    We celebrated our wedding there, and the setting was incredibly good. It was very cold that evening, and unfortunately, they had too few heaters and blankets for everyone. The food was fantastic, and they managed to serve good, warm food despite an incredibly long wedding. At the open bar during the after-party, they cleared my drink several times when I had barely touched it, which was not good for the final bill. Despite this, they get 5 stars.

      A small hotel with a high standard. We booked the superior suite, and although it was a bit expensive, it was worth every penny. The bathtub was large and fantastic. The service was exceptional, from the reception to the restaurant. We were very happy with our stay and highly recommend the hotel for couples and families looking for a quiet yet central hotel in Kragerø.

          Great hotel, good service, and good food. Very central! Lovely backyard. Deducting one star due to the price, relatively expensive, and there's a "fan/motor" that hums, starts, and stops right outside the window.
