Kragerø Sportell and Apartments

A low budget, simple standard place to stay. I did not expect high quality, we were three ladies traveling and there were bunk beds. But it worked perfectly, we got what we expected. Nice location, a small pier/beach area, where it was possible to rent a canoe, play volleyball, jump from the pier, wade out from a tiny beach, fresh water to rinse in. Free parking. A very nice breakfast buffet. Taxi to the city on a Saturday evening was around 200 kr. It is the perfect spot for a low budget stay in Kragerø. ||||It was a very warm day, and there were no aircondition and no fan. Especially the bunkbed top got hot. I would have like the one closest to the window to have been made up for sleeping, not the one furthest into the room. But. You know. ||I could not get the wifi to function.||Other than that, I have no complaint. It was a very nice place. I recommend it. :)

I stayed here for two nights and am very happy - you get what you pay for - good bed and nice simple breakfast. Sportell has nice surroundings where you have great walk/run options and beaches. Sportell is just 2 km walk away from Kragerø centre, lovely stroll. The service is nice. The room is very small and mine was located in the basement which made it very dark. There is no shop close to Sportell. I am happy with my stay here and would recommend the place for those who are looking for something simple.

Nice little place which doesn’t over promise but delivers well. Relaxing place not far from the town centre with ample free parking and a decent breakfast buffet. |Ability to rent bikes and kayaks. |Room was a little hot, but we stayed during a heatwave on the south coast.

I accidentally ordered a room class with reduced prices if you bring your own bedding. This is a great system for those who acctually have bedding of their own, as I didn't. The friendly receptionist was able to sort out my mess with ease and provided me with a room with bedding and all for just a slightly higher price. As I spent most of my time here in town I did not get a chance to see if there were any fascilities. My room was spacious and basic with a bed, a TV, a small wardrobe and a couch of sorts. Breakfast was basic but good quality.

We booked 1 family room & 1 apartment for our stay. As there was few guests that day we wore offered the possibility to rather have 2 apartments for original price and that way keep the group together for the stay. Even we did not expect such kindness it was greatly apreciated gesture from the hotel.||||The apartments were clean and of good size, with 2 individual bedrooms and the possibility of using a sleeping sofa in the livingroom. Each apartment has also fully equiped kitchen and a small bathroom.||||If there, take the chance to walk around the boat marina and enjoy the surroundings, it was great! We will return again for sure

Booked a room at the hotel, but was moved to an apartment with no extra cost. Wow! Really nice place, you can hire boats, kayaks, canoes and el-bicycles. Little beach at site. The apartment had two bedrooms, equipped kitchen and a living area - and also a little balcony. 20 min walk to citycenter, you follow a road. Grocery store near. Standard breakfast - no extra. (Well, you can make you own waffles)

Open your window or suffocate: The bathrooms have nice active suction, *but* every ventilation intake is blocked for every guest room, meaning no air flow when windows are closed. The carpenters 'forgot' to make holes in the new exterior cladding. The manager was unaware of this issue when I spoke to him today (july 2021), but he came to the same conclusion when presented with the evidence. Apart from the blocked ventilation, the painful bed ladders and a very small dinner menu, the place is mostly OK.

Overpriced for a low quality room. Tap water was undrinkable with very bad taste and we became sick after drinking it. Nice breakfast and free use of washing machine.
