We are super lucky to have stayed in some wonderful hotels in the world, but Eilert Smith is absolutely up there with the best. The attention to detail is phenomenal, the staff (all the Hanne’s!) were incredibly warm and kind and our room was heavenly. We were served the most delicious breakfast every morning from the comfort of our suite, which overlooked the harbour of Stavanger. Little things, such as the complimentary mini bar, games for the children in the bedroom, lovely Malin and Goetz toiletries and a brilliantly easy access system to the hotel and room made for a really memorable stay. It was POURING when we left and we would no doubt have been soaked on the way to the airport bus. As a final gesture of kindness and thoughtfulness, Hanne gave us two umbrellas - even though we wouldn’t have been able to give them back. What incredible service! Normally a hotel is just a base for us when we are away for the weekend, somewhere to sleep and rest after exploring, but the gorgeous 12 bedroom Eilert Smith feels like the most perfect sanctuary - so much so that I’d go back to Stavanger just to spend a whole weekend in our lovely home from home! Thank you for having us!
