The Victoria Hotel in Stavanger is a classic hotel, with walls full of history. Polite and forthcoming personnel. Quick and professional service. However, as I said above, the hotel is classic, which means it is also old. The hotel is, in my opinion, in strong need of a imminent renovation. My room was comfortable and spacious, but worn. The carpets... More

This was a very well run and kept hotel, not as modern and fancy as some others in this part of Norway but maybe all the better for that. Service was a little abrupt when checking in but the room was spacious and well equipped. The view of the harbour was terrific and the breakfast very good indeed, as was... More

I booked into the Victoria for the first time after many years coming to Stavanger. Reception and foyer was very pleasing with traditional carpets and loungers. A change from some of the more modern hotels in town. I had a junior suite which was two rooms put together with a separate bedroom. All looked OK with a new bathroom and... More

Dear Derek Thank you for your feedback. We are aware that many of our rooms do not have plugs by the desks. Our electrician is currently working on this. We also realize that some of our televisions need TV swing arms and have been installed in several rooms already. We strive to have an excellent breakfast and we would appreciate... More

Victoria is one of Stavanger's oldest hotels (maybe even the oldest), located near the inner part of the harbour, Vågen, a short walk from the shopping and restaurant areas. Celebrating 110 years in 2013, it's followed Stavanger from the time it was only a small fishing town to the expensive centre of the Norwegian oil industry it is today. Victoria... More

It is an old hotel: nice atmosphere, nice restaurant, but dont expect a futuristic room. The position is excellent, right on the port, close to the shopping streets, restaurants and old town. The staff was professional. Free wifi Nice tv

The hotel location is excellent (right by the harbour), the building has a romantic feeling... but the staff is unfriendly - at the least.
