I had a wonderful stay at the Grand Hotel in Arendal, with its charming maritime decor and friendly atmosphere. The breakfast was a standout with its wide variety, and the complimentary evening soup was a nice touch after a long day. The only downside was the rooms being on the smaller side, and the shower was a bit outdated. Overall, it was a great experience, especially with the hotel's central location and helpful staff.
