The St. Svithun Hostel in Stavanger is a modern hostel with a central location in relation to attractions in and around Stavanger. All our rooms have shower/WC, TV and free wireless Internet access. Breakfast, bed linen and towels are included in our prices. There is good capacity for groups and courses.
St. Svithun is directly connected to Stavanger University Hospital and also functions as a patient hotel for the hospital.
We have our own café, Café Morgenrød, which serves hot and cold dishes every day all year round. In the summer season, Café Morgenrød has a popular outside terrace, Solsiden, where you can order food and drinks.
Our shop, LYST, is centrally located in the entrance hall and is open 24 hours a day. Here you can buy fresh fruit drinks, sandwiches, hot meals and salads from the salad bar. We also sell small gifts, cosmetics, books, magazines and flowers. Everything can either be taken with you or consumed on the premises.
The centre of Stavanger has a bustling street life and the St. Svithun Hostel is close to most things. It is approximately 15-20 minutes walking distance from the town centre, where you can stroll along the cobbled pedestrian streets and enjoy the shopping and outdoor life. You might want to drop into one of the many cosy cafés in the town, or pay a visit to the historical quarter, Gamle Stavanger.
The closest bus stop is only 150 metres away and buses go to and from the centre of Stavanger 4 to 8 times an hour (no. 4 and no. 11). There are good parking facilities in our own fee-paying car park.
Nature is never far away. What about a boat trip on Lysefjorden, to Preikestolen or Kjerag? There are many good walks in our immediate vicinity, and we recommend walking round the Mosvannet Lake or in the Våland gardens.
Stavanger is a perfect base with easy access to both fjords and mountains.

Customer Reviews Stavanger St.Svithun
| 07 May 2013 Lena, Germany | 90% | |
| I stayed only for one night but it was really nice. I booked the cheapest accomodation possibility but had a double bedroom on my own. The breakfast was really nice. I can really recommend it even it is next to an hospital. The city center is 20 min walk or 7 min with the bus (30kroner). I would choose to stay there again anytime. | ||

| I really appreciate for the help from Henriette, who gave me a charger because i forgot to bring mine, it was nice of her. Also a lady from Finland, who tried to help finding a trip for a day around Stavanger. I enjoyed the trip and like the people from the city. I would like to come back, thanks. Dipesh from London | ||

| I did enjoy the hotel. I'd read reviews before getting there. My friend says that the hotel is good value for money, considering it's quite a new place. I don't really have a negative impressions. Good breakfast too | ||

| Very strange location -- in a hospital. It felt a little strange to have breakfast with two-day-old babies around, although the breakfast was very nice. | ||

| great hostel.... i like it | ||
| 23 Sep 2012 Hiu Ching, Denmark | 70% | |
| The location is quite far and a bit difficult to find.
We were travelling in a group of 5 and being allocated 2 rooms. However, the combination was a SINGLE room plus a DOUBLE room with 2 extra beds. It was acceptable if one of the extra bed is not being placed just behind the room door and next to the toilet!
It made the situation bad as the one who was taking that bed will be disturbed by others frequently. I believe Stavanger St. Svithun can make better arrangement on this.
Overall, the room is comfortable and clean. Breakfast is good. | ||
