Business trip stayed for three nights more a hospital hotel if I’m honest and not really suited for my needs. But it was cheap for Norway and reasonably close to where I needed to be.

Hospital hotel in a convenient location.
This hotel is not your ordinary place; it is part of the St Svithun hospital complex so if you were not needing to be near somebody recovering from an operation or giving birth, the hotel might not be what you are looking for. On the other hand, it I close to Stavanger Sentrum and a convenient 10 km from the airport. Breakfast was not included in our reservation so we had to pay NOK 150 per person extra for that and parking was NOK 170 per night.

Family trip to Norway
One of the factors when picking this hotel was it was on the bus route and less than a couple of miles from Stavanger so figured it would be a nice walk or short bus ride each day into the town, breakfast was also included with our booking. First thing first this is a Hotel next to the local Hospital. It turns out this is actually accommodation for hospital residents also with wheelchairs about the place and lots of newborns in the restaurant in the morning was a pleasant surprise. The room was as you’d expect for the price two beds pushed together separate blankets. Small fridge. One working sidelight - one not. Small area for hanging 3 or 4 items and a TV on the wall and a desk. Decent sized shower (Wheelchair friendly) and bathroom area - Although there was a step up into the bathroom which made no sense and also the cause of a couple of stubbed toes when going to the loo in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning. Breakfast. Fresh juices. 3 choices of eggs - soft / Hard or scrambled Mini hot dog style sausages Muesli Fresh breads Cold cuts of meat 3 cereals Bus route outside: No bus on the weekend to the airport runs past the hospital so you have to get a local bus into the city. Taxi to town 167 Kr Walk into the city 25 mins

Hospital Hotel
This is a hospital hotel. It’s connected to a hospital so it’s very weird when you are eating breakfast and sick people abd newborn babies are being walked around. I would t recommend this for vacationers as ithe rooms are setup like hospital rooms. Just doesn’t feel comfortable.

I really enjoyed my stay. The Staff on Reception were friendly, well informed and helpful. The Restaurant Staff were seemingly less eager to please you and I found it hard to get their attention at times. The location was conveniently by a bus stop, which was also a stop for the airport shuttle. The hotel was around 20 mins walk into the town. The bedroom was clean and had all necessities- I would have preferred tea/coffee making facilities in the room but you could buy drinks downstairs easily. The breakfast was a nice continental style as there was cheese, meat, bread and cereal-a gluten free option was available. However when we were there hot food was limited to scrambled/boiled eggs and sausages.

Interesting, but good value option
I stayed at St Svithun (pronounced Sveetun) Hotel what attending a business event in Stavanger whenany other hotels were fully booked or outrageously expensive. It’s fair to say, it’s not your typical business-traveller hotel: in fact it seems to be part of a hospital, and I imagine the rooms are for family/visitors who perhaps wish to stay close to loved one who may be in hospital or recovering. Don’t let that put you off too much, but it is an unusual sight to see patients wandering around the reception area from time-to-time! The upside is that the hotel has a very well-stocked shop on site, selling everything form touristic merchandise to toiletries and magazines - as well as plenty of food options. There is also a decent-looking cafe adjacent. I can’t testify to the breakfast as my business commitments meant I dined out each morning. On the room-side, the room was fairly comfortable and decently appointed, but did suffer from a broken bedside lamp switch and an empty soap dispenser in the shower. Small details, but readily fixed with some attention. Also, my sink clearly had a drainage problem, as it would take several minutes to empty. Don’t let the idea of a “hospitel” put you off too much: it is well-located and quite close to the city centre - oh, and if you did have the misfortune to suffer any health problems during your stay, you are ideally situated!!

Part of a hospital..
Staff overall friendly, great with the fact that we spoke English.. Buffet breakfast included in our price was beautiful, and the packed lunch idea was great and very well priced... Very different being part of a hospital but don't worry it's very much a hotel room and no sick people walking around your halls

Stay in Stavanger for less than $100
I staid at the hotel for a couple of nights after my wife gave birth. This hotel is at a hospital building and has 24/7 midwife on duty to help postpartum moms. We didn't get a double room, so I had to rent a single room for myself. My wife had a full board and the food was average. There is parking available for ~150NOK per day.

It's a nice hotel For a couple, it might not be romantic mostly due to the hotel is inside the hospital. But apart from that its good. We have been here before and they had bedbugs in some rooms, but that's gone now. Internett, and a small tv,not many channels and bo way to rent movies ect

Outstanding value
THis hotel is attached to the hospital and shares a very high standard of cleanliness. It is not located in the heart of Stavangar, which is not a big problem as it is about a twenty minute walk to the town centre. The only issue I have is that you will occasionally be disturbed by a helicopter delivering a patient to the hospital.

Very hotel, but ideal for all
Unlike most hotels in Stavanger, St Svithun is not in the downtown area; it is attached to the university hospital. While not ideal for anyone wanting to visit the sites it is only a 15 min bus ride on the #11 bus from downtown, and the bus stop is right across the street from the hospital. It also has a stop for the flybussen that goes directly to the airport. There is a cafe downstairs and a gift shop as well, both of which are very convient for guests. My wife and I originally had a single room booked by accident (which is typical of European rooms with a very small single bed) but had no problem upgrading to a double room. The room did not have a lot of frills and did not seem to have working AC. Our first room faced the loading area of the hospital and was quite loud. Our second faced the street and while quieter still had a bit of noise with the window open. Also, the wifi did not work in our room only out in the hallway or down in the cafe which was a small annoyance. Overall it was a well priced hotel for Stavanger and fit our needs fairly well.

not worth the money
this hotel is mainly an overspil for the hospital, and is full of day patients waiting for an operation or some kind of consultancy the following day. It is not a place for a business man to stay overnight, and is certainly not worth the £145 GBP i paid for the room for the night.

Hated staying at this HOSPITAL!!!!!
I would NOT had stayed at this hotel if i KNEW it was at a HOSPTAL!!!!!!! I did NOT see this on the site I booked this hotel and it should be written out VERY CLEARLY and NOT come as a surprise!!!! I'm very disappointed to find out this way when I was in the hallway of a HOSPITAL. At breakfast I was surrounded by only people in tracksuit...I felt indeed part of a hospital and I did not choose this. I can only ask business people to stay away..it made me feel sick!!!

Hospital Hotel,
This hotel is attached to the University Hospital in Stavanger. Although it is often used by patients and their families, it is also used by the general public. Given that it's quite difficult sometimes to find a hotel in the downtown area of Stavanger, this is a great option. The price is similar or lower to the downtown locations and a 20 minute walk will get you into the downtown area. The breakfast buffet had a great fresh selection. The rooms are very clean (hospital standards) :) and the staff is helpful. The hotel is used by patients, newborn infants and their familis so don't be surprised to see patients often or even hear babies crying in the hotel. If you are not spooked by hospitals then this is a great place to stay.

The rooms are quite spaceous, clean and comfortable. Perfect if you are visiting the hospital and only a short bus ride from the city centre. The breakfast buffet was perfectly adequate.
