"This is a lovely hotel, very close to the downtown walking area. The breakfast was exceptional. The staff were friendly and helpful. Free on-street parking after 17:00. We opted for the compact room for our one night, but it was plenty spacious."

10/10 Excellent
"The view over the water, islands and mountains is incredibly beautiful and not to be missed. The owners are very friendly and very accommodating. We had a special vegetarian lunch which was delicious and plentiful. The sauna with a view was so fun and relaxing. It is on the dock where you can jump in the water if you dare! It is cold and refreshing. It is worth the commute into Stavanger, about 30 minutes, to be on this peaceful and lovely island at this welcoming, homey place."
