The Hotel is well located, with a pleasant atmosphere and a very nice Norwegian breakfast! Reception is warm and the internet (free) is quite good. On the other hand, my room was small as well as the bathroom, but you get what you paid for...

After reading some of the reviews on Tripadvisor, I was a tiny bit "worried" coming here. But after arriving very late (the reception was closed, but was soon manned), we had a friendly and professional welcome. I had a large room on the third floor, with a rather small bathroom - but it was really ok. I liked the touch... More

Thon Hotel Wergeland is located very close to the pedestrian/shopping street, so the location is perfect for a weekend getaway,for shopping, dining, and just walking around in this beautiful city. The room was great, with a huge bathroom, and also an espresso machine in the room. Nice touch! The restaurant at the hotel was closed for the summer ( weird,... More

This hotel is located right in the the city centre of Kristiansand, next to the church. The room was quite small with a small bathroom. Stayed in room 209. A bit dissapointed that the TV does not have all the norwegian channels, and there is no mini bar. Just a nespresso machine. Internet access is fast, 19Mbit pr. second download... More

We stayed in room 215, the double room with the sofa used as a second... More

The past reviews of this hotel are pretty old, and much has changed. I stayed there two nights for business, and pictures of my room confirms that the furniture at least have been replaced, along with the bathroom which also has renewed. I have in mind a reviewer that complained on the interior. True, the building itself is old, and... More

We stayed overnight at this beautiful town on the south coast of Norway. The neighbourhood is quite nice but the Hotel Wergeland is a complete disaster. We got exactly the room shown on the website, but the difference is that the furnitures are outdated and used. The room was dusty and there were electric & TV cables running all around... More
