Nice room and good service. Great breakfast served in the room.
This place is a special treat - great staff and exellent rooms. Details that bring a little extra. Really good breakfast served in the room in the morning. Comfy bed.
Absolutely stunning experience, do not stay anywhere else in Stavanger. Worth the entire trip to Norway. Amazing food recommendations and delicious breakfast in room. Comfiest bed and wonderful staff.
The hotel was in a great location, it was beautiful and we had a fantastic view! The staff was excellent and made us feel very welcome. The beds were super comfy! We will definitely recommend and will be back to stay again.
This was the most incredible hotel experience I’ve ever had- honestly. I feel so lucky I was able to get one of the twelve rooms here. The friendliness, attention to detail and service were unsurpassed..Can I give more than 5 stars?? I’m definitely coming back next year! Stina made my two day stay in Stavanger my best experience so far in Norway. HIGHLY recommend.
Eilert Smith Hotel exceeded our expectations!!! This is a Luxury Boutique Hotel. They treat you like royalty right when you walk in the door. I would definitely stay there again in Stavanger. It was the best of all places we stayed in Norway. It didn’t have the most amenities or even the best views but it made up for it in service and quality of the room and everything in the room. Top class linens and towels, coffee, organic local tea, turn down service, heated towel hanger, heated toilet seat with bidet, free snacks and chocolate! I only wish the restaurant wasn’t full. Reservations required 3-4 months in advance!
We were warmly welcomed by Stina. She is wonderful along with all the staff here.
Breakfast is served in the room. It was the best breakfast we had on our Nordic trip. We are definitely coming back.
This was the best hotel experience, hands down. The staff met and exceeded all our needs and accommodated all our requests, including having camomile tea for me after dinner ready in our room, making dinner reservations for us just based on what we felt like eating in general, cleaning my hiking boots from the pulpit rock hike so I could pack them in my suitcase, sourcing a teapot for me to take back, as I got used to my routine of tea in the evening. Literally, anything I asked for, they were happy to oblige. Breakfast every morning in our room felt so luxurious and what a great spread. We loved this hotel and highly recommend it to everyone. It is the best hotel anywhere! The rooms are modern and very nice.
Convenient Locatioin : We got into Stervanger by bus. The hotel is close to bus terminal, about 10 minutes on foot. Also, it was close to the ferry terminal where departs the ferry to get Preikestolen. Plus, it was convenient to reach restaurants, shops, and historical places where must see.
Excellent Service : Since we were Japanese, it was great to have a Japanese staff who gave us excellent services, such as restaurant recommendations and arrangements, providing detailed information to get Preikestolen, she even attended to the ferry terminal in the morning to make sure we get on the right ferry. She also arranged our breakfast earlier time to get the first ferry of the day. And more, she provided little thoughtful services that made us feel special.
Management System : The hotel has not ordinaly system which is conveninet for guest. No room key, but privided 4-digit number to get into the room. You can drink all beverages in the refrige, inclding beer and wine. Breakfast will be delivered in a box in the morning, so you can eat in the room. There is a littel kitchen-like space. Cutlery, knife, cups and glasses are there. No check-out troublesome, just you can leave.
Bathroom : It was amazing that the tilet has "washlet" (tilet is built-in electric bidet). No bath-tub, only shower space, but it is good enough for us. Nice bathlobe and slippers.
Room: Pretty clean and spacious.
