Smarthotel Forus

The rest was good enough, but the bedroom and bathroom were on the small side. The electrical sockets in the bedroom weren’t in the most convenient spots.

We were looking for a place to stay in Stavanger, where hotels were so expensive, and were lucky to find this Smarthotel. It cost significantly less than similar options. For that price I didn’t expect anything especially nice, but it was modern and really clean. The artwork was a bit quirky. There was a scowling little girl in our room, so we covered her with a sheet at bedtime, haha! Breakfast isn’t provided, but having a mall right next door made it easy to grab a snack. We could also charge our rental car there. The rooms were very small, though the bathroom was a good size. Outside, there was a bit of an industrial smell, but we couldn’t smell it inside the hotel. The drive to Stavenger was easy. If you just need a clean, comfortable place to sleep, this works well.

For what we paid, the room was absurdly small and not worth it. You could get a bigger room for the same price even in central Oslo. There was barely room to move, and although it was meant for two people, it would hardly fit one. The only upside was being close to a Domino's.

For what it costs, it’s okay. Check-in and checkout are done on an iPad, and the rooms are small. It’s only 12 minutes from the airport.
