Picolo recommends · Hotel in Stavanger, Norway
Thon Hotel Stavanger
A city hotel above a shopping centre, where breakfast is included and a light evening reception keeps you going until dinner.
When the rain sets in, you can go from your room to the shops without stepping outside. Thon Hotel Stavanger shares its building with a shopping centre in the middle of town, with both Breiavatnet and the harbour within easy reach.
Breakfast is part of the rate, and in the evening the hotel puts out a simple reception for guests. Reviews keep coming back to two things: the breakfast spread and the friendliness of the staff.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Thon Hotel Stavanger
We chose this Thon for families and short trips where convenience matters more than style. With breakfast sorted and shops downstairs, the practical side of a stay looks after itself.
Do not expect atmosphere. It is a functional city hotel, the rooms are simple, and the shopping centre setting has little to do with the old harbour town most visitors come to see.
