To get the to Stavangers only traditional barbershop you need to find your way to "the colorful…read morestreet" and walk it almost to the end. This barbershop is a bit expensive but it offers so much more than just a shave or a haircut. Here it's all about the overall experience. The theme is manly 50's and the brothers working here are properly dressed and heavily tattooed. What a combo! These guys are popular so you might need to book early or go during working hours. Oh, and don't mind bringing your girlfriend. No girls allowed here!

Though it is 10 minutes from the airport, you are not bothered by excess noises of the planes.

The beach was named one of the best world beaches, however, there was only a few people there at one time. Hotel staffs are very friendly. They even offer hotel bikes for you to ride around town. I love their breakfast buffet. Warm dishes like eggs, bake beans, bacon, sausages and bake tomato. They also offer cold cut and yogurt. Fruit juice smoothie! I had a seafood buffet there one nite and was underwhelmed by the flavor of the seafood. Though they have giant prawns, oyster, clams and crab meat...they were pretty much just steamed and served. I did not want to eat another plate. The room is compact but nice. Some rooms are smaller than the other. The shower in the bathroom has a leveled floor to the bathroom floor so you spill everytime you take a shower. Poor design. Love the spa/pool area. They had a very powerful jet that just relaxed you in the pool. They also give out complimentary salt to rub your skins in the sauna.
