nights stay. The room was small and bed was not comfy us and there was no balconyb. We upgraded to a flat room without breakfest and it was very comfy and perfect. The small room maybe would be ok for a shorter stay. The breakfest was ok. Very nice and professional reception. My only complain is restaurant. We tried it once and ordered burges, it was not good, nobody asked us how much we would like it to fry - rare, medium ,well done, it was just bread, meat and piece of salad - no veggies, no pickles, no sauce - a disaster.

Dirty room

Not the room we had booked

Reviewed By 674keldl

We arrived late from Denmark. We had made a reservation for a double room. The room we got was not at all like the one on the photos on Hotels.com. Next morning we confronted the front desk with this. The manager was called and she explained, that due to a renovation project they had converted some one bed room into two bed room. She appologized and gave us a compensation on NOK 350 per night. So far so good. But… They should had contacted us in advance to give us the opportunity to cancel the reservation, or they should had told us this when we checked in. This is very bad custumer service, and I wonder if I can trust Thon Hotels in the future?
