My second stay at the Hotell Kong Carl, and even better this time. They have done some work on the entry hall, very attractive. We were upgraded to a historic room at no extra cost, in the main part of the hotel. A lovely room and comfortable at the same time. Very comfortable bed. Modern bathroom with good bath products,...

Our room was in a separate building from the charming Norwegian house which is depicted on the website. It was next to the hotel's parking lot which remained noisy throughout the night. The room was adequate enough but the carpets on the floor and in the hallway were a little dirty. As we had to leave early for the airport... More

Nice receptionist, upgraded us to a "historic room" In spite of the age of the hotel very modern, clean facilities .Free wi fi in the room, free breakfast and delicious complimentary homemade waffles and coffee in the evening. Only negative comments are: no early breakfast, (we had an 8 o-clock flight from Sandefjord Torp airport) and no free parking. We'll... More

Not a modern chain hotel in any aspect but with very good and helpful service. This is a hotel situated in a charming old building with antique furniture and designs. Perfect choice if you like that! We certainly did. Conveniently situated in the center of Sandefjord. We were in our room, having parked our car and checked in, 15 minutes... More

this is a charming hotel right in the middle of center. but when you decide to stay here please remember that this hotel is very old and historic, so dont expect the same fasilities that you would on other newer hotels. We loved to stay here and will come back

I've spent 3 nights at the hotel in a very comfortable room. The breakfast was great and the staff was very helpfull. However the bathroom was very small. The hotel is 5 minutes walk from the centre of town and folks there are very helpful. It is also 5 minutes walks from the trainstation.

This hotel is a small hike from train station but very handy for the centre of Sandefjord itself. From arrival you could tell that this was an old-fashioned place and when we saw our room we both thought it reminded us of staying with grandparents; old furniture, dated fashions etc but ultimately cosy, comfortable and welcoming! Our flight time prevented... More

I love the Kong Karl. It is a 'historic' hotel which perhaps has seen better days, but if you want a taste of what life might have been like in the past then this hotel is for you. It is full of character and you really get a taste of 'old' Norway. If you want something more modern then the... More

I fully enjoyed my stay at the Kong Carl. The staff was extremely helpful, polite, and funny. I felt right at home. Our room was a standard double that was quite spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. I enjoyed the hearty Norwegian breakfast every morning. Having breakfast included in the hotel rate makes a big difference in Norway as... More

We needed to stay over-night near Torp Airport as our Ryanair flight from Edinburgh didn't land till 9pm. I chose the Kong Carl partly because it sounded older and more interesting and partly because it had a family room. It was the first hotel we stayed in during our visit to Norway and it also turned out to be the... More
