Great communication with the host. Very nice location, easy to walk to from the bus. Close to the city for shops and tours. Room was warm, spacious and quiet with a lovely view of the harbour. Kitchen was well stocked. Would definitely stay again.

The one bedroom apartment in Stavanger was perfect for what we needed. Located next door to a supermarket, right next to the loveliest shopping district, enough room to have our luggage and not be tripping over everything, laundry facilities on each floor, kitchen was well set up. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was clean and well appointed. It would have been nice to have some salt and pepper provided, but didn't detract from our stay at all. highly recommend.

A great place to stay in central Stavanger.

The apartments are very centrally located that I could walk everywhere in the city from here. It’s close to the fjord, restaurants, cafes and a supermarket just 2 minutes walk away. I would definitely suggest Frogner House Apartments.

Everything was great! My only complaint was checkout was for 11am and I actually had housekeeping enter my room at 9am on their own without me opening the door, which I felt odd bc what if we were indecent? Other than that the actual place was great.

Perfect Vacation Stay

This was my absolute favorite place I've ever stayed and we travel a lot. Every single thing about this place was perfect and I have zero complaints. The view is spectacular. The location is perfect and close to so many shops and restaurants. It is so clean and the layout was perfect for our family of five. Everyone sleptvwell as the beds were very comfortable. We were able to have friends stop by with plenty of room for everyone to sit in the livingroom to visit. We will for sure be back to Stavanger and will be staying at the Sea Story again.

Enjoy stay in apartment house with a little issue.

Sea Story is very close to town, parking, restaurants, shopping and local activities. The rooms is clean. Only problem is that we got lock out from doors, access code wasn't working after we move all luggage in the room. Took a while to communicate with owner, to reset the system. otherwise we were enjoy to stay.

We went to another hotel when We explained what happend to us and booked there! We didnt got any refund back from Sea Side….

Avoid if possible! Very good location and it ends here! Very poor and rude customer service and apartment lacking basic amenities So first of all booked Ocean view apartment and they decided to change it and give me City view apartment, there pretty noisy; it’s sad that Expedia ke giving this option and customer service says it’s upto then who will get it! So basically you pay for something and still they will decide if you get that view or not! Well, that’s where my story don’t end- COLD WATER SHOWER! Yes be ready for that! It’s not central heating or cold water but every apartment has its small little water baloon you n the kitchen and it only have two ppl Capacity at most; with that family of 4, my kids had to take cold (yes freezing cold water) shower as it ran out of warm Water supply after two showers! In my opinion, until they fix this issue, Expedia should not show them in the listing; Upon calling their so called customer service, rude lady on the other side replied we will come when we have time! Is this the way you enjoy your vacation! I would say avoid this listing at any cost( not worth your money or precious vacation time.

Really good location and good communication with the host. Property was clean and had everything we needed. Even with the sofa bed open, there was plenty of space to move around. Check-in and check-out were smooth as it all works with a code, so no need to deal with keys. The only thing is that the staircase smelled a lot like pizza from Dominos, which is right below the apartment.

需要洗冷水澡的hotel

入住當下看到窗外的風景真的是非常滿意，細看後發現沙發使用感很重、不是很乾淨，廁所只有非常小瓶的備品（洗髮沐浴2in1），重點是洗澡途中沒有熱水！退房當日才收到酒店的email，告知使用熱水超過30分鐘就會沒有熱水使用，但當日使用不到30分鐘。 在凌晨一點的遇到按門鈴的惡作劇，使我們兩個女孩非常的害怕！

Sentralt og rent, men ikke veldig spennende

Sentral beliggenhet. Rent, men enkel innredning. Sengen var ikke god. Det ligger en pizzarestaurant i første etasje, og det merkes på lukt. En del trafikkstøy.
