“Nice location”

I'd stay there again

“Take your own earplugs”

I checked into my room, and there were three main things that hit me straight away: - The room was freezing, I tried to put the heating on but it wouldn't work. - The windows were so thin, I could hear every footstep outside and every conversation as if I was stood next to them - From the photos I thought I was going to get a desk- in the room I was in the only table in the room was dominated by one of the enormous old-fashioned tv's. As I was there to work this was unacceptable. After complaining to reception I was moved to a new room which was better, but still very basic for the amount that you pay for this hotel. The windows were still thin, so I'd recommend taking earplugs. After speaking to some of the people that live there, Stavanger hotels are generally very expensive apparently, so don't expect too much from it. All in all though, it was clean and the staff (at the Victoria, where the reception now is) were very helpful and once I voiced my complaint dealt with it very quickly. The room was tidied and clean towels were provided every day.

“Waterfront Hotel”

Very convenient central hotel.Only complaint was the shower was poor quality and it was very noisy -opposite a night club.Helpful staff - laid on an early Sunday breakfast and phoned for the airport bus to pick us up.Good value!

“Not recommendable!”

Very NOISY, no Elevator, if summer is hot and your room is facing the sun in the evening time, i can imagine you can never sleep at all, cause there is no air-con. You have to go to Hotel Victoria to coordinate everything.

“tiny room/bad smell”

the room was small, and the bathrrom was tiny! if u bath, the water spills everywhere. that would explain the bad damp smell in the room.

“more like "skanken" hotel (is it even a hotel?)”

this has been part of my first trip to Scandinavia where you really get what you pay for. in this case, i opted for totally budget since i was just passing through (i needed a place to stay the night because the ferry from where i stayed primarily didn't leave early enough for me to catch the early train out of Stavanger). well, i had no expectations about this place -- and still i was disappointed. the place advertised itself as a hotel (2 stars even) -- but you had to check in at the actual "sister" hotel next door. there were no elevators, and it just reminded you of places that you "rent by the hour" (so to speak). there was a phone in the room but the funny thing was that it didn't even give you the number to call the front desk of the other hotel so you had to go out to request your wake up call in person. the location in general is probably the only redeeming quality of this place. if you really don't care about where you sleep, and it's only for one night max, it's utilitarian enough. otherwise, this really isn't one of those "destination hotels" where you spend lots of time in -- it's an OK place if all you really will be doing is catching maybe 2-3 hours of sleep before you get out of town.
