Very helpful reception staff, very spacious room and toilet, and very clean hotel overall, despite it being motel like in design. Nice residential and quiet neighborhood, but also quite far from the downtown. Overall good for a short stay and if you have a car.

2 star Hotel to 5 star + price! Bathroom and Toilet far below expected standard. Paid over 2400nok pr night. 125nok for a substandard breakfast, powdered scrambled eggs, cheap baked beans. Will not stay there again.

The hotel was easy to locate from the airport. It was great value for money. The bed was so comfortable and there was even spare pillows etc. The receptionist brought a kettle to the room so we could have hot drinks. Excellent service all round. Breakfast was ok.

Location could be better, but I was surprised to find this hotel better than some of the hotels in the city centre. The good part about the location was that we didn't hear the usual "Saturday night shouting"..The size of the room was good, but the bathroom was small. The best part of the room was the beds.

The room provided for my stay was very nice. Newly renovated with nice furnishings, a very modern and comfortable bathroom, and it was very quiet. The staff were all excellent - a very uniform approach to providing excellent service. The breakfast was very good. All-in-all; a very good place to stay on a business trip to Stavanger.
