Bottom Line

Rica Park stands out for its old-world ambiance: Think floral drapery, studded leather armchairs, and wooden bookcases lined with colorful books. It's intimate at 59 rooms, and the cozy feel is furthered by a lobby fireplace and the smell of freshly-baked waffles wafting through the lobby all afternoon, a treat for returning guests or those checking in. The decor and style of guest rooms (particularly the bathrooms) is a bit unexciting, especially considering the pleasant lobby, but they're large, and the hotel has a fairly central location near the lake and theater.

Oyster Hotel Review

Scandic Stavanger Park

Location

Not directly in the city center, but still a short walk to most sights, and right across from the city's main theater (Rogaland Teater).

Rica Park is not in Stavanger's city center, but because it's a small city, most sights are still within walking distance of the hotel. Theater-goers will appreciate being right across the street from Rogaland Teater, which is Stavanger's main theater for plays and concerts.

Stavanger is a small city with charm to spare. Old Town is one of the most appealing historic areas in all of Norway, with cobbled streets, quaint white wooden houses, and flowering gardens. The city also has the advantage of being close to both beaches and skiing: In fact, it's possible to drive to the slopes in the morning and hit up the beaches in the afternoon. Boat trips to the Lysefjord depart right from the harbor; though the Lysefjord is not as famous as the Sognefjord, it's still very beautiful and access is more convenient. For cultural attractions, Stavanger offers several interesting museums, including the Canning Museum and the Petroleum Museum. (Stavanger is a hub for businesspeople in the oil industry.)

  • 2-minute walk to Rogaland Teater
  • 3-minute walk to Breiavatnet, Stavanger's main lake
  • 6-minute walk to Stavanager Cathedral
  • 7-minute walk to main square and harbor (departure point for Lysefjord cruises)
  • 13-minute walk to Old Town (Gamle Stavanger)
  • 13-minute walk to the Norwegian Canning Museum
  • 13-minute walk to the Norwegian Petroleum Museum
  • 6-minute drive to Godalen Beach
  • 17-minute drive to Sola Beach
  • 55-minute drive to Brusand Beach (considered Norway's best beach)
  • 1-hour-25-minute drive to skiing at Sirdal
