Welcome to Kristiansand! Southern Norway’s sunny sweetheart, where charming wooden houses, buzzing harbors, and white-sand beaches come together in one coastal gem. It’s a hit with families—thanks to attractions like Dyreparken (Norway’s most beloved zoo and amusement park), cozy boat trips, and ice cream by the pier. Whether you're exploring the colorful Old Town, splashing at the beach, or meeting a lion or pirate for the day, Kristiansand serves up summer fun with a salty breeze and a smile.

All you need to know

Check-in is from 15:00, and check-out time is 12:00. If you want to stay a little longer, let us know. You can stay (by request) until 14:00 for free in a double room if you are a Citybox Friend. If you want to stay even longer, you’ll, unfortunately, need to pay for another night as we need time to clean the room before the next guest. You can store luggage with us outside of these hours in our luggage room in the lobby.

Regional bus: This will take you to the hotel in about 40-50 minutes. Get off at Tollbodgata Q, and the hotel is a 7-minute walk away.

Taxi: The taxi queue is right outside the airport and will take you to the hotel in about 20 minutes, depending on traffic. The prices will vary, so asking for a fixed price is smart.

Ridel: Ridel is a more affordable taxi service offering only electric cars. Download their app and use the discount code CITYBOX when ordering to get a 10% discount.

We do recommend choosing regional bus or Ridel for a more sustainable travel.

Yes! Our luggage storage is open for all guests before check-in and after check-out. Simply use the terminals to get a keycard for the luggage room. Please note that luggage is stored at the guest’s own risk. And as always, if you need help ask our hosts at the hotel!

Breakfast is not included. Coffee and snacks can be purchased at the vending machines in the lobby. We also have a guest kitchen equipped with a microwave oven and kettles, so you are able to prepare your own breakfast.

If you’re craving something else, we recommend that you check out our “The Guide” or ask one of our amazing host for their best tips.

Yes. To comply with local regulations, all guests must present a valid photo ID when checking in. This is a standard requirement for hotels and accommodation providers and applies at all Citybox hotels.

The ID verification process is quick and easy! Simply scan your ID at our self-service check-in terminal upon arrival.

If you need to wash your clothes, there is a self-service laundromat located on the same level as the lobby, next to the guest kitchen. Washing detergent is included in the price, card payments only. The price is 75 NOK for washing and 75 NOK for drying. Open from 09:00 to 21:00.
