Top Arendal Hotel Reviews

Clarion Hotel Tyholmen Arendal

Clarion Hotel Tyholmen Arendal

8/10 Good
"The room was generally quite nice. In the bathroom, it was unfortunate that the shower did not have a glass door since the water easily splashes out onto the bathroom floor. The breakfast was wonderful! The construction in front of the hotel building was inconvenient and sometimes the entrance walk was muddy. We also rented a parking space in the hotel garage and there were not many spaces available, but too much construction supplies stored in the garage."

"A cute little place - reminded me more of a hostel than a hotel as there was no lobby and the free tea/coffee in the morning was by a communal sink with a sign requesting quiet time after 10pm. Good location close to everything / comfy bed plus they let us check in early and a nice late checkout of 12pm was appreciated."
