Frommer's Review
This hotel has long been a local favorite -- since 1955, in fact -- but the opening of the Quality Hotel Tønsberg has put it in second place. Operated by a Norwegian seamen's association, it is a bastion of modern comfort and convenience -- all offered for an affordable price. Located on a square beside the ruins of the Church of St. Olav, the hotel occupies a five-story building that's a 10-minute walk east of the rail station on the main pedestrian street. The rooms, which are frequently renovated, are well furnished and have a color scheme to rival the spring flowers of Norway. Some of the units are quite large, and each comes with a small bathroom with shower. Fregatten, a good restaurant offering a Norwegian, Japanese, and Chinese cuisine, is on the ground floor. The helpful staff can arrange boat trips or bikes for guests.
