Its my second time in the hotel. I would say it is near to where I needed to be but in Arendal everything is near....Lovely hotel. Fab without being pretentious, breakfast to die for (best we've had in Norway), views are fantastic, rooms uber comfy. Bath is spotless and well heated...All in call - a winner on all fronts. Oh...and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Amazing breakfast! We loved the pancakes, the smoothies, and the booster juices. Plus all the rest! The location was so handy to walk around town, and the parking (although we had to pay both day and night, was very close by and convenient).

There are many beautiful towns on the coast.
There are many beautiful towns on the coast. I wouldn't go back to Arendal. The restaurants are not childfriendly, and the town was much dirtyer than others we have visited. Id choose a different town. Mandal, Grimstad, Lillesand are all much nicer.

A lovely smalltown harbour with labyrinthine lanes...
A lovely smalltown harbour with labyrinthine lanes meandering up the slopes, old wooden houses with gardens. Its place in world history: Trotsky had a short stay here while on the run from Stalin - and the underwater telegraph cable from Norway to England went into the sea from Arendal, so during the invasion in 1940, German troops swiftly arrived in town to cut the cable.
Fantastic location on side of fjord. Very modern and comfortable interior. Lovely outside seating although we only used it one day due to the weather. Good area to explore. Arendal is only a few minutes away by car and has lots of shops and restaurants. We also used the historic passenger ferry which only takes 6 minutes and runs all day late into the evening but is a pleasant 30 minute walk from the boat house. The host, Arild met us on arrival to show us where to park and show us the property.
The cleanliness was really good, the fridge and kitchen were nicely cleaned and all rooms had been cleaned before we arrived. There are also towels etc. which you can borrow so you don't have to bring your own, it's very nice. We have had a nice view of the entire Arendal with sun as metioned in the title :D. The hosts have shown real hospitality and have been easy to get in contact with and they also reply very quickly regarding questions, so we were happy and recommend this to others going.
Nice hotel in great location. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Even a light dinner is served at night.
TV was utilized with a chromecast - nice to be able to stream from your own devices if you can't understand Norwegian TV.
Arendal was unexpectedly nice (we only stayed here to complete our journey to the Ferry in Kristiansand) and we really enjoyed this town. If you have kids, make sure to stop at the floating pool in the marina!
Excellent location in the city center. Excellent bed. The hotel is unstaffed and self-service, but the owners are around frequently and very friendly. Breakfast is a very simple but fresh and tasty lunch box (sandwich ham/cheese/lettuce, bottle of orange juice) delivered to the room. It is the same every day. Fresh coffee and tea were also available.
We had just got off a tall ship having been on board for 3 weeks and awake on watch from 4 am . We walked up the hill to the hotel and we’re exhausted and should have been too early for check in. We were delighted to be shown to a room and an amazing powerful shower and soft bed!! Slept so well
I have stayed at the Tynholmen many times. It is an excellent hotel and very well positioned. The breakfast is excellent and the staff really freindly. The rooms that overlook the fjord are amazing
Size of the room, size of bathroom, breakfast and breakfast room, great roof top seating, it was a great experinece staying at the hotel. We will return to enjoy the beaufiful hotel
Good Thon hotel with all the facilities and options you could expect from it. They have a nice little bonus that if you visit fitness then you get a protein bar for that :)
This is a very Nice apartment, close to the city centre of Arendal (ça. 10 minutes walking). The apartment is spacious and well equiped. There is free parking on site.
