Dear Russel,Thank you for your kind review!We wish to welcome you again in the future!Best regards,Hotel Kong Carl
Excellent hotel, very cosy. Our rooms were lovely and each one unique. Had a standard family room which was very spacious with a seating area & also a premium room.Staff friendly and breakfast was amazing!! Would stay again.
The rooms are not that well maintained. We were in a building next to the main building, our room was directly facing the parking slots, it was noisy and we didn't had any privacy. Breakfast was great and the guy at the reception the second day was very nice and helped us to get a cab to the airport
There was a very functional welcome at check-in with little warmth - unusual for Norway. Out bedroom was right next to the back door of the bar/reception which turned out to be the smokers corner. Failing that the hotel was well located in a lovely town.
Absolutely loved our stay here! The check in was wonderful, spacious room and very cozy and welcoming atmosphere! Loved that it was preserved but also had some modern amenities! There is a close by perfect pizza place and also a corner bar if you’d like to watch soccer and have some friendly conversation! All in area speak English so that helps if you scheduled a last minute trip and didn’t have time to brush up on the basics of their language! Would definitely go again!
Very good hotel. Nice room. excellent service and prima breakfast.

Not as good as hoped.
Unique hotel with character. Clean and tidy, close to city centre and airport makes it a good location for business travel. Room 209 is outdated but I believe some rooms have been given a make over. On the night i stayed there was a party in the room across from me which continued until 1am. I asked to be moved due to early morning flight and reception staff were unhelpful commenting 'is it really that noisy' I was also told that occupants can party until 2am, unsure if this is correct. On reflection I may have been unlucky with my neighbours but personally wont stay here again. If you do I would swerve room 209.
Kong Carl was a nice, central hotel with a great breakfast. With no elevator it was challenging with a stroller. However we got a big room which helped.

Old & rundown
The hotel was so incredibly run down and freezing. The hotel Breakfast was an absolute disgrace and they should be ashamedof them selves. To think that this is part of unit hotels is horrific
It’s central, it’s historic it’s easy to get to & 15minutes to Torp Airport. The breakfast is beautiful with a fantastic choice of traditional Norwegian food. It’s like stepping back in time. Love it so much it was our 3rd visit

A nice hotel in Sandefjord! This hotel has a good breakfast buffet so don’t miss a chance for yummy foodies.
