Good hotel with affordable prices

A simple, but good hotel. Very clean, nice staff, affordable prices. Breakfast is not that good. Bacon overcooked, ham, cheese etc was dried out and not very eatable. Check-in and checkout was very effective without all the stupid questions. Can really be recommended for a short stay

Great "micro hotel" not far from Sola Airport

Needed a room for myself near Sola Airport Stavanger, and this was perfect. Great rate, tiny room with tiny bathroom- which is how I live at home. Nice, clean and modern. Friendly staff, easy check-in and -out. Breakfast optional (great selection) and free coffee in the am. Huge breakfast room. Ice available in reception. Right next to Kvadrat shopping center. Would definitely stay again

I stayed in small double room, which was really small. I noticed all rooms are small for this chain hotel. 20min walk from train station, which I find quite far. Not 24 hr reception.
