🏨 Stavanger Hotels 2025: Where to Stay & Save 💰

Stavanger is the centre of Norway's oil industry and food production in the south-west of the country. From here, you can reach Preikestolen in an hour, take a boat trip on the Lysefjord and try the best fish soup in the country. The hotel scene is also very varied. You can find designer boutiques in old warehouses and budget hotels very close to the train station. We looked at over 70 properties on Booking, Nordic Choice and Thon in spring and summer 2025 and made a list of the 10 questions travellers ask most often: where to stay close to the cruise pier, how much does a room with breakfast cost in July, do you need to book parking, and how to get a discounted package to Preikestolen. Save this article — we update the prices every three months, and new offers appear every day in the Deals section.
