With its perfect location down by the harbour, this delightful modern Stavanager hotel was built in the style of an old warehouse to blend in with its surroundings.

There is also a nice coffee corner selling hot drinks and international newspapers.

After years in the doldrums, this large hotel in Stavanager, which occupies a distinguished, 19th century brick building has been refitted and revamped to good effect. The hotel bar, with its antique furnishings and fittings, has a first-rate range of whisky and although the rooms beyond lack decorative individuality, they are all perfectly comfortable with every mod con. Smashing harbourside location too.

Mid-range, medium-sized hotel occupying a modern building that's been squeezed into a narrow side street just off the harbour. The rooms are competent, if pretty average, but the hotel is competitively priced and is in a handy location.

A moderately priced hotel down by the main harbour, this unassuming place has about 30 en suite guest rooms decorated in a neat and trim modern style with comfortable beds, TVs and private bathrooms.
