Booked two double rooms (4 people). Made the mistake not to check the rooms before heading out. Coming back after dinner, we discover that one room only has one pillow/comforter. Hotel reception is gone for the night and answer machine gives no phone# to call. Nights are cold in Norway, so slept in jacket and fully dressed.  Next day, reception staff apologize for mistake and says that we will be refunded for the room.  In days that follow, the hotel refunds only 15% , arguing that they reduced the room price from 2 to 1 person. Makes no sense and does not compensate for the inconvenience.

Poor service

We were nicely surprised about Risoer hotel which was located very nicely along the harbour. When we got there the hotel manager showed us their parking space, and we got the last spot. Very nice of him! They only have 6 (or 7?) spots, but we got one the next day as well.

With the Covid-19 situation we were a little sceptical due to a recent trip to Stockholm (were the breakfast buffé was a total caos). The breakfast at Risør was a dream in comparison with waiters serving everything. I haven't had such service since I was in San Francisco! The eggs were perfect and we got extra bread and bacon when we asked. I did miss some smoked salmon, but I forgot to ask for it...

The room was nice and very quiet with a view to a back garden. Everything was superclean. We were told there would not be room service due to Covid, but we only spent two nights so it wasn't a problem for us. This seems to be the same all over Norway, and even in Sweden.

The hotel front porch was a very nice area to spend the evening with a glass of beer (or wine for my wife). We could relax and look at the harbour with the kids relaxing by the TV.

The bath facility at Risør is ok. There is a place 50 meters from the hotel with stairs into the sea. The second day we walked to a public beach, but its a 20 minute walk, so remember good shoes. The beach was small, but cosy and perfect for the kids.

All-in-all we had a nice stay at a classic hotel.

Nice summer holiday

Quite ok, but gets a notch down due to no cleaning during our stay (probably a covid-19 measure) and just a avarage breakfast. Great service from the evening staff!👍 and actually a notch up due to this😊

Avarage

Excellently located for the Reine laken event I was attending at the Peterhead bar, virtually next door. It was quiet because of the time of year but the breakfast and the room were both ideal. This town is just like somewhere in the east Neuk of Fife in Scotland.

Overnight stay

Stayed in on a busine trip. Enjoyed the ocean view, the central location and the comfort of the bed. The room was spacious with a nicely refurbished bathroom. Breakfast was pretty basic but ok. The staff was kind and helpful. 

Nice stay

I stayed at this hotel last week, firstly found the information about operating the TV and such very scarce from the check in staff. WiFi in the room was very poor again information on how to access the right site from reception very poor. I was in B&B and found the breakfast very basic continental only. Worst of all was the bedroom the quilt only covered half the bed.?? there is only a body wash in the bathroom no amenities and no in room safe which is an essential these days to the traveler. The hotel has a good location so they really need to capitalize on this, there is not much competition in the town so they have no incentive to improve, but they really could do better. Risor is a very nice place so the need to take advantage of that.

VERY BASIC HOTEL

Risør Hotel is an institution, I guess. This was my fifth, or so, visit here. I love the place. All my visits have been off-season, so the whole wonderful little white city is silent, gathering energy for the summer season when tourists invade the place. This hotel offers a great location, the salty sea to the door-step, and spacious rooms. I also enjoy the breakfast (and the breakfast room). I also feel more than welcome to the friendly hotel.

I come back over and over again.

Friendly staff and a super breakfast buffet. But could do much better when it comes to the standard of the rooms, particularly at the rate of NOK 1700 per night for a family room. Non-functioning roller blind, light bulbs which hadn’t been replaced, messy TV cables, a kettle with a lead so short it could only be used on the floor, stained tiles and shelves in the bathroom, a shower head which didn’t fit properly... Small details really, though a bit of attention to these would have made all the difference. 

Lacks attention to detail 

A very nice and helpful staff. When we asked to have breakfast half an hour earlier than the usual time, we had a "yes, ofcourse" with a big smile. The breakfast was rich and tasty, and the rooms were clean. A very cosy hotel. Hope to return in the summer.

Kind and helpful staff

A nice little hotel just by the waterfront in the beautiful Risör. I got a big room with furniture that reminded me of the fifties (though I'm not really good at that). The breakfast was served in a cosy surronding making start of the day comfortable.
Friendly and helpful staff.
