This hotel lived up to my expectations. It's centrally located in Mandal, just in the middle of the old town. The building itself is quite old, but it's been maintained well.
Checkin went smooth at the bar of the restaurant. Two minutes after attending I was in my room already. The room is clean, well maintained and has everything one expects. Just a tiny detail: a reading light near the bed would have been fantastic.
My stay included wifi: fast and reliable. Just a note: check the Norwegian site of the poster in your room for the password, as it has been translated to English there, and the English variant doesn't work of course.
Breakfast was included. It was simple, but everything was there and everything was fresh. The bread was still warm, even.
Staff was professional, friendly and helpful.
All in all, I got a good stay and I definitely will be back next time when visiting this city.
