Scandic Stavanger City
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 cheapest of our Stavanger picks and a short walk to the centre and harbour, with a generous breakfast. If you are driving or want the highest guest score, weigh the parking problems and the lower rating first.

This is our Budget choice in Stavanger. It suits city-break travellers, families who need family rooms, and anyone who wants a solid breakfast without paying harbour-front prices. The hotel is tagged as pet friendly.
Skip it if you are arriving by car and need a guaranteed space, as guests say the garage is often full. Its 8.3 is also the lowest score of the 7 eligible hotels we compared, so the two pricier picks rate better.
Location and getting around
The address is Reidar Berges gate 7. The location score is 8.9.
By our straight-line estimates, the Norwegian Petroleum Museum is about 0.6 km away, roughly 8 minutes on foot, and Stavanger Cathedral is about 0.7 km, around 9 minutes. Sverd i fjell is about 5.3 km, close to 66 minutes on foot, which is far, so you will need public transport or a taxi. These times have not been verified.
Guests say the city centre and harbour are a short walk away and that there is a bus stop outside. Check routes and times for your dates.
What guests say
The score is 8.3 out of 10 from 1,033 reviews. That puts it joint 7th of the 7 eligible hotels we compared, a gap worth knowing about, though 8.3 is still a good score.
Breakfast is the strongest comment. Guests describe an extensive buffet with a wide range of hot and cold food, including lactose-free options.
Parking is the weak point. The underground garage has charging points, but guests say spaces are tight, limited and often full.
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 €178.58 per night. That is 21% below the sample median of €224.76. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Home Hotel Skagen Brygge, scores 8.8 at about €230 per night on the waterfront. Our Luxury pick, Hotel Victoria, scores 8.9 at about €257.54 per night. All three are four-star hotels.
Saving around €51 per night against the Best Value pick is real money in an expensive city. You give up a few minutes of walking time and half a point of guest score.

Before you book

If you are driving, ask the hotel about parking availability and cost before you arrive, and consider a nearby public car park as a backup. Pet rules and fees are not confirmed, so ask if you travel with one. Air conditioning is tagged but not in the main facility list, so confirm it if it matters.
