One of very few hotels where you can book for a family of FIVE, without having to get a big suite.
Two connecting rooms with bunk beds for 3 in one room, and a double bed in the other. You'll find hotels with more luxury than this one, but the reasonable price and the room structure makes this our number one choice in the area. Receptionless, but plenty of information and no problem with communication.

Manageable for backpackers only
For 1100 kr, it was an extremely small and conjusted room. Bed was foldable and had springs which could be felt while sleeping. Claustrophobic for me.
The room still has trash from the previous stay. Pizza and burger take away boxes under the stairs up to the bunk bed.
Could also invest in some better pillows and blankets.
As in description small but efficient room for three. Crowded with small space for luggage. Right in center of town. Breakfast can be preordered, but I’ll say it is better to buy some ready to eat in the food store Kiwi next to the church. No reception, but system with code for access works fine.
Veldig små rom/seng . Lite men ok bad. Heilt fint for 1 eller 2 overnattinger

Clean and basic. Shell of a wardrobe had on 2 hangers. Had a power cut for about 30 minutes. Upgraded to a double bed which was great but only had one pillow and a single quilt. No tv or kettle.

90 cm from bed to ceiling.
The photo on the ad on hotels.com does not represent the room. the photo was of a king size bed, but the actual room was a bunk-bed in a capsule. Needless to say i didnt read the ad well enough, but the misrepresenting photo made up for the confusion. Would not recommend to stay here in a capsule.
Vi trivdes godt på hotell Arendal. Det var rent og fint og romslig. Litt tungvint at man må ut av hotellet for å spise frokost, og den var ikke noe å skryte av. Allerede søndag var de tomme for lettmelk (hadde bare H-melk) og fremdeles mandag morgen så hadde de ikke fått tak i. Når man vet at det er søndagsåpne butikker i byen er dette en kurant sak å fikse. For meg som drikker melk til frokost var det en dårlig opplevelse. Eggene virket som de var kokt kvelden før og havregrøten såg ut som det samme (den fristet ikke). Så her kan man gjøre litt for at gjestene kan få en bedre opplevelse.
Trykket i dusjen var elendig, noe vi er vant til i båt eller når vi er på reise utenlands. Men i Norge forventer jeg trykk i dusjen. For oss med litt lengde på håret var det håpløst å få ut såpa... Men bortsett fra dette så hadde vi et fint opphold på hotellet, og ville nok ha valgt det igjen hvis vi skal til Arendal!

Utrolig deilig og svalt rom, når det kokte ute.
Bakhagen, som vises i annonsen, finnes ikke på hotellet, men er i bakevja, på street-food stedet hvor frokosten ble servert. Der var det absolutt ingen som satt. Tungvint å komme til.
Frokosten var så som så......
Hotellet er et rom, rett og slett. Ikke noe mer. Rommet var helt ok. Funksjonelt og bra.
