Nice hotel, quite centrally located. Parking is quite expensive, but I would say Stavanger average. Breakfast is nice and quite a good food selection.

Lovely hotel, nice location.
Great hotel in an ideal location for visiting Stavanger harbour area. The second morning we were there was extremely busy for breakfast and there wasn’t really enough food coffee or drinks put out. Other than that, a really nice hotel.

This is a wonderful hotel from check in to check out! The lobby is beautiful with several quaint sitting areas and a huge breakfast area / restaurant. The breakfast is amazing and delicious! The pool area is funky and very nice with a great hot tub, sauna, etc. And our room was very nice and quiet. The hotel is convenient and walkable to all areas, restaurants, train/bus, museums in central Stavanger. We had a very fun stay!

Room was comfortable but could’ve used more pillows. Otherwise loved the spacious room. Would have liked to see some local ciders offered at bar, but not a deal breaker. Bartenders were friendly. Front desk staff were helpful. Parking in Stavanger is a pain for someone like me, especially with road construction going on. But we managed. Only real issue we ran into was a drunk man in hot tub. He wouldn’t leave my wife alone. He scared another couple out of hot tub because he was practically crawling all over them. Then he started talking rudely to my wife…so we left. It was very disappointing because I chose this hotel for its hot tub and sauna for the last day of our vacation in Norway.

Lovely stay
Had a great stay hotel is easy to find and in close proximity to public transport and attractions. Room was very spacious and very clean. Bed was comfortable and linen and towels of good quality. Breakfast was amazing with so much choice. Pool /sauna/and gym was nice .Area was clean . Only down side was we had to book in advance which was not a problem for us . No information was given about having to take towels to the pool with us so we had to nip back up to the room before we entered the pool. Jacuzzi was out of order but that did not spoil our time. Pool area only has 2 loungers and about 6 chairs to use . Near the sauna is a seating area with a padded material cushion that did smell of wet dog when you were down that area of the pool but that might just be my sensitive nose . Overall we had a great weekend and would stay again. All staff we came in to contact with were polite and looked like they enjoyed their job

Awesome Hotel, Direspectful Guests
I've had ups and downs during a short stay in this hotel, but the downs were solely related to the other guests during breakfast. The staff, the pool and sauna area, the room, and the location were all super nice. We were even surprised with a room upgrade upon arrival 🤗 Also, this is potentially the best-cleaned room I've ever experienced in Norway (seriously).
I would just suggest having someone check the room/hour booked for breakfast and communicating that you can only go to breakfast at the designated time slot. Otherwise, you won't be let in. Despite having a system where guests can book a breakfast slot, almost no one respects that. The outcome is that breakfast is overcrowded, with many disrespectful people leaving mess everywhere. That is the one thing I hated during my stay.
I know that the hotel staff is trying to put things in "order," and that is appreciated. I mean, the fact that you can reserve a time to go to the pool when there are no kids around and the fact that the pool is open until 11:00 PM were highlights. And please, please don't ever change that!
All in all, I recommend staying here. The breakfast won't be the most pleasant experience during weekends, but all the other things make Scandic Royal an excellent hotel in Stavanger.
P.S. I've seen others commenting that the hotel is too loud. My room window faced Folken (a concert house), and there were people partying outside, but I couldn't hear anything as long as my window was closed.

Pros: delicious breakfast with lots of choices, Karoline was incredibly helpful and amazing at the front desk with our needs, great amenities even though we didn’t use them, good room, shower, and bathroom, would stay here again
Cons: the location is fine although it isn’t in the cutest part of Stavanger but very walkable, hallway was a bit dark as some lights were very dim which reduces security

The hotel has a pool but you have to make a reservation. I my case I had a check in after normal working hours and it was not positive to get access to the pool area as it was already booked. I you rent out hotel rooms with access to a pool and fitness area it should be accessible for everyone.
