I stayed one night at the Rica Forum, and while the hotel itself is fine, it does nothing to impress me. Location is a bit away from the downtown area, but most guests are probably in town for some conference in the area. The hotel has wifi in all rooms, as to be expected and boasts an impressive view if... More

A good hotel, but noting extraordinary. Hotel location is somewhat remote from the city, but the size of the building means that you have an extraordinary view over the Stavanger area from most rooms. In particular the view from the restaurant on the top floor (21st floor) is spectacular. Probably the best view in town! Some people have been unhappy... More

Last time I stayed some nights at this hotel I stayed in a junior suite and the room was spacious and with fantastic views over the nearby lake, but also the Ryfylke Mountains in the distance. I have also stayed in a double room earlier; this room also had great views. The views from the breakfast/restaurant area are the greatest.... More

This is quite an interesting hotel, being the tallest building for miles around and the restaurant at the top is a nice touch with some great views. The hotel itself is average. Rooms are small unless you get one of the rooms at the end of the floor where the curved walls (the hotel is oval shaped) allow for the... More

Had a couple of nights here on business, and I can recommend it. Slightly out of town, so taxi lumps a fair amount on room price if you want to go out and about, which takes the price up to downtown prices I guess. Still, I wasn't disappointed. Had a good room, ample size for one, breakfast fine, and free... More

Our room eas extremely small, no coffee/tea making in room,no outlet in bathroom. The hotel is very impressive from the outside. We enjoyed a wonderful buffet dinner in the hotel's tower and had a lovely view. Very helpful and courteous staff.

Very expensive parking (not unusual in Stavanger) - but we stayed for 3 weeks and you would think the hotel would give you some kind of voucher if you're long term. Poor choice of menu. Fine if you're only staying one or two nights. No room service. Laundry service is terrible! Clothes frequently get lost, extra clothes in your laundry... More

Very clean and nice room with a great view. The room was simple and very small. But OK if you only spend time in the room for sleep. Style is very simple and neutral. The staff was welcoming, helpful and professional.
