Stayed here for a couple of nights on business and was very comfortable. It's very clean with friendly staff and nice rooms. Each room is personalised to the name of a ship and there are maritime touches everywhere. There are good restaurants around the hotel so you are not short of options although to be honest it's so cold out,... More

If your going stay in Arendal, stay at this hotel. Nice food, nice staff and scenic view.

I've stayed at Tyholmen many times and it's always a pleasure comming back. Service are terrific with friendly and helpful staff. Even though the older part of the hotel is somewhat tired, the rooms are spacious and clean. The newer part is great. View is lovely. Breakfast is very good with lots of varity.

Stayed here for two nights in Oct. 2011 - work-related, alone in room. The location is fantastic with panoramic view of the fjord. The rooms could need a brush-up though, but you can live with the some-what worn rooms due to the fab view. My room was spacious and bright, but I also think I had one of the more... More

Stayed here two times for a total of 6 nights. Breakfast was excellent, and the location and the view from the rooms are great. There's quite a noticeable hum from the AC in the hotel, so ask for a room in the east-wing - it's not so present there. Friendly staff, and good standard.

However, the first impression states this is a building in need of new paint - especially outside, where the old paint is scaling off. At first glance inside, the impression is better - but when looking closer there is... More

We often visit Arendal. We always choose to stay in the Tyholmen hotel! The rooms are as close to the sea as possible with a wondeful view and a cosy, maritime atmosphere within the room in combination with a truly excellent breakfast makes the choice, of this Choice hotel, a must!

Our familiy of five stayed two nights at Tyholmen. The familyroom was nice and clean, the personell was hospitable and best of all - the hotel is located in the middle of Arendal so we had everything we needed just around the corner. The kids loved the breakfast where they even could get pancakes and waffles. Drawback - a little... More

I've stayed in Arendal a few times on business, and I consider this to be the best hotel. it's right on the water's edge with great views. Take a Superior room to get the best view. Rooms are medium-sized, very clean and nicely fitted. The room was quite warm and stuffy, even with the aircon on (it didn't appear to... More
