Stavanger St Svithun Vandrerhjem

Stavanger

Hotel and Vandrerhjem (youth hostel) in one. Our hostel room was clean, bright, decently large and had both its own bathroom, as well as flat screen TV and Internet access. In the entrance area you will find a large cafeteria with Convenience Shop. The city centre can be reached in half an hour on foot. Although the accommodation is integrated into the university hospital, there is still no hospital feeling.

Good, multifunctional accommodation to explore Stavanger

It's quite strange to be staying in part of a hospital but don't let this put you off. The rooms were quite big, with sofas and a TV, and like the rest of the hotel/hostel it's very clean. The breakfast was nice although quite limited to what to choose from. 
There is a helipad is right outside and occasionally be quite noisy but other times you won't notice them. 
The hotel is located a couple of miles outside of central Stavanger but, if you don't fancy a 40min walk, then the bus links make it easy to get in and takes about 15 mins. There is a train station about 20mins walk away, Paradis stasjon, and offers links to Central Stavanger and also to the VK Stadium. All in all it's a great place to stay and recommend.

Weird but good

In a country like Norway can you sleep spending little? Here you can. Hospital hostel with castle bed and bathroom in room. Clean, functional and without fringes. You answer with a common kitchen and small supermarket. Not far from the center offers for example a room with 4 beds for 80 euros. A good solution for those who have few needs. Free open parking for those traveling by car

Economic and functional

We stayed here three nights while in Stavanger.  The location was far from downtown, but a great place to stay.  It was attached to a hospital and shared the hospital lobby, gift shop, and cafeteria - all very nice.  There was a bus stop nearby, and the best taxi reservation system I've ever seen.  The rooms are spartan with bunk beds for 4, and a great shower.  We stayed on the 5th floor and it was very quiet.  The real treat was interacting with the locals in the lobby and cafeteria. Newly delivered babies came down with their mothers and family members which gave us many wonderful insights into their healthcare system.  The food was cafeteria style and 
 excellent.  I actually walked there from the downtown once and took only 25 minutes.  We found a grocery store a short walk away and loaded up with essentials.  This was a low-cost, and exceptionally clean place to stay. There was a kitchen in the basement where we met an enjoyable family from Turkey and a side room for dining.

Really great, unusual place to stay and eat

Enjoyed staying here in the twin share room. I am a solo traveller and had been staying in multiple bed dorm rooms for most of my travels through Europe. It was nice to stay in a hotel style room but at an affordable price shared with one other person. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very convent to have the food canteen on ground floor for early morning hikes! 

Great room after traditional dorm room shares

Stayed for 2 nights there. 
10 minutes away from city centre.
Many bus around from there to the city.
Quiet, love it.
Provide a full kitchen, suitable for me who needs to save.

Clean room & bed, complete with TV & sofa. Luxury for a hostel actually. :)
Should you need to get to the jetty, one bus ride away. 

There is a shop downstairs should you need ready made sandwich, bread, coffee etc.

Money worth speed.!

Clean, Perfect & worth it

During my hiking trip, I have had a chance to stay in St Svithun Hostel and I can confirm it was a decent stay without doubt. Despite being the fact that the hostel is attached to a larger hospital and always appeared busy but still the reception was approachable. People were pleasant and very helpful. My single room was quite decent, clean with all the basics. As most of the days ended up in leaving the hostel for the hike very early, still managed to get some hot drinks and food pre and post hike without any problem. Hospital restaurant serves hot food till 7sh and still you have a decent café next to it where you can buy decent snacks and drinks. Also there is a small kiosk at the front end. Good access to the town centre via buses and taxis every 10-15min and so does to the airport. In my opinion, this is a quite decent hotel and surely served the purpose for my stay during my summer hikes (both Prekiestolen and Kjerag) with Outdoor Norway.

Highly recommended!

Yes, it is in a hotel. The entrances where the patients are and next to the hospital reception is the hostel. In fact, the plant where we were, a hallway took you to the maternity ward, but it is very nice. The room is huge. You have to make the bed and undo it in the morning, but no problem. The bathroom is large but hospital. It is quiet. Equipped with kitchen, laundry, dryer. It is 20-30' foot from the bus station which is in the center.

It's not a bad and good price.

The hostel is located in a wing of a hospital. Something rare, but many people stay in the study or go to the hospital. As for the hostel, comfortable, clean. They are only staying for one night. I recommend it for short stays, traveling alone. The lobby snack bar is quite good and complete, although expensive.

Hostel de passage, recommended

It is a very clean and hygienic hostel. It is located right next to the hospital, it takes about half an hour on foot to get to Stavanger directly, but buses also go in that direction. Breakfast is not included in the price.
