Always perfect and well organised

A quick and friendly check-in. The room was spotless. I had not counted on a free evening meal, but it was very good. Breakfast in the morning had a lot of different things, including Norwegian options. Very nice!

Just perfect, nice, and relaxing

I think I've seen different people at the reception every time I went to this hotel, but each and every one is just as nice and helpful. The included breakfast and dinner are also great. So many different things to choose from and all delicious. I love going here.

Served an evening meal as part of room rate. No complaints as the food was good. Best to get down early as the heat lamps don't keep the food as warm as I like. However it was still good. Only thing missing was hot chocolate. :-)

We stayed one night and had opted for a Premium room. The hotel has a nice lobby with a Mid Century vibe (nice set of vintage Fritz Hansen chairs). Staff was welcoming and check in was easy as we had prepaid. Our corner room was the largest we had during our trip to Norway. We also were excited that it had a bathtub! The hotel has an interesting history. There was a great breakfast buffet and surprisingly, a buffet dinner was also included. It seemed the hotel was housing some workers with a local factory and breakfast and dinner was part of the “deal”. So all the guests benefited. We were first worried about noise, but there was no issues as they were up early. Porsgrunn is a nice town on a river, with an interesting history as the center of Norwegian porcelain production. It is also the base for people interested in renting boats to explore the river and canals. We found it a surprise and glad we spent some time there.

Great choice of every type of milk and non dairy options.

Lacking modernity

No double bed available (2 single beds together is not a double bed). TV was old and lacked connectivity for external devices and poor choice of TV channels

They had not received my booking, but did manage to give me a room. Room was noisy (noise from ventilation in the bathroom), so i complained, and they gave me another room. Fire alarm went off at 5AM for nothing, which was a really annoying. For the rest, comfort, cleanliness and service is ok.

Nice hotel in great location

The hotel was a beautiful stately older hotel. We would have appreciated some air conditioning or fans but it worked out okay. We wanted to visit the Porsgrunn Factory and this was a perfect location for that. We were also able to walk to restaurants and a beautiful park area.

Your only choice in Porsgrunn is a fine choice

This really is the only hotel in Porsgrunn, so if you need to stay in Porsgrunn you'll probably be at Vic. The lobby is very nice and the staff friendly and helpful. The building has a nice look, inside and out. Not fancy, but nice in an old-fashioned way. Our room was big, but as often is the case in Europe, the beds are really tiny. Minibar refrigerator had room for a couple of our own drinks to cool and there is a hot water heater and some coffee and tea. The breakfast, which was included, is plentiful, a very nice selection of hot and (mostly) cold items. No complaints there. The cleaning staff didn't clean the room perfectly (hair in bathroom, for example) and on the first day they left the door unlocked. We alerted the hotel staff and this did not happen again. Many small restaurants and bars are walking distance from the hotel, I especially recommend Michel Seylmagers hus, a short walk from the hotel, by the river.
