A very beautiful hotel but you have to request for non corridor rooms with balconies(rooms facing…read morethe inside of the hotel are bad) as there's no view and fresh air. As for service wise, was disappointed with their bar service - never order cocktails here. Wish the staff would pay more attention in clearing the customers queueing up infront of her than constant chatting with another ex-staff. She even shooed away another staff who offered to help her, i'd prefer having someone else serving me when she is chatting and surfing the web on the recipe to make me the classic old whiskey which taste like crap.

I don't understand how this place has higher reviews. We found it very dirty, the rooms…read moreexceptionally small, he hotel oddly pieced together. I'd give the staff five stars. They were very kind and helpful. But the hotel is nothing special. There are two areas that are beautiful-- the original part of the building. This would be the dining area and a ballroom. Other than that, it's a strange modern design. Location is excellent. Breakfast was excellent. But our room was tiny. So tiny that we could barely open our suitcase on the floor. We stayed at a different hotel a few days later, and we would return to that one if we're ever back in town. Generally, this hotel wasn't a relaxing place to stay. Again, the staff is very kind!

During my visit to Kristiansand I stayed in the the Yess Hotel. It's a budget concept which is a…read morepretty cool as a thought. However, the price isn't that budget which make it hard to real to push a good budget hotel. There is parking but the hotel has very limited amounts of parking spots which has to be reserved in advance. The hotel is located in the city core of the city and within walking distance to most things. The room I stayed in is the smallest room I ever stayed in but nice and clean. The interior is a small shelf in the all a photo wall of a forest a small bedside table and a small bathroom. Small but totally okay. The things that makes it a good hotel to stay at is its very central location in the city core and that it's nice and clean. The breakfast is toast, egg and yoghurt in other words the absolute basics of a breakfast In summary it's a central, clean and okay hotel but I didn't get that value for money that I've expected out of it.

In my opinion it is important to review a hotel based not just on the overall quality of the hotel,…read morebut based upon how well it does what it was designed to do. This is a budget hotel. If I were to compare it to a Ritz Carlton, I would have to give it one star...but it is not trying to be a Ritz Carlton. It is trying to deliver a clean, comfortable room for a very reasonable price. It does a very good job at that. It has a modern, if not a little funky atmosphere. Our room was clean...although the wall paper was torn in a couple of places. The bathroom was tiny...but the room was comfortable and clean. Service was extremely friendly.
