Skansen Hotel

Stavanger


This hotel is the only budget option in the city centre. Rooms are spartan but clean and there are a few pleasing extras such as tea- and coffee-making facilities and complimentary Norwegian sweets. There's also a beer garden out the back and a watering hole, locals' favourite B.broremann B.bar, downstairs.

With no on-site reception, check-in is done at the nearby Best Western Victoria Hotel (Skansegata 1), which is also where breakfast is served.
