Maritim Hotel

Grei beliggenhet, frokost og rom. Ikke aircondition.

Small hotel with quite messy front desk. I wouldn't stay here again. But it was an OK room. Not a regular hotel brekfast that you usually get in Norway. More like what you might eat at home. It looked like it might have been a popular hotel in the 80´s. The hallways outside the room didn't smell fresh and in the bathroom the lights hung from the cables and boards on the cabinet. As if they planned to fixed but hadn't had the time to complete.

Merkelig hotell

Rommet var iskaldt. Frokosten i beste fall elendig, gammel og tørr ost, grå salami og en slags bacon som smakte gammel galte. Rommet var bare stusselig, alt veldig slitent. Anbefales absolutt ikke da alle andre Hotel i Tønsberg holder høy standard og koster omtrent det samme.

Takk :) Det var et fint opphold :)

I have known this hotel in Tønsberg for many years, from previous owners to new owners. The hotel has a long tradition in Tønsberg, since 1955, and is an independent hotel, now family owned and not associated with any of the larger groups of business hotels. It goes without saying it differentiate it self form the larger groups in many ways, and has a very special charm. Nothing is perfect in any hotel, neither in the large groups hotels, nor in the smaller privately owned hotels. However privately owned smaller hotels do have a different approach to warm service and atmosphere compared to the more business like hotels, which can actually be experienced when traveling in the small er communities in Norway. Hotel Maritim has been gradually upgraded over the last few years, and presents it self with new modern delicate rooms, with parquet floors, new beds and smart bathrooms. I have now stayed here for 10 days with 2 business friends, who as well found the rooms very comfortable. Many rooms are of different shape and lay out, but clean and nice, as observed when the owner showed me around. The reception area is standard, but ok, and the restaurant has a friendly atmosphere with a mixture of traditional Norwegian maritime and Chinese decorations. Breakfast is traditional as can be expected form a small hotel, but any special request can be met. Dinner dining have a lot of varieties, Norwegian, International as well as Sushi and Sashimi. The hotel has its own, surprising, museum, with massive and extraordinary original art form for various Chinese dynasties, as wells as a collection of the famous Norwegian Edvard Munch art work, and others. Very interesting. For those interested the owner is very proud to invite you down below to his secrets. The hotel has good and free Wi-Fi, free parking which extremely valuable these days, and close to all the fascinating facilities in the oldest city of Norway. B.Norberg

Fint

I am a business traveller, normally I use the Quality Inn when staying in Tonsberg. Because it was fully booked, my travel agent suggested to Maritim, also a good location close to the harbourfront. It started with a very poor reception, the lady was not making you feel welcome, she hardly looked at me, did not smile once. Next day there was a gentleman at the reception desk, I asked him to show me the directions to the railway station on a map. He was also not helpful at all, not friendly either. Luckily, the gentlemen in charge of the small breakfast buffet was a nice fellow. The waste bin in my room was still filled with trash of the previous client, and also after my first night's cleaning, the waste bin was again not emptied. The floor of the shower was not cleaned after my first day - the water of the morning was still in there (also because the ventilation did not work at all). How do these people think you can run a hotel with such a basic, poor service? Of my 40-50 reviews of hotels on Tripadvisor, this was one of my worst experiences. I understand things can go wrong, but this is incapability of the hotel management.

It could be that I have been traveling a lot lately in work and slept in big rooms but this was a small one. And the bathroom was so small you almost hit the wall with you knees when you sat on the toilet. I am 178cm by the way. It was not the hotels fault but a construction work outside started at 06:00 AM, but it was disturbing. The breakfast included the minimum for to be called a hotel breakfast if you ask me. The only warm food was boiled and scrambled eggs. For a price of 999 NOK I expect more. The wifi worked fine and the tv was ok. The bed was ok, no more than that. Ok for one night but I would recommend to stay somewhere else for a longer journey.

You can book a room at this hotel, but there is no guarantee you get it when you arrive. Me and my wife reserved a room at this hotel. We were at a wedding and told the hotel we would arrive late. This was ok. we arrive at 2:15. When we're told that they only have single room with smal, smal bed. Although they have made a big mistake, we ask the man in resepsonen if he can find a solution. Maybe a madrass? He had no interess in helping us. He was more concerned about accuse us that we had made a mistake. He was rude and signaled that he wanted us out of the hotel even though we told him we had no place to sleep. We went directly from there to "Hotel quality" wich was full, but had a very lovely staff who called all the hotels in town and fixed us a room in another hotel. This was just luck, all the hotels were completely full except this one room. So Hotel Maritim: Never again!
