Hotel Victoria
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, book it if you want the best-rated hotel among the 7 we compared in Stavanger, a harbour location and a breakfast guests remember. Ask about room size when you book, since some rooms are small with little space for luggage.

This is our Luxury choice in Stavanger. It suits couples and travellers who want the top guest score in town and a central base near the harbour, bars and restaurants. Family rooms are listed and the hotel is tagged as pet friendly.
Skip it if you travel with large suitcases and cannot risk a small room, or if you want five-star facilities. It is a four-star hotel, and the facility list is short.
Location and getting around
The address is Skansegaten 1. The location score is 9.7, joint best among our Stavanger picks.
By our straight-line estimates, the Norwegian Petroleum Museum is about 0.3 km away, roughly 4 minutes on foot, and Stavanger Cathedral is about 0.4 km, around 5 minutes. Sverd i fjell is about 4.9 km, close to 61 minutes on foot, which is far, so plan on public transport or a taxi. These times have not been verified.
Guests say the harbour, restaurants and bars are close, and that transport is within walking distance. Parking is not listed in our data, so ask the hotel if you are driving.
What guests say
The score is 8.9 out of 10 from 2,048 reviews, joint 1st of the 7 eligible hotels we compared, and the most reviews among our three picks in the city.
Breakfast gets specific praise. Guests mention an extensive spread including fresh honeycomb and brown cheese, served in a classic dining hall.
Room size is the complaint. Some rooms are described as spacious, while others are small with limited luggage space. You may not know which you will get unless you ask.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults came to about €257.54 per night, against a sample median of €224.76. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Scandic Stavanger City, scores 8.3 at about €178.58 per night. Our Best Value pick, Home Hotel Skagen Brygge, scores 8.8 at about €230 per night, with the same location score. All three are four-star hotels.
The step up from the Best Value pick is about €27.54 per night for a tenth of a point more. Whether it is quieter at night than the Best Value pick is not confirmed, and room size is the known tradeoff here.
Why it made our top 3
