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 More

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. More

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

Following the good reviews from tripadvsor I chose this hotel due to an early flight from Torp. I paid 126 euros for a standard room in the dependance wing. It was extremely noisy, both for traffic noise from outside road, both from inside for plumbing and flushing noise from neighbouring rooms and from ceiling. The toilet was comparable to a... More

The hotel is very old. .You can hear all noise from the neighbour rooms. Bath room in standard room is substandard While we were there a group young men/footballteam stayed there. They kept us from sleeping until 2.a.m. The owner of the hotel must decide to run a quality hotel or a youth hostel. More

We were on a late Ryanair flight to Torp and thought it would be a good idea to stop at Sandefjord when we arrived so we could still enjoy the night (Oslo is 1.45hr train journey, Sandefjord is 6mins). The rooms are cosy and the hotel is pituresque, we found the staff friendly and helpful (we got a restaurant recommendation... More
