Reviews for First Hotel Kristiansand

Review 1：Make sure you can park in really tight spots!!

Review 2：Lovely spacious modern room with a receptionist who even got us into the best in town fish restaurant that was full so they opened a private dining room for us!! Nothing too much trouble and breakfast a great buffet.

Review 3：Some guests paid for parking, while others were given free parking, just depending upon which receptionist one spoke with. The night-watch person was belligerent (had been drinking), extremely unprofessional (made lewd comments to our spouses) and had invited his friends to hotel for a late-night party. Is it that difficult to get responsible staff in Kristiansand?

Review 4：The reception staff was polite and friendly.

Review 5：Paid for parking at the hotel, but did not get one. Got the money back. They did not inform us that it was free parking in the city in evening/night, so we paid ......

Review 6：Nice rom, and OK breafast. Clean.
