About

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 linens and towels are included in the price, and we also offer laundry services. We can accommodate all kinds of groups and have amenties for business meetings and conferences. There is a common kitchen avaliable for our visitors, together with the common room where guests can socialize and find information on Stavanger and surroundings. St. Svithun is directly connected to Stavanger University Hospital and also functions as a patient hotel for the hospital. Medical helicopter landings might occur from time to time, but rarely during the night. We have our own cafe, Cafe Morgenrød, which serves breakfast, hot and cold dishes every day all year round. In the summer season, Cafe Morgenrød has a popular outside terrace, Solsiden, where you can order food and drinks. Our shop, LYST, is centrally located in the lobby 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 center 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 center, where you can stroll along the cobblestone pedestrian streets and enjoy the shopping and nightlife. You might want to drop into one of the many cosy downtown cafes, or pay a visit to the historical quarter, Gamle Stavanger. The closest bus stop is only 150 meters away from the hostel, and buses run to and from the center of Stavanger four to eight times an hour (no. 4 and no. 11). There are good parking facilities in our own paid car park. Nature is never far away here in Stavanger. It's always nice to take a trip to Lysefjorden, Preikestolen or Kjerag. There are many good walks in our immediate vicinity, and we recommend walking round the Mosvannet Lake, Rosenli or in the Valand gardens. Stavanger is a perfect base with easy access to both fjords and mountains.
