Picolo recommends · Hotel in Stavanger, Norway
Clarion Hotel Stavanger
A fire burning in reception, the cathedral round the corner and the colourful street of Øvre Holmegate only a stroll away.
Come in from the rain and the first thing you see is the fireplace in reception. Clarion Hotel Stavanger sits in the middle of town near the cathedral, with Old Stavanger and Øvre Holmegate, the street where every house is painted a different colour, a short stroll away.
The hotel has The Social, a bistro for dinner, along with a bar and a gym. It is placed so you can walk to the harbour, Breiavatnet and the station without ever checking a bus timetable.

Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Clarion Hotel Stavanger
We chose this Clarion for weekends where you want to walk everywhere and still have a lively bar and a dinner option under the same roof. It suits couples, groups of friends and work trips.
It is large and busy, and it can feel more efficient than intimate. Breakfast is not included on every rate, so read the booking terms carefully before you pay.
