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.

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.

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.

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.

The Skansen Hotel is a bit worn down. However it's clean and quite OK. I stayed Mon-Wed and had no trouble with noise as many other gusts have observed. Taken into account the price and location. I would rate this a great value for money stay in a ok rom :-)

Room is clean and no lift to reach room. And also Hotel is attached to the Pub in the ground floor, so lots of Music and Noise till 1AM. Its difficult to sleep till that time. I am not sure on other days. The only good part is Room is near to city center.

Everything is great except the poor wifi connection. I like the bed which is like marshmallow. It makes me comfortable.

Clear enough, this is a budget hotel, considering the price & location. Nevertheless, I have never been in a hotel that was this loud in my entire life. More like a Hostel with a private room/bathroom. Clean, with a small, single bed and a low budget bathroom. Everything would've been acceptable considering the price; however, the noise made this place terrible. On the bottom floor of the building there is an attached "bar" which is actually where you check in. Do NOT stay here if you want to go to bed before 3 or 4 in the morning. I am one that falls asleep very easily, but the "bar" on the ground floor is more like an incredibly loud club, with super heavy bass you can feel in your bed, and loud people you can hear through the windows (even from the third floor). If you need to get some rest,find another place. If you're looking to party all night in a good location for a very reasonable price, this might be the place for you.

Efficient cleanbbasic room with bath updated with laminate flooring. Above restaurant. We are seniors and asked for lower floor but given upper floor even though it seemed only one other guests there. I think they thought seniors did not want to hear noise from bar . There is a disabled elevator but they didn't use.
Breakfast room not in operation yet. Nice friendly bartender checked us in and our delayed sas luggage by one day delivered but left in front of our room perhaps because we had left do not disturb sign as there is no real reception other than bar. Luggage was safe and intact. Perfect location next to Victoria and Havly and Clarion brygge as well as fjorde north office. Cruise ship parked across the street at harbor. CN walk to town and shopping

Purely functional. No reception - check in to the bar attached to the hotel. Entrance to room is VERY basic. Room clean with comfortable single bed. Shower, toilet and washbasin. Desk. Hanging area but only one hanger. Good WiFi. Room looked on to street so subject to traffic noise.

The hotel has a great location, basically in the center of Stavanger. The hotel itself is nothing impressive; but you get what you pay for. The room was OK, although you can hear all the noises from the street and the other rooms. The breakfast which is served at Victoria Hotel was a very positive surprise since we didn't expect much with the low price we paid.

Do NOT stay in room 15. It is next to the restaurant/bar, and there is music until midnight.
The fantastic breakfast almost made up for the loss of sleep.

This hotel in Stavanger, not far from train station, was good for me. Had to go to hotel next door to check in, but I found the room to be exactly what I wanted. Also, very close nice walk to the water and the Brygge. However, at night, there is a lot of noise from the bar downstairs, that opens until quite late. It didnt bother me, I had a beer in the bar, which was handy, but the noise may annoy a few people. So just be aware of this. But for me, it was a good atmosphere.

Location is perfect. Rest is ok. Staircase has weird smell and on weekends it is very loud in the bedroom from the street until 1am. Room is very basic decor, slightly old but very clean. Extra comfy beds, had great night sleeps once the music stopped at the clubs on the street. Breakfast was nice with a great selection and included local Norwegian food as well as standard European breakfast selection.
