Stavanger Hotels

After years in the doldrums, this large hotel in Stavanager, which occupies a distinguished, 19th century brick building has been refitted and revamped to good effect. The hotel bar, with its antique furnishings and fittings, has a first-rate range of whisky and although the rooms beyond lack decorative individuality, they are all perfectly comfortable with every mod con. Smashing harbourside location too.

With its perfect location down by the harbour, this delightful modern Stavanager hotel was built in the style of an old warehouse to blend in with its surroundings. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the buffet breakfast excellent. The hotel has a Turkish steam bath, sauna, sun beds and a fitness room. There is also a nice coffee corner selling hot drinks and international newspapers.

With its 350 large and well-appointed guest rooms, this is the largest hotel in Stavanger. It’s located by Lake Breiavannet in the city centre. The hotel offers complimentary high-speed and wireless internet access throughout the premises. The sauna on the top floor offers great views of the city.

Mid-range, medium-sized hotel occupying a modern building that’s been squeezed into a narrow side street just off the harbour. The rooms are competent, if pretty average, but the hotel is competitively priced and is in a handy location.

Overlooking lake Breivannet, this large, medium-range, tower-block hotel has over 200 modern rooms plus a gym, sauna and solarium. The city's shopping and cultural venues are just a few minutes’ walk away.

Located in a residential area just five minutes’ walk from the railway station, this friendly, hostel-style B&B has around 20 frugal but very clean rooms, most of which have showers and sinks, but shared WCs. Every night, guests gather for complimentary tea, coffee and waffles – and a very pleasant evening it is too, with travellers sharing tips and gossip. Free parking and Wi-Fi too. One of the best cheap hotels in Stavanger.

A moderately priced hotel down by the main harbour, this unassuming place has about 30 en suite guest rooms decorated in a neat and trim modern style with comfortable beds, TVs and private bathrooms. The hotel bar can be a fun place to socialise, as it has become something of a meeting place for locals and hotel guests alike.
