We had a wonderful stay! The hotel is in a fantastic location right in front of the city beach and within walking distance of many popular tourist attractions. One of the highlights was the access to a complex of indoor and outdoor swimming pools located in the same building—made even better by the discount offered through the hotel. We enjoyed both pool areas, especially with the sunny weather during our visit. Breakfast was varied and well-organized, and our room was spotless, spacious, and perfectly suited for a family of three (two adults and a child). Overall, a great experience. Highly recommended!

The breakfast was very good. We got a large room upgrade, but paid extra for very early check-in. Very good idea to offer paid early check-in. The room var large and nice. The location of the place is perfect, with very easy access to the beach and also free use of a gym from an large chain. Nice view to to the sea, and short walking distance to the city centre and to the nice places to see. We will come here again

We have traveled a lot and must admit this is the best breakfast we ever had - eggs were done in many different ways, there were even cooked meals such as beans, you could choose from fish to sweet part (pancakes). Fruit and coffee was everywhere. Family room we stayed in is very comfortable and spatious. We liked the underfloor heating in the toilet. Kids enjoyed table football in the lobby. Personel at the hotel were very polite and helpful (we had some issues with Dyrepark tickets so they assisted us with these), but also in the overall. We will definetly stay again here.

The hotel is very nice, very clean. The family room was perfect with two bunk beds and fantastic view on the titular bystranda. The breakfast was perfect. There even was a wafflemaker with waffles concoction. Perfect, very Scandinavian! What's also great is that the hotel is connected with Aquarama aqua park so you don't have to leave the building when you're going there. You can also lend towels at the reception since Aquarama doesn't provide them.

Lovely experience, we even received a small gift for our dog. Room was clean, big enough for a 3 persons family (i guess for a 4th person would have been kinda small). Very close to the ferry to Denmark and that was super important for us in the morning. From what I have seen, the breakfast looks rich and fabulous as described by others but we had to leave before to catch the ferry. We did receive indeed a breakfast bag but there is no comparison.

A very professional house but at the same time familiar. The restaurant serves very good food, there is a bar and many different places to sit and chat, all made up differently. Breakfast is buffet style with a lot of good things - all you would wish for.

I visit the Scandic Bystranda since many years. It´s always great, comfy and clean. Sometimes, mostly in summer also for Kristiansand overprized. From the hotel it´s easy to walk into the city or harbor and to the restaurants. Breakfast is amazing and everybody will for sure find something. I really liek the hotel.

The hotel was located right by the water, and we had a nice view firm our window. The breakfast buffet was amazing with many great choices. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
