St Svithun Hotel

It was a good stay as normal

Noisy, bad view.

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

Given it is adjoined to a hospital, there is only a canteen or shop for food. The canteen closes at 7pm.

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.

We had a spacious clean room . The breakfast was fine with a variety of choice and all staff were helpful and welcoming.

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!!

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.

Innsjekking til hotellet ligger litt rart til. Iallefall i disse koronatider. Felles med sykehus! Var litt redd rommet lå litt for nær helikopterplassen men det hørte jeg ingenting til. Greit enkeltrom. Flislegging på bad som foventet med vann fra dusj rennende ut feil vei. Renholdere kan med fordel sjekkes litt bak dusjdøra inne i dusjen

Dette er et sykehushotell. Det føles slik og. Det er rent og greit og fungerer for 1 natt. Prisen forsvarer det. Kommer en sent ikke regn med å få tak i mat. Fodoora er redningen.
