Clarion Hotel Energy

I was in Stavanger to go to The September When concert at the DNB Arena. The Clarion Hotel Energy is literally just next door, so I didn't have to think about how I was going to get back to my accommodation after the gig. Added bonus: the hotel is halfway between the airport and the centre of Stavanger. The airport bus (FB40) + regular buses and night buses stop just outside. Alternatively, it is an easy walk (past a lovely lake) or cycle to the city centre. Taxis also seem readily available at the hotel. The hotel is also in the vicinity of other big sports complexes, a conference centre, and Sverd i fjell (swords monument), so it seems to be very popular for multiple different groups of guests and has the capacity to accommodate everyone. I chose one of the smallest rooms at the hotel, but it looked new and the bed was super comfortable. I had the best night's sleep! And a nice, powerful shower! My only negative: I really wanted to get room service after the concert**, but there was no menu or QR code in my room to do so. I ended up walking to the 24-hour petrol station 5 minutes away to get some late night food. **It was after midnight and the hotel's restaurant/bar had closed for the day.

Both the desk chair and arm chair had dirty seats. No onsite parking for such a large hotel is not acceptable. Offsite parking was a long trek with luggage. No temporary parking to unload luggage in front of the hotel is poor form. Being told leaving our car out front was at our own risk of being ticketed by the reception person with cold indifference is also porr form!

This is a new hotel with all you need. You get a pretty rich breakfast. There is a children playroom inside with a jumping trampoline. We booked an economy double room and it was too small for a pair, not to mention our baby girl. The room service never came to our room, so we had to throw the garbage ourself - didn't like it. There is no parking nearby, you have to park on P1 Siddis which is about 300 meters away by foot and it's annoying. You pay for the parking separately in the parking garage, there are enough chargers for electric vehicles.

Pay parking is 5 minute walk. While the common areas are warm and inviting, the rooms are not well laid out and do not have quality appointments. No shower curtain.

I was double charged for parking because the receptionist entered my license plate number incorrectly. I had to go back and get some of the charges reversed. Otherwise it was a great experience.

Excellent location. Fantastic staff who were always attentive & helpful to organise tours of the local area and provide information on travel etc. Breakfast was excellent as was dinner. Really relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Really nice room with a great view over Store Stokkevann, great location (on the airport bus route, very easy to get into Stavanger sentrum), lovely staff, really good breakfast!
