Comfort Hotel Square sits in the budget-to-mid-range part of the market, aimed at visitors who want modern, clean rooms and a central position without the prices of the harbour hotels. The Comfort brand focuses on essentials: good beds, a decent breakfast and an easy check-in. For travellers who plan to spend their days out on the fjords or trails, it provides a convenient place to rest, and the savings can go towards a fjord cruise or a guided hike.
Rooms are compact and functional, with simple decor, modern bathrooms and good soundproofing. They are not designed for long stays in the room, but they are practical for short city breaks. Breakfast is normally a buffet with a range of items, and it is wise to confirm whether it is included in the rate. Expect fewer facilities than at the larger hotels, such as no spa and a more limited bar and restaurant.
The location is handy for the city centre, though the exact walking time to the harbour and old town depends on your pace and the weather. Stavanger is a compact city, and most visitors find the walk pleasant. In heavy rain, buses and taxis are easy to use. Public transport is a good way to reach sights outside the centre, such as the Swords in Rock.
This hotel is a good choice for budget-conscious couples, solo travellers and small families, particularly in summer, when hotel prices in Norway can be high. Book early for July and August, and check cancellation terms. If you value atmosphere and a view, a waterfront hotel may suit you better, but if you want a clean, modern room at a fair price, this is worth a look.
Value hotels work best when you plan to be out all day. Bring a refillable bottle, take a packed lunch from the breakfast buffet if the rules allow, and use the savings for one great excursion such as a fjord cruise. Ask about early check-in or luggage storage on arrival day, and check the walking route and bus stops before you travel so that you are not guessing in the rain. Reviews from recent guests are the best guide to noise and room size.
