Problems with the lock on the garage, solved by allowing parking outside. Rooms are SMALL, but clean. If you need a single bed, order a single bed, as the double will make the room more cramped. But given the price, location and free parking, it was a bargain.

Good hotel with affordable prices

A simple, but good hotel. Very clean, nice staff, affordable prices. Breakfast is not that good. Bacon overcooked, ham, cheese etc was dried out and not very eatable. Check-in and checkout was very effective without all the stupid questions. Can really be recommended for a short stay

Great "micro hotel" not far from Sola Airport

Needed a room for myself near Sola Airport Stavanger, and this was perfect. Great rate, tiny room with tiny bathroom- which is how I live at home. Nice, clean and modern. Friendly staff, easy check-in and -out. Breakfast optional (great selection) and free coffee in the am. Huge breakfast room. Ice available in reception. Right next to Kvadrat shopping center. Would definitely stay again
