We arrived early the staff were very nice. But our room was only set up for one guest, so they brought more pillows and sheets, towels. I would have liked the room to be larger, but otherwise it was fine. The view from our window made our choice worth while.

We stayed just for one night and came at the time of the ONS Energy Exhibition during which the hotels take full advantage of all the guest coming in. This hotel charged the exorbitant price of Nok 2.385 per room/night (one person) equals to Usd 400. This level is completely beyond proportions for a hotel that is in need of... More

Location of the hotel is excellent with a view of the sea and the hills. Its far from the airport close to the sandnes centre and Forus industrial area. The rooms are good and cosy but good for a weekend trip not for a vacation. The rooms are tightly packed to accomodate 2 people . The room rates are expensive... More

I was quite pleased overall with the Thon Sandnes except that the price was quite high considering that the rooms and hallways are a bit worn and in general I would say the place needs a make over...The staff at the front desk were excellent and very, very helpful answering my questions. One important thing to know is that the... More

We checked in on a saturday to this hotel in Sandnes. The restaurant is only open Monday-Thursday, so forget about having a meal here. My wife forgot her toothbrush, but the reception had no spare toiletries. Rooms are very tiny, even by norwegian standards. No elevators to the second floor (is this legal these days?) Bathroom was not very clean... More

I looked really forward to my stay at this hotel because it looks so nice on the pictures. But really, I'm not that impressed. First: The location is not very good. I'm born and raised on the west coast of Norway so the view was just below average for me. Also it kind of "in between" and not very close... More

Stayed here recently....The hotel is Small & Cosy but it has many problems. The rooms need updating and more than that they need sound proofing. Was woken up several times by neigbours returning to their rooms, you can here everything!

Well, the title says it all I suppose. The hotel isn't in the centre of either Sandnes or Stavanger but you don't always want that, do you? I stayed overnight on two occasions, each room was clean throughout, quiet and cool enough in the warm weather we were having. Both were particularly spacious and each had a fully stocked mini-bar.... More
