Hotell Vic

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. :-)

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.

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.

It was a lovely hotel to stay in. My room was spacious & breakfast & dinner was included in the price. The location was great close to shops & the river
