Convenient as we needed to get on the feery to Denmark early in the morning. Hotel & food were good. Bartender was not very knowledgeable about anything Norwegian.

Our room was tiny and cramped with basically no lighting. The beds were uncomfortable. The only possible was that the parking was included. Would not stay again

Distance for going to Dyreparken is perfect. We found a half eaten bag of sweets in our bed, makes you wonder if they even changed the sheets before our stay. Property is due for renovations. We got only 1 towel for 3 guests. There could have been more options at the breakfast buffet.

A very busy hotel. A lot of noise at breakfast and dinner. Sometimes chaotic. No chairs in the room. Just a stool. Personel friendly. When I checked in it lasted more than 15 minutes until they had found that I had paid in advance.

Super service
Hotellet hadde super service. Gjennomsnittlig godt renhold. Men verken bedre eller dårligere enn andre hotell i norge. Det som gjorde den store forskjellen og gjorde oppholdet til noe spesielt var service hos personalet. Her kunne mange i servicebransjen i norge dratt på kurs å lært noe av #scandic sørlandet. Takk for fint opphold.

Ok rom, skuffende middag, god frokost.
Helt ok hotellrom, men vi hadde vindu ut mot parkeringsplass og vei, og det var mye støy fra biler med høy musikk ganske sent på natten, og det var slitsomt på tur med barn. Middagsbuffeten var også ekstremt skuffende i forhold til prisen, og sønnen min på 12 år måtte betale voksenpris, selv om han spiser mindre enn datteren min på 8 år. Frokostbuffeten var veldig god.

Meget smalle senge.
Børnenes køjesenge var uden sengehest.
Vores mindste faldt ud af sengen midt om natten.

Gratis parkering rett utenfor.
Flott og praktisk hotell når du er på gjennomreise langs E39. Hyggelig personale og god service! Gratis parkering rett utenfor. Nær flyplass, shopping og dyrepark. God seng.
