At Kjøbmandsgaarden Hotel, travellers highlight its charming historic character and very central old‑town location, with friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere, plus a generally good breakfast and a well‑liked restaurant serving tasty dinners.
Rooms tend to be small, and the old building brings quirks like thin walls, noisy vacuum toilets and limited ventilation or no air‑conditioning, which can make stays warm in summer. Cleanliness is usually solid but not flawless, and practicalities matter: parking is off‑site and often paid, and there is no elevator. A good fit if you appreciate historic charm and can accept some old‑building trade‑offs.

If old charm is your thing, this is what you will love. The rooms are small and nothing fancy. The lobby area is roomy for sitting and eating. There is a wonderful outdoor patio. The staff was wonderful. It is also a restaurant and besides the breakfast (that is included), dining for dinner is an option (not included). Great location to walk to the City Center.

Average property. Room was large enough but you could hardly walk around the bed and the bathroom was tiny. Room was south facing and very hot (no airco and 1 of the 2 window panes was stuck). On the site paid parking at the hotel was mentioned for 50 Nok, this was not the case! We were referred to a paid parking nearby which was inconvenient. Breakfast was good but no sweet options (pastries) apart from jam.

Very nice, clean, well equipped room. We had a last minute booking while traveling around Norway, and the staff was able to accommodate for our arrival after their reception was closed. There's also convenient parking available nearby.

Et hotel som egentlig er ret hyggeligt indrettet og med et meget venligt personale, der alene kunne kommunikere med os på engelsk, da de ikke var nordmænd. I hvert fald ikke dem, vi stødte på. Værelserne var meget små undtagen det ene af de 3 værelser, vi havde booket. Værelserne var noget slidte ligesom resten af hotellet, og morgenmaden var ikke noget at skrive hjem om. Der manglede ikke noget, men det var ikke en morgenmad, hvor man på nogen måde følte sig forkælet. Det var ikke nemt at finde parkering i nærheden af hotellet, der ikke råder over egne parkeringspladser. Herudover var den parkering, som det lykkedes at finde mod betaling.

Koselig lite hotell midt Mandal. Stilig restaurant/frokostsal. Lytt mellom romma, men ikkje problem då me var der. Ikkje parkering som høyrer til hotellet (anbefaler parkeringshus, men er eit stykke å gå) Heller ikkje heis. Enkel frokost.

Schönes Hotel mit dem Charme des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Wer sowas mag, ist hier richtig. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber aber etwas klein. Die Toilettenspülung im Bad ist eine Vakuumspülung wie im Flugzeug. Je nachdem, wie viele Leute im Haus in kurzem Zeitraum spülen, kann es nach betätigen der Spülung 5-10 Minuten dauern, bis das Abwasser weggesogen wird. Das kann ein wenig unangenehm sein. Leider war es auch recht laut. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Insgesamt würde ich sagen, charmantes kleines Hotel in guter Lage zu einem fairen Preis.

Gammelt bygg som er ærverdig og flott men med et rørsystem som gjør at man ikke alltid kan skylle ned i toalettet akkurat når man ønsker. Dårlig lydisolasjon på rommet. Ikke mulig å lukke baderomsdøren helt igjen pga. Skjevhet på bygningsstruktur. God seng, hyggelig personale, sentralt og veldig trivelig hotell med mye sjel. Kommer gjerne tilbake for kortere opphold.

Vi bokade ett rum för två personer. ”Dubbelsängen” var 120, med varsitt täcke och varsin kudde. Sängen stod med långsidan mot fönstret på och sen som sov längst in krockade med rullgardinen som täckte fönstret. Det var en alldeles för smal säng för att vi skulle sova bekvämt. Avloppet tjöt/visslade obehagligt högt varje gång man spolade med vatten (duschade, borsta tänderna, tvätta händerna…). Det var aldrig någon i receptionen. Man fick ringa med en liten klocka och vänta tålmodigt på att någon skulle komma. Ingen parkeringsplats som tillhör utan man fick leta själv. Fanns inga gratisparkeringar. Välstädat, gammalt och rustikt. Fint bevarat.

