Recensioni su Thon Partner Stavanger Forum Hotel

The first thing to say is that I booked the wrong hotel. I thought I was booking the Thon hotel in central Stavanger. I was a bit nonplussed to find out that I had actually booked one 4 KM out of the centre. That being said, I was very happy that I did. It is very easy indeed to get in to the centre of town. Busses run every 15 minutes or so, 300m from the hotel to the centre of town. Also, a huge plus was that if you need a bit of a respite from the hustle and bustle (?) of Stavanger, there is a great walk round the lake right next to the hotel. As it turned out, the location was great. The hotel itself is in a fairly iconic Stavanger building - it even has a nickname - the Mobile Phone! The views from the rooms on the higher floors are astounding. The roomsare more than adequate - clean and comfortable with fridge and kettle. The rooms themselves are a bit on the small side perhaps, but more or less what you expect from a modern hotel these days. Breakfast is served in the roof top restaurant, where you can gorge yourself on a full Norwegian Breakfast (like a full English breakfast, only without the risk of heart attack), while admiring a truly stunning view. The restaurant also serves as a bar at night and it a great place for a sun-downer. The thing about Norway in Summer is that you can combine a sundowner with a nightcap! It is expensive, but this is Norway! The prices in Norwegian terms are reasonable. We regretted not being able to try the dinner buffet. It looked delicious. The staff could not have been more helpful. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. My abiding impression was that they were truly happy in their work! I strongly recommend this hotel. By the way, as an added extra, if you have free day in Stavanger, go to Flor og Fjære. It is truly mind-blowing.
