It is too cold to sleep outdoor in January
Therefore, we have made efforts to make it possible for our visiting students to live well while they are here. Agderbyen, with Grimstad and Arendal in the centre, has many options for accommodation and plenty of good food and drink to offer. We have made agreements with three hotels and a landlord of holiday homes (cottages and apartments) on advantageous prices for our visitors.
A presentation of these follows below.
100 NOK = 8,5 €
Bie Apartments
This is not only a camping. Very close to Grimstad city centre you find this provider of houses and apartments. They provide accommodation for 400 Nok per night/ per person if the apartments are being filled. They provide no breakfast but all apartments and houses have cooking facilities. There are two supermarkets in walking distance. If you travel with friends, this may be a great option. If you plan to go alone, but want to share rooms with someone, KIS can help put you together with someone in a similar situation.