This hotel lived up to my expectations. It's centrally located in Mandal, just in the middle of the old town. The building itself is quite old, but it's been maintained well. Checkin went smooth at the bar of the restaurant. Two minutes after attending I was in my room already. The room is clean, well maintained and has everything one expects. Just a tiny detail: a reading light near the bed would have been fantastic. My stay included wifi: fast and reliable. Just a note: check the Norwegian site of the poster in your room for the password, as it has been translated to English there, and the English variant doesn't work of course. Breakfast was included. It was simple, but everything was there and everything was fresh. The bread was still warm, even. Staff was professional, friendly and helpful. All in all, I got a good stay and I definitely will be back next time when visiting this city.

Gammelt og slidt hotel. Meget lille værelse, hvor døren bandt så meget, at vi skulle kæmpe for både at komme ud og ind. Toilettet stod løst på gulvet, så det var lidt udfordrende at sidde på det. Vi valgte at spise i restauranten, da de fleste steder i byen havde lukket om mandagen. Maden var fin nok, men servicen var noget mangelfuld.

It was simple, but everything was there and everything was fresh. The bread was still warm, even. Staff was professional, friendly and helpful. All in all, I got a good stay and I definitely will be back next time when visiting this city.
This hotel lived up to my expectations. It's centrally located in Mandal, just in the middle of the old town. The building itself is quite old, but it's been maintained well. Checkin went smooth at the bar of the restaurant. Two minutes after attending I was in my room already. The room is clean, well maintained and has everything one expects. Just a tiny detail: a reading light near the bed would have been fantastic. My stay included wifi: fast and reliable.

Dreadful attitude from hotel manager; didn't seem to understand the meaning of hospitality. His staff were busy serving and he was involved with potential clients which he broke off from to ring a bell rather than actually give us the key to our room. We were leaving at 07.00 to catch a ferry and breakfast was at 08.00. No we couldn't have anything early until I said I had spoken the day before with the owner who had said sandwiches could be arranged. No drinks facilities in the room - the guests stole all the kettles! Total rot. Could we have coffee in the morning? No. Eventually after an argument, black coffee provided in a thermos. No milk. Room tiny, just big enough for a double bed. Bathroom just about big enough for one person at a time. Google reviews of restaurant were awful so we went out for dinner. Place and website are totally over-hyped. Website says it prides itself on 24/7 service. There wasn't even anyone around to checkout.

If old charm is your thing, this is what you will love. The rooms are small and nothing fancy. The lobby area is roomy for sitting and eating. There is a wonderful outdoor patio. The staff was wonderful. It is also a restaurant and besides the breakfast (that is included), dining for dinner is an option (not included). Great location to walk to the City Center.

Eenvoudig hotel, maar schoon en comfortabel. In hartje centrum van het charmante stadje Mandal met veel restaurants en winkeltjes in de oude straatjes. Én, bijzonder in Noorwegen geloof ik, een breed zandstrand op loopafstand!

Das Hotel liegt in einer kleinen Gasse mitten im Ort. Parken kann man abends bis morgens um 8h kostenlos auf dem öffentlichen Parkplatz in der Nähe (danach Parkschein notwendig). Schönes, altes Gebäude, wirkt sehr authentisch. Innen wie Außen. Uriger Gastraum. Zimmer 2 war insgesamt zeitgemäß eingerichtet, einzig eine AC fehlt. Die Fenster lassen sich zum lüften öffnen, helfen bei Regen allerdings nicht viel. Das Zimmer wirkt nicht ganz aus einem Guss, ist aber sehr geräumig und isg absolut in Ordnung. Ansprechend präsentiertes Frühstück. Fußläufig erreicht man alle interessanten Punkte in Mandal recht schnell.

Helt ok rom og bad, veldig bra med regulerbar varme på både rom og bad. Grei frokost, bra og rimelig middagsmeny, og maten og det lokale ølet var veldig godt. Sjarmerende lokaler, og veldig sentral lokalisering. Alt i alt veldig godt fornøyd, kommer helt sikkert tilbake.
