My stay at the red brick house was cozy and convenient. The rooms were small but contained the very basics, with a heater to keep warm and a good place for the suitcase. However, the shower curtain always stuck on my legs, which was a bit uncomfortable. The service was excellent, with friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable staff who went out of their way to be helpful. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Stavanger, just a 10-minute walk to the city center and train station. The dining experience was delightful, with delicious and plentiful options at the sister hotel across the street. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall experience.

My stay at the Victoria Hotel was above average. The rooms were clean and warm, although a bit noisy at all hours of the day. The service provided by the exceptionally welcoming and understanding hosts was excellent. The location was prefect, close to the fjord, fish market, and many bars and restaurants. The breakfast next door was good but the noise level lasted until early in the morning.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was superb, right in the heart of Stavanger with easy access to all the nearby attractions. The rooms, although clean and neat, were a bit small for the price paid. The service was friendly and helpful, and the dining experience was good value for money. However, the noise from the bar below and the late-night street activities were a downside.
