Good hotel with affordable prices

A simple, but good hotel. Very clean, nice staff, affordable prices. Breakfast is not that good. Bacon overcooked, ham, cheese etc was dried out and not very eatable. Check-in and checkout was very effective without all the stupid questions. Can really be recommended for a short stay

Small room, difficult to find electrical outtake. Smoking area outside that gives smell in the rooms near by. A shopping mall next door other than that very limited in area. Will stay in central Stavanger next time

Stanza piccolissima per due persone, inadatta. Va bene per una persona, non di più. Stanca pulita, diciamo che il dover chiedere il phon e doverlo portare la sera stessa non è proprio il massimo

Greit hotell, men små rom

Helt ok hotell, veldig små rom så skal du bare ha ett hotell til kun å sove, så er dette perfekt. Små baderom, så her må du holde pusten ;-) Fint resepsjonsområde og veldig nært kjøpesenter og kun kort veil til Sandes sentrum. Enkelt å komme seg fra flyplassen da busstoppet er kun 2-300 meter fra hotellet

Ok hotell, men frustrerende små bad og rom. Vi fant kun én stikkontakt på rommet - mao få lademuligheter. Putene er lave og ukomfortable. Vi spurte om ekstra pute, men det lot seg dessverre ikke gjøre. Stort pluss at hotellet har egen parkeringskjeller og at parkeringen er gratis.

+ Rent och fräsch hotellrum. + Gratis parkering + Trevlig personal + Snabb och smidig incheckning. + Lagom stor och god frukost. - Hotellrummet var väldigt litet. Jag en fullvuxen man fick INTE plats i duschen. - Frukost ingick ej utan krävde köp. Jag ger hotellet ett överlag bra betyg, fyra av fem stjärnor. Det uppfyllde vårat behov efter tolv timmar i bil från Örebro i Sverige.
