I stayed here overnight on a business trip, arriving late one evening
and leaving immediately after breakfast the following morning.
The style was pretty minimalist, which is ok, but I found the steely grey doors a little depressing.
The room was adequate in size, and the furniture was comfortable, but
lacking in some basic amenities. For example there was no alarm clock, and no indication anywhere of how one might obtain a wake up call - essential in my case. In fact I couldn't find anything in the room listing hotel services. The shower could best be described as institutional. The heated floor in the bathroom was a nice touch, but I found it by accident as the label on the switch was in Norwegian only.
The breakfast may well have been good by Scandinavian standards, but most of it didn't appeal to me. The orange juice had run out, and I couldn't see any staff to ask for further supplies. On the plus side the coffee was good and the bread was certainly fresh.
Overall I had a satisfactory night here, but a little more effort by the management could have significantly improved the experience.

This is a great hotel
Guest name: jonywishbone, aberdeen
I have stayed in this hotel at least 5 times once for 6 weeks whilst working in Stavanger. This hotel is always spot for clean rooms and comfort. It's more expensive through the week but a really good deal on the weekend. A room overlooking the harbour is a must and the mini-suites ( there's 2) are always a good upgrade. It's right in centre of town and there's a nice sauna and steam room. One of my top 5 hotels anywhere. Stavanger is a beautifully clean and friendly town, can get a bit lively on Fri/Sat night just go with the flow.
Best in Stavanger

I really enjoyed my stay at the Skagen Brygge.
It is, of course, expensive (especially during the week) but then so are all Stavanger hotels. I do think it is the best hotel in Stavanger, and I have stayed in a few. I would recommend it above the more run of the mill business hotel chains.
The room was really nice with lovely views onto the harbour - I had a junoir suite although I though 'suite' might have mean it would be bigger. I would recommend upgrading to a sea view if you can afford it. Beds comfortable, ameneties sparkling clean. And a great sauna.
The breakfast were good, although not as good variety as you get, say in the Victoria. The service was always good.
The only negatives I can think of was that it got extremely hot during the day with the south facing windows, and it was also very light at night (the curtains didn't keep out the midnight sun as well as they might). But these were minor I thought.
All in all a lovely place to stay.

I am honestly sorry for it but I cannot recommend anyone to stay at this lovely hotel.
We arrived in Bergen the day before Xmas and were supposed to stay there for a total of 4 nights.
First the good bits:
The hotel itself is actually very nice. Pretty building and lovely view from the room. Sauna is excellent and the rooms are modern, clean and well looked after.
So at first we were really happy to stay there.
BUT:
We were happy until 1 am in the morning when the bar 100 yards away started playing loud music for 2 hours. REALLY loud so both of us woke up and we actually had to give up after some time and ask at reception for a room change.
So they gave us the room furthest away from the bar, at the back of the hotel (not much view there) and it was ok. But you could still hear the music, just quiet enough so we could sleep a bit.
And that was the day before Christmas; don’t ask me how summer will be. And according to the bars schedule they have life bands almost every day.
We complained at reception and were told that ‘This is something you have to live with in the city centre.’
Thanks…..
So we changed for the Radisson SAS, which is by far not as pretty but very quiet, friendly and just as close to the middle of town.
The Sakgen Brygge would have been 4 stars for me without the noise. But in this case I honestly think 1 star is good enough for a night without sleep.

This was disappointing-the room seemed really worn and smelt of smoke even tho it was non-smoking.We were upgraded to a junior suite but it was nothing special.The bed was miniscule -only 1 towel,duvet provided.There was also a power cut that lasted 15 minutes in the night.When we rang to enquire the receptionist was a bit rude .However breakfast and views were good-our son liked the free waffles.
ps they have a restaurant concept thing which seemed just an excuse for not having a restaurant themselves
stay in the radisson royal--much better !!
