Room was serviced daily. I could change the temperature to my liking. The highlight was the breakfast! Coming from the US, this breakfast is nothing like we get in the states, aside from staying in bougie, expensive hotels, you won't find this. Breads galore, 5 types of eggs, vegetables, fruits, you name it, they've got it. I wanted to take allllll the pictures of food, but I also didn't want to ruin the breakfast mood. The most important thing is that they have 2 coffee machines in the breakfast area alone. There is a lobby space with a nespresso machine so you could enjoy coffee all day round. I am glad I picked this hotel and would absolutely come back!

Our room was nice and clean! It was a great treat to have a comfy bed after traveling for the past 7 days and recharge before our Kjeragbolten hike! The breakfast was AMAZING! It was actually the best I had since I started traveling. They even a section of food to pack for hikers. Love Scandinavian breakfast. Parking was tough though. If parking on the street, make sure you read the signs. Otherwise, there's a parking garage about a block away from the hotel. Thank you Radisson Blu for a great experience on our first day in Norway!

Fabulous location near shopping, the wharf, museums. The reason for the less than perfect rating…read moreis that the entrance is dirty and gives a poor fist impression. However once inside the staff is very helpful and kind. The rooms are a bit small - but still fine. Bathrooms are adequate. Spotlessly clean inside. Breakfast was the standard Norwegian fare - but hot and fresh. Would recommend if you want an urban hotel that is not a chain.

If I have to say what are the most memorable moments during my recent trip to Norway, I must say…read morethat this hotel/restaurant offered the most satisfying accommodation and best gastronomy experience on my 2-1/2-week trip in Norway. Its rooms are not luxurious but comfortable and so close to nature with modern convenience. We woke up early in the morning and enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery surrounding our cabins, in addition to enjoying some wonderful moments with their resident goats. Both the dinner and breakfast were excellent, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The best is its refreshing drinking water which comes from their own well! I look forward to staying here again if I visit Stavanger area again!

Post hike to Mån and Månafossen, this is a well known local and famous Norwegian Inn, Gift Shop,…read moreand Restaurant. It does not disappoint in any of its offerings. I'll start with the gift shop. It's not to be missed. The gift shop is enormous. Upon entering, you see Norwegian and other European teas, coffees, candies, chocolates, etc. As you walk in further, you see where they make candles. You will then find a large array of beautiful handmade in-house candles of every type and color. Some are of animals (the owls were my favorite) and lovely tapers and other decorative candles. I was surprised to see they had Yankee candles towards the back of the room as well, seeing as their decorative handmade candles are far superior (even if unscented). There's a section where you buy tapers and then kids can dip their own tapers in different wax colors. You'll also find as well as beautiful hand carved and honed wooden cheeseboards and cutting boards, with cheese slicers and knives ranging from high end to more affordable to suit everyone's needs. There are typical tourist items such as magnets, troll figurines, postcards, etc. As you continue into the back, there is an amazing, well lit "cave-like" room of "stone" that has affordable and attractive jewelry made with semiprecious gemstones such as tiger eye, peridot, amethyst, rose quartz. There are also animal figurines made from quartz, as well as numerous types of uncut semi-precious gemstones and quartz that you can buy. I bought a lovely tiger eye bracelet for roughly $10US. The room also has a classic old car, several beautiful wooden carved chairs to take pictures with that are depictions of trolls and giants. There are large piles of high quality sheepskins, reindeer skins, etc. Scandinavians like to put these on leather and other furniture to keep you warm in winter and to protect the furniture. It has a large Christmas (Jul) section upstairs as well as a nice selection of Norwegian Hiking/Winter Jackets, socks, tourist t-shirts. I ended up buying a high quality, waterproof yet breathable Nordic Ski Jacket for around $60US on sale. It has the Norwegian Flag on the sleeve, which is pretty cool. It's going to be great this winter as I needed a new XC ski jacket. The restaurant: It's gorgeous. I can imagine it seems very inviting and cozy in winter with its candlelit, dark wood tables. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. I ordered the poached trout which was served with a side of dill cream sauce, buttery potatoes, salad of carrots and also coleslaw. The fish and potatoes were very good; I had never had orange trout before. It reminded me a bit of salmon. My friends got a traditional meatball dinner and a lamb shank dinner. I have to admit, that lamb shank looked and smelled amazing and disappeared quickly off the fork. I would definitely order that if I were to come again. The meatballs, stewed peas, potatoes were served with traditional brown sauce and lingonberry jam. That too was consumed with gusto (what do you expect after hike?) and my Norwegian friends said that the dish was accurate in its flavors. Pastries were had a dessert. I found them a bit too dry for me, but as I rarely eat pastries, I just had a bite. Behind and above the restaurant are lovely traditional hotel rooms. There is also a small viking replica village with goats and other animals (only goats were present while we were there). There are also a couple more large wooden carved statues and chairs to get your picture taken with. With the lovely mountain view in the background, it's a truly spectacular location.

Rooms are bright with a bed, desk, TV, chair and table, plus a wardrobe in the entry way. I always appreciate a sofa, but I'm not complaining. Bathroom is on the smaller side. The reception is big and modern, and the staff we encountered were polite and friendly. You can buy a few drinks in the reception if you don't want to walk to a store. Breakfast was very tasty, with real eggs in the scramble, but I missed the mini sausages that for me are a hotel breakfast classic! We travelled with an infant and the staff were super helpful with sterilizing bottles and boiling water for us. This alone made my review jump from three to four stars.

The B and B is also in close proximity to some great little hikes. I could go on and on. I was in town for BASE jumping (perhaps you will be, too?), and was thusly stoked that there are both indoor and outdoor packing spaces. Hosts Aud Eli and Kjell felt like family by the end of the week. They have such caring, friendly, generous spirits and fantastic stories. I have a huge place in my heart for this B&B. Can't wait to return.

It's the cheapest way to get accommodation in Norway, short of Couch Surfing. I was expecting a bed in a 6 person dormitory but to my surprise got my own room, not too shabby and not bad. It has a private bathroom and a single bed, which was a pleasant surprise. The hotel isn't the newest act in town, in fact the area seems like a remnant of World War 2 - unpaved streets and worn out buildings...but one can't complain considering I got a 3 start hotel for the price of a hostel. As with most Hosteling International hostels, breakfast is free. And here was another excellent surprise, the breakfast here is by far the best offering out of all the hostels I've been to! Eggs, bacon, cheeses, fruit, make your own waffles, assorted fresh breads, canned mackerel, pickled fish, coffee, the list goes on and on and on. Considering the average price for a Norwegian lunch is somewhere in the neighborhood of $25-35 this Hostel is a steal for $45/night!

They served breakfast that day starting at 6:00am so we snagged a quick bite from their impressive buffet menu; the breakfast selection was a definitely a pleasant surprise and we only wish we had more time to eat because everything looked so tasty! Rooms were very clean, comfortable, and we liked the showerhead. Even though we were only here for 1 night, we enjoyed our stay here and appreciated the great customer service and that Quality Suites accommodated a room for us. If you need a hotel near the airport or ferry terminal, I would recommend this hotel.
