  • Cozy and tidy room. Excellent bed. Very good breakfasts. There is a parking lot, but we didn't used it. Friendly staff that always ready to help. Just a few minutes walk from train station. Rooms with a sea view should be amazing

  • :) Excellent room, fantastic city view, very good breakfast, excellent dinner at Grenseløs restaurant. :( No free car parking for guests. Good value for money. Highly recommend this hotel and also their restaurant (Grenseløs).

  • Absolutelt one of the best business hotels I have ever stayed at! Clean and spacious rooms! The location is superb, close to the best restaurants and bars! In the lobby they have a small shop for this who either lost their luggage or just want to by a gift maybe? They have all you need in your cabin luggage and then some…! The skybar on the top floor has nice drinks and a lively atmosphere, recommend it! And Breakfast has a Good variaty for every taste :)

  • "Excellent hotel in very nice area"

  • tripadvisor rating 5.0

  • The rooms are extremely clean and have a modern design. The floor to ceiling windows offer quite a view. The surroundings are nice, very close to a recreational area and marina. The city center and main shopping street are 2 minutes away. Parking is at reasonable rates. On the negative side: there is no coffee machine in the hotel room (I brought my own Nespresso) - just a water cooker and instant coffee. The fitness room is rather on the simple side, located in an unattractive basement. You need to choose the time slot for breakfast at check-in, and the breakfast can be quite crowded. We experienced 10 minutes waiting time to get a seat.

    • Dear Norbert H, Thank you so much for your amazing review of Radisson Blu Caledonien. I highly appreciate your feedback and I am delighted to know that you had a great time here with us. The feedback regarding the breakfast, lack of coffe machine and the fitness room will be taken in consideration and hopefully we may improve the service we provide. The time slot for breakfast is highly necessary when the hotel is fully occupied due to the amount of seats, especially in the summer time. Some of the hours will be more engaged by guests than others. I hope to see you return to us during your next visit in Kristiansand. Best regards Mats B. Hammervoll Front Office Manager
