Hotel Scandic Stavanger City (Stavanger, Norway)

The staff are all very friendly and very polite at all times and they speak fluent English which is a massive help if your Norwegian is not up to scratch. They will go above and beyond to fulfil any requests that you may have and they are only too happy to give advice and recommendations on what there is to see and do in the area including the best places to grab a bite to eat.

You are within very easy walking distance of the city centre which is just a stroll away and where you will find many different shops, bars and restaurants in addition to the railway station which is around 20-minutes' walk away should you wish to visit other towns and cities during your stay here.

The breakfast offered here has received many positive mentions in reviews by previous guests who were impressed with the wide selection of food available and also with the quality of food with the fresh fruit particularly nice and the best of all is that it is complimentary and included in the price of your room.

There are reports from previous guests that the air conditioning doesn't work properly and in some cases it wasn't possible to switch it off meaning that the room was very cold.

This is a family hotel and there are excellent facilities for children, but this also means that at times it can be quite noisy and there are doors slamming all the time which can be frustrating.

The safe is in quite a strange place in one of the bedside tables and near to the floor which makes it difficult to use especially if you have back problems and the bedside tables are not fixed so can be taken away quite easily.
