This is normally a Christian school, but in summer when all the students are away they turn it into a sort of hotel. All the staff are students from the school - the receptionists, cleaning staff and breakfast staff. If you take this into account, you will have a wonderful stay. If you expect a hotel with amenities, you should look further.

The rooms are small but clean. For sleeping it is quite adequate. We stayed in a small familyroom with a bunk bed and a pullout sofa. There was a tiny kitchenette with a stove, burners and a refrigerator. Small bathroom with a shower. 

The surrounding area is very pleasing. It is close to the sea, with small white sand beaches and rocks. Nice to both fish and bathe. The kids loved it. 

Breakfast is with an assortment of bread and the basics (cheese, jams, ham and so on). They serve hard boiled eggs and has orange juice, apple juice, milk, coffee and tea.

The hotel is located about a 5 minute drive from the Zoo, 10-15 minutes drive from the city center. They offer charging of electric cars.

We stayed here two times before, and will stay here again next visit to Kristiansand.

Good value with great surrounding areas

A place on the Kristiansand beach. The hotel is easily accessible from the highway. 
The breakfast is decent. The rooms and beds were clean. There was a shared kitchen equipped with basic amenities.
The place has a parking place.

A good budget hotel

Student housing build over to "hotel" during summer months. Simple, clean rooms with breakfast. Had to leave early, so they made us a breakfast package. 

Price was cheap for a last minute booking, and pretty good value for money. 

Enough parking space for cars and they offer different sporty activities eg kayaking. 

Simple, good price/value

We wanted to break up our drive from Oslo to Stavanger and chose Angsar Sommerhotell as it was conveniently located en route, and wasn't as exorbitant as other accommodation in and around Kristiansand. 
 
We knew we were staying in fairly basic student accommodation that gets converted to a hotel during summer, so in most respects the hotel was in line with our expectations.

The room was very clean, but quite small, with two narrow twin beds that were surprisingly comfortable. There was plenty of space to store clothes, and a desktop behind the beds. Bathroom was perhaps slightly more basic, and while adequate could probably benefit from updating.

Self-service laundry facilities are available on site, you just need to buy a token from reception to make the machines work . . . . be warned instructions are not in English so, if like us your Norwegian is non-existent, you might want to make sure you have updated your google translate app.

Breakfast was included in the price but was extremely busy and chaotic with only a limited choice of cold foods on offer.

There's a nice lakeside area a few minutes walk from the car park with a small beach that was a lovely spot for some late evening sun.

Overall it was pretty much what we expected, however our biggest complaint, and the main reason for the average rating, relates to the price. AU$150 a night for very, very basic student accommodation is really just outrageous, even for Norway. We stayed at a Scandic in Oslo for much less than this!

Not great value for money

When booking the hotel via booking.com we did not exactly know what to expect. It turned out to be some sort of student/seminar facility with 4 rooms (each with own shower/toilet) sharing one living room/kitchen facility. And a very nice roof terrace with gorgeous views.
Breakfast in a sort of canteen in a central building, and quality of the breakfast surpisingly good!
Friendly and helpful staff
