Got a room on third floor: there's no elevator except for a little scary one for handicapped people, wich helped us with our huge bags. Room was nice, with a great view on the port and a clean bathroom. Breakfast is served in the nearby Victoria Hotel and was good aswell. Great value for money

This hotel is part of the Rica Victoria Hotel in the center of the city. We walked into the Victoria without a reservation looking for a room for the night, hoping we would be able to get the discounted internet price. The desk clerk said they were sold out and offered the Skansen, 50 meters away. The Skansen probably used... More

I met no one else in this place, so without the pub next door I would never have dared to go into the abandoned public rooms and up the 3 flights of very smelly stairs. It was just too creepy and slummy, and had an abandoned warehouse-feel to it. There was a ramshackle "handicap-elevator" hidden in a corner, you had... More

You should probably stay here for two reasons: Price and location. It is less expensive than the other choices I found in the downtown Stavanger area. Rooms are spartan and staff almost non-existent. I can see why other reviewers compared this to a hostel. You check in, eat breakfast (a good breakfast), and check out at the Victoria Hotel next... More

I have stayed in Skansen Hotel between 28th May 2011, Sunday and 2nd June, Thursday. It provides the basic amenities. So, if your aim is to find somewhere to sleep only, it is a good place for money. The wireless internet works very smoothly and I believe it is something good. The roadworks were about to finish when I was... More

If a few dollars makes a difference n your life, then book it, but I suggest Hotel Victoria instead. It is next door, but so much better. "Hotel" Skansen doesn't have reception (you check in at Victoria), doesn't have any amenities except for a bar (breakfast is served in Victoria). As a student I have been in nicer hostels than...

I'd really recommend. The room is basic(ish) but has everything you'd need, including a really good shower. The hotel is well located for nightlife, but very wuiet (at least when I was there over a weekend). Most importantly, its the closest the twon has to offer to a reasonably priced hotel (that I could find), and it has a truly... More

We arrived in an area where a road was being demolished including heavy machinery and pneumatic drills which went from 6.45am to 6.30pm right outside our bedroom window. The bedroom has multiple holes in the walls, nowhere to store your clothes and the bathroom lacks any hanging space. The breakfast was served in the hotel next door and was satisfactory.... More
