Beautiful hotel by the sand dunes in Sola in Norway. This hotel, despite being close to the airport, has both history and scenery in its favour. Restaurant and bar, as well as some rooms, overlooking the sea and dunes.

Very happy with the food, location and service. The hotel dates back to 1914 and it shows. Parts of the building material has been recycled: The floor in one of the dining rooms used to be a canon deck on a war ship, the lunch buffet area is the recycled smoking lounge of an 18th century cruise ship.

Sola Strand Hotel has a long standing as a resort and conference hotel just outside Stavanger and it is very close to the airport. It has recently been refurbished and considerably expanded, but much of the old atmosphere prevails. Still, I think is is now too much of a machine with mostly untrained staff and no headwaiter in sight. Many... More

My company has used this hotel several times for business occasion (meetings, courses, planning, etc) and we are very pleased. The personnel are always available, pleasant, and very professional. The atmosphere of the hotel is not more an amazing as it is located on the beach, in addition their lunch and dinners are "top-notch". I give my strongest recommendations!

Nice and spacious room with a great sea view. Relaxed atmosphere. SPA treatment was lovely, but somewhat overpriced in my opinion. Bubbles in swimming pool did not function, and the pool was to cold in my eyes. The toilettes in the main lobby were very smelly...probably plumbing problem, or not cleaned for some time. The big drawback would have to... More

A Beach hotel by the North sea shoul be a contradiction. This hotel was built before people could go on cheap flights to destinations with sea temperatures at least ten degrees C above what the sea outside of the hotel may offer. Said that, the new hotel pool and spa is a good compensation. I have stayed at this hotel... More

The hotel is located on the beach and close to Sola Airport Stavanger. The hotel is an old hotel which have been built in several steps during the years. It is a part of the charm, but the standard from area to area - from room to room varies a lot. I stayed there for 2 nights and the arrangement... More

Located next to the beach, the Sola Strand is also close to the airport, and Stavanger can be reached by bus or taxi in about 25 minutes. The hotel is a sprawling collection of low-level buildings and you may find as I did that your bedroom is quite a walk from the Reception / restaurant / bar area, having to... More
