I stayed at the hotel with a colleague, during a exhibition at Stavanger Forum. I didn't try the dinner at the hotel, since we ate at the conference center. The rooms are a little small, but the view is great if you are in the higher rooms! The breakfast was as expected in a Rica hotel, with everything I would... More

Im not expecting a lot of glamour on my business trips, but neither should you if you stay at the Forum. OK (on the small side) rooms, and a OK view from 14. floor. OK breakfast at the top floor. The Hotel is pretty far from the center, i think a taxi is about 150 NOK. Had one evening meal... More

The rooms are very small and not the cleanest one. Basically the whole hotel is not really clean especially the restaurant is dirty. The breakfast is excellent. Parking is free, location is ok, view amazing( the windows are very dirty) Underfloor heating in the bathroom what makes you feeling comfortable. More

Good hotel, nice breakfast with lot of choices, with own selection for kids. The breakfast and restaurant was on the top floor (21st) with great view. We booked a family room and got spacious room at 14th floor. The hotel has some offers to activate the kids. It seemed to be a fitness room in the top floor. This was... More

This hotel is 21 stories high right off the highway and not close to Stavanger. In fact, we never even made it to Stavanger as we went on the fiord ferry and explored around there. Our room was nice and clean, the staff nice, the breakfast, if eaten early, shared with many many people on bus tours but it was... More

Overall,I would recommend this hotel as it was clean,the food good&the staff efficient and helpful. Even though there was free wifi,it was only available on 1st 2nd&3rd floor which meant leaving the room to gain access,quite inconvenient. The breakfast buffet was extensive,very tasty. More

I stayed here for a conference, but my wife and young son were with me and we extended our trip to explore a bit of Scandanavia. The hotel was fine - everything you would expect or need. It is not walking distance from town, but the buses are quick, cheap, and easy to figure out. Taxi's are available too, and... More

I lived in Stavanger a couple of years ago and the Rica Forum hotel was at the bottom of my street. To be honest I did not really like the fact it was such a tall tower (not really happy with heights). I had to return to Stavanger for business and thought, considering their weekend price that I would give... More

The hotel is definitely only for business trip. The location is not really great. It will take a while to get to the airport and city center especially during rush hour although Stavanger is not a big city. The room and bathroom are quite small even for european standard but it is enough for business trip. It has free internet... More

Location Location - they say. well this hotel is smack bang in the middlle of ONS conference but frankly even with all the plus points of location/food etc - its just too far out of Stavanger to be useful in the 'Busy period" - as just everybody leaves at the same time. The hotel suffers from a lack of lifts... More
