Great place and great hotel.

Liked: The hotel was lovely. Very clean, nice good size room with very comfortable bed. The location was perfect for exploring Stavanger. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice and generous serving times. The staff were all friendly and polite, providing first class service. I had a bit of a medical emergency during the stay and they couldn’t have been better in looking after me and getting help. If we go back to Stavanger we wouldn’t look to stay anywhere else. Highly recommended.
Disliked: Bar prices - but that’s Norway!

Good harbour view

Liked: Great location, historic building

Liked: The staff were extremely helpful and professional.It's an old hotel with a lot of character, which I loved, but like me, it is showing its age at times, with small things not quite functioning at 100%.

Charming Stavanger stay that makes...

Liked: Great location and ambience. Probably one of the best breakfasts I have ever seen in a hotel. If you have ever stayed at a hotel for a full week, you'll know you ultimately get tired of the options. Didn't happen here - never got to try everything that caught my eye. Excellent quality, great choice. The bread was amazing. So was fish, and a lot of what I thought were vegan choices (perhaps labeling wasn't that clear). The room and bed were very comfortable. The staff was awesome. Every morning, before breakfast, as I would come back from my short walk/fresh air, the concierge/receptionist would offer me a fresh, delicious coffee. Learned that he was Greek. :) When they said "if you hang your towels, we won't change them", they meant it! I have seen so many places that ignore their own policy, so this was a pleasant change. At the same time, the one day I hung out 'don't disturb' sign, the lady stopped by to make sure I had everything I needed. Can't comment on the gym, since it opens at 0600, which was too late for me, but probably ok for most. They also have some very cute bikes for rent. It was a bit cold, if sunny during my stay, and I had forgotten to bring my gloves. But will certainly use the opportunity when I come back in summer!
Disliked: Don't expect personal catering everwhere, but if I could have my perfect hotel, the gym would be open from 0500 (or even 24/7), and there would be a sauna.
