    It is a nice place to stay for a couple of nights, and being a bit outside of the city center is also quiet.

    My room had been double booked which meant I walked in on someone else on arrival. The staff were very helpful and thankfully there was another room available, but if there hadn't been it could have been a big problem.

    Good value basic accommodation within walking distance of the university where I was attending a conference

    There is really no parking except for paid parking. The local parking spot (paid) felt a bit sneaky when you pay double the "max" rate as they count per day so overnight even though you came late and left early. The oven in the common-kitchen was so small that the pizza had to be cut in two before it was put in the oven;)

    The receptionist was super nice and positive, also the location was quiet with no traffic

    The main entrance is locked from 23-8. There's no instructions on how to open the side entrance. We almost missed our flight since we couldn't figure out how to open the door

    The room is very clean. I think that's a school dormitory before. The sharing space is convenient. You can cook your own meal there. The neighbourhood is very quiet.

    This is a good, basic and economic place to stay in Stavanger. We were made very welcome by the young student reception staff. The breakfast was good, plenty of parking, easy access to the port and city centre. Thank you for looking after us...

    I only stayed here overnight, but got the well-awaited rest and comfort on my last day in Norway, after hiking non-stop. I loved how friendly the staff was, the room was super cozy, clean and quiet. I didn't have much encounters, but it felt like I would get all the support if I needed any. The location is outside of Stavanger, so you have to take a bus, or if you're into 45min walking like me, you could go through the park and very nice neighbourhood. In any case, it's super easy to get to the city centre.

    There was not anything that we did not like .

    Basic but very clean accommodation with good breakfast and lovely and very helpful staff. There are washing machines and drying facilities which one can use free of charge ! I thought this was amazing as we were running out of clean clothes after camping and kayaking in the fjords . Location is great ,approximately 30 minutes/3km pleasant walk through a park to Bergen town centre . There was also bus available for those who would not want to walk and the bus stop is very close .A supermarket open from 7-23 is 5 minutes away .

    A bit out of Stavanger, but it is a beautiful walk through the park into the city.

    Nice clean room, clean showers, communal kitchen that is fully equipped. Staff is lovely and kept our baggage safe after we checked out. Lovely stay, would definitely recommend

    The location is very close to the bus from the airport and also very close to pulpit rock bus (only to pulpit rock). The staff was extremely helpful and responded to all my question about stavanger. Although i did not end up staying at the hotel they were extremely understanding and refunded my money without any problems. They were extremely responsive and easy to deal with. Note that if you are arriving between 23 and 7 you will need to phone the staff to check in.

    It is very quiet and the staff are not around. Common areas don't seem to be cleaned regularly.

    Plain hostel accommodation in a quiet area, accessible via public transport in the centre of Stavanger.
