Good for short stay
Rooms were a little dated but rest of property seemed nicer. Amazing breakfast. Not much around the area which was okay as we were just passing through. Street noise was a little loud in room.

Great hotel. Great location. Parking close by. Fantastic breakfast. Had many choices more than all other hotels I've been to. Managed to try most local foods at the breakfast bar. Salmon, liver etc.

The room facing the port was clean and quiet. From the 5th floor the view of the harbor was great. Breakfast was free and provided a rich assortment of food items. My only complaint was the scrambled eggs were improperly made.

Great location and view
Great staff and view from the room. Somewhat outdated facility but clean and comfortable. Amazing old bathtub which I would normally never use but it was great. New towels would help update the feel of the room.

Great location in Kristiansund. Rooms are older but maintained. The breakfast was great and the harbor view of the breakfast room was beautiful. Parking in the deck nextdoor was easy to park in. We had a lovely visit to Kristiansund.

Great stay - great location
Very convenient location with parking (in a very awkward car park); very clean spacious & comfortable room with everything you'd expect. The staff were very friendly & helpful. We borrowed the hotel bikes for free (they weren't the best, but we managed & had fun!) Breakfast selection was one of the best we've had on our 3 week trip. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or book again.

The hotel was in easy walking distance to the free harbour foot ferry and busses. Short bus or taxi ride to airport. Staff were helpful and courteous. Breakfast was great.

Scandic Hotel Kristiansund is a good standard hotel as you might expect from Scandic. Good and helpful staff that really let you feel welcome. Unfortunately there was no air conditioning in the room and it was very warm in Kristiansund. Therefore the nights at the hotel was not as pleasant as we would expect. The staff tried to be helpful to provide fans to make it more pleasant.
Breakfast in the morning made up for the uncomfortable situation during the night.

Nice stay at Scandic!
We had a nice stay at Scandic!
What we liked:
- Reception was friendly
- Great buffet breakfast and lobby
What could be improved:
- Room was a bit dated
- No safe in room
- Shower curtain is to short and not wide enough, therefore, water goes everywhere
- Windows showed be cleaned
- Room can use a paint job and a bit of maintenance

Welcoming
There wasn’t an official parking lot for the hotel, so we needed to walk up 2 flights of staircases. The receptionists were both very helpful and friendly. There was a dry sauna which overlooking the beautiful scenery but we didn’t get to use it. Next time!

Everything is fine. Parking overnight is available with 120 NOK including electric car slow charging. The room has a bathtub instead of a shower cube and it was slippery. The room with water view is not bad. Breakfast is included with choices which seem to be standard across hotels in Norway.

I have stayed at most of the hotels in Kristiansund. This was my first time at the Scandic-Kristiansund. I loved it so much I signed up for their loyalty program. This hotel is a real gem starting with the front desk employees who really care to the incredible bedroom views to a spectacular breakfast. Highly recommended

An old Scandic hotel
The hotel seems to have fallen out of time. The ambiente reminds me of the '80s. It smells old, the rooms are poorly ventilated, and I was disappointed when I arrived.
The hotel offers poor value for 2000 NOK during low season.
