Possible check-in was announced from 5pm. Reference was made to the Broremann Bar but it only opened from 6pm. At least there was a phone number on the door and the staff was on site quickly after a call. When booking through Expedia, it said "free breakfast". This was only negated when the hotel sent an email. The hotel WiFi was almost unusable. A TV was available, but no remote control. About the lack of possibility of using the TV was also only pointed out after the booking was made. If you want to sleep late, you should use hearing protection, as the location on the harbor and above the bar is definitely associated with business and street noise. Lots of hair in the shower from the previous tenant. Fungal infestation on the bathroom walls and on the shower curtain. Bad air in hallway, bathroom. Overall pretty worn facility. Only for emergency overnight stays, don't forget bath slippers.

Although the staff member that checked me in was very nice, helping me find a place to lock my bike on the property, the poor condition of the building and rooms was very concerning.  A review in German on another website said there were bed bugs here at some point, and though my inspection didn’t reveal any, the grime under the bed and general condition and smell of the property did not provide any reassurance.  Simple maintenance things like properly functioning faucet valves, paint touch ups and more thorough cleaning would help.  I don’t recommend this place.

Great hotel for the price, not fancy though.

Cheap and central

Easy check in, very central and exactly how they show it!

Nice cheap hotel

Its a ok hotell just for one or to night stay.some issue is it , but it is what you get for 500 + kr.Very dirty window frame , toilet fan , waterkoker , window is leaking.dirty toilet fan / waterkoker , window leaking.

cheap hotel for short period

Position excellent. Close to the center, close to several restaurants.  Mattress comfortable.  Big room ensuite. Clean enough.  If i return i would book again. No elevator the structure is a little older but for me was perfect!

Perfect!

Upon arrival the room was not clean.The whole place is crying for a renovation.The location is perfect and the bed is comfortable.Mold in the bathroom, ventilation is unefficient.

Only for sleeping

Very basic hotel. Needs a lot of updating. Dark and old but if you are staying one night and don’t want spend much money it’s just okay.

basic hotel

Will use it again if I need a place to sleep just for myself in Stavanger. Excellent location. Unbeatable price. At this price you have to have low expectations. The hotel is worn down way past any normal refurbishment schedule. The bed, however, was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was acceptable, clean and functional.

Best low price alternative

The location is great, everything is within walking distance including the airport shuttle bus stops. The room was fine, bed were comfy. However the bathroom needs some love. The sink tap was lose, the floor moves underfoot and the shower does its own thing. The radiator in the bedroom was hanging off. We never saw anyone else, when we checked in we rang a number on the door, they gave us the key safe number and we let ourselves in. The bar downstairs we found to be quiet, maybe in summer it gets busy and noisy but it never bothered us. For a short stay this hotel is fine.
