Rica hotel has a good atmosphere...right by the lake and within walking distance to center of town. It's unfortunate that the capacity for servicing the guests are minimal. For one thing you try to reach the reception and are calling for 10 minutes and still not able to reach someone to help. Also, for being such a big hotel there... More

Weekend stay for two. Standard room on 14. floor. It was quite small, there's no where to put your case when opened, apart from on the bed. Anything bigger than a cabin case will be quite a problem. There is a folding luggage rack, but you can't get round the bed when the rack is open. Double bed, tiny "wardrobe",... More

Room was fine but on the small side. Good bed and everything Scandinavian standard clean and efficient. Breakfast was fine. If you are in Stavanger for 2-3 days on business this hotel will do nicely. A 10 minute walk will get you to a small mall with some restaurants and also a supermarket. I didn’t eat at the hotel restaurant... More

I stayed at the hotel with a colleague, during a exhibition at Stavanger Forum. I didn't try the dinner at the hotel, since we ate at the conference center. The rooms are a little small, but the view is great if you are in the higher rooms! The breakfast was as expected in a Rica hotel, with everything I would... More

Im not expecting a lot of glamour on my business trips, but neither should you if you stay at the Forum. OK (on the small side) rooms, and a OK view from 14. floor. OK breakfast at the top floor. The Hotel is pretty far from the center, i think a taxi is about 150 NOK. Had one evening meal... More

The rooms are very small and not the cleanest one. Basically the whole hotel is not really clean especially the restaurant is dirty. The breakfast is excellent. Parking is free, location is ok, view amazing( the windows are very dirty) Underfloor heating in the bathroom what makes you feeling comfortable.

Good hotel, nice breakfast with lot of choices, with own selection for kids. The breakfast and restaurant was on the top floor (21st) with great view. We booked a family room and got spacious room at 14th floor. The hotel has some offers to activate the kids. It seemed to be a fitness room in the top floor. This was... More

This hotel is 21 stories high right off the highway and not close to Stavanger. In fact, we never even made it to Stavanger as we went on the fiord ferry and explored around there. Our room was nice and clean, the staff nice, the breakfast, if eaten early, shared with many many people on bus tours but it was... More

Overall,I would recommend this hotel as it was clean,the food good&the staff efficient and helpful. Even though there was free wifi,it was only available on 1st 2nd&3rd floor which meant leaving the room to gain access,quite inconvenient. The breakfast buffet was extensive,very tasty.

I stayed here for a conference, but my wife and young son were with me and we extended our trip to explore a bit of Scandanavia. The hotel was fine - everything you would expect or need. It is not walking distance from town, but the buses are quick, cheap, and easy to figure out. Taxi's are available too, and... More
