I stayed at this hotel for two days. Anyone familiar with Norway knows that hotels are generally very expensive. This hotel was by far the most reasonable available in and around Sandnes. The front desk was very polite and helpful, free parking and excellent wireless connection. Breakfast was OK but not part of the nightly cost. The rooms are very,... More

I stayed 2 nights here, and would definitely stay here again for business trips. For a leisure trip, I would probably want to stay closer to downtown Stavanger. However, if you are on a budget, this is really a great value, and there are buses that will take you into town. Check-in was a little slow, but if you have... More

The Smart Hotel is conveniently located close to the Forus area. Rooms are veeery small, but nice, modern and clean. Food is limited to an OK breakfast, soup of the day and microwave meals. Smart cars are rented out at Ok prices. All in all - if what you want is a good night's sleep, but not more than that... More

Room extremely small, uncomfortable, without many services, poor canteen. For the same money you can book a great B&B in town. The lady in the frontdesk behaves like some sort of robot. She could not be more helpless and careless. If you wanna have food, the only choice you get is a bunch of prepacked microwave meals. More

I booked this hotel because it was within walking distance of work and I wanted to avoid very expensive taxi fares in and out of Stavanger. The location is within a retail / industrial area with ample parking and a dedicated (pricey) taxi service. The lobby is airy and bright but the reception isn't signposted and looks like a supermarket... More

I spent 2 nights at the Smarthotel from December 15th to 17th while in town for business. If you are looking for a clean, economical option in Stavanger, especially if you are visiting the Forus area, this is an excellent option for you. Room: I would best describe my room (#415) efficient and functional. My single had a twin bed... More

My business trip to Stavanger put me in the 'business' side of town. Stayed in the Smarthotel which was very convenient to the office I was visiting. The hotel rooms were small but very basic. It is designed as an a la carte experience to allow you to be very basic/ inexpensive. Internet and television both require payment for use.... More

We arrived in Stavanger on a Sunday morning with not a thing open. We were on our way to Lysbotn, Norway (need to bring food provision) and since there is NOTHING open for food we had no choice but to stay in town before heading out our original destination. In through the rain we see a non-descript hotel call smarthotel[-]... More
