You should probably stay here for two reasons: Price and location. It is less expensive than the other choices I found in the downtown Stavanger area. Rooms are spartan and staff almost non-existent. I can see why other reviewers compared this to a hostel. You check in, eat breakfast (a good breakfast), and check out at the Victoria Hotel next... More

I have stayed in Skansen Hotel between 28th May 2011, Sunday and 2nd June, Thursday. It provides the basic amenities. So, if your aim is to find somewhere to sleep only, it is a good place for money. The wireless internet works very smoothly and I believe it is something good. The roadworks were about to finish when I was... More

If a few dollars makes a difference n your life, then book it, but I suggest Hotel Victoria instead. It is next door, but so much better. "Hotel" Skansen doesn't have reception (you check in at Victoria), doesn't have any amenities except for a bar (breakfast is served in Victoria). As a student I have been in nicer hostels than...

I'd really recommend. The room is basic(ish) but has everything you'd need, including a really good shower. The hotel is well located for nightlife, but very wuiet (at least when I was there over a weekend). Most importantly, its the closest the twon has to offer to a reasonably priced hotel (that I could find), and it has a truly... More

We arrived in an area where a road was being demolished including heavy machinery and pneumatic drills which went from 6.45am to 6.30pm right outside our bedroom window. The bedroom has multiple holes in the walls, nowhere to store your clothes and the bathroom lacks any hanging space. The breakfast was served in the hotel next door and was satisfactory.... More

Would recommend this hotel service and help from reception is excellent, second to none staff really go out of there way to help, rooms are very clean although a bit on the all side, breakfast included in price which is very reasonable considering it's Norway, location is perfect 800meter walk from train station and central to everything one could want,...

We had a very nice stay here during our time in Stavanger. We had originally booked the Stavanger Bed and Breakfast but when we arrived there and checked in, it was beyond horrible (!!) so we left immediately (without anywhere to stay for the next 2 nights!) and called the Skansen Hotel. They very kindly accomodated our instant reservation for... More

The location was great - walking distance from the pedestrian zone in the city, the wharf and many bars, places to eat. The staff was friendly, although not always at the front desk (you had to ring a bell to call them). Breakfast was good. The complaints - noise from being on the main road and the club across the...

The staff was incredibly nice and accomodating. We were staying 2 nights, then leaving for 1 night for fjord hiking, then coming back for 1 night. They let us leave our bags there so we didn't have to carry them out to the fjords. The breakfast was very good, and they leave fruit, pastry, candy and coffee/tea out all day... More
