We arrived from England for my aunt's birthday. It was too early to check in as our rooms were being cleaned but were directed to the dining room for tea and coffee, which, given our early start, was welcome with a view over the fish market too. No-one minded us eating our picnic lunch we had brought with us! Our... More

Central and almost perfect location. Friendly and nice reception, and very good breakfast. Large selection of cold and warm. But rooms needs to be furbished. My room, with a perfect view of fish market, was old fashioned and not cosy. Bath room naked and dull. Will probably select another hotel during next visit.

The airport bus stops right in front of the hotel, and it's strategically located, with all attractions within walking distance. We have only booked us for one night, leaving the flexibility for fjord tours, however it is an extended winter and most tours are not open. Little did we know the town was full on with conferences and all the... More

I had a good deal staying here, and was issued a business room on a high floor. As a personal guest of the chain, I had high expectations. First of all, this is an absolutely supreme location in Bergen. It's right at the Fish Market, across from the famous Bryggen. Both airport shuttles stop basically at the door, and so... More

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, having just completed a coastal cruise on Hurtigruten's MS Richard With. We had booked the hotel over the internet, and requested a superior warm room with views over the Bryggen and Fish Market. On arrival, we found our request was fullfilled, and we had a very spacious room on the 5th floor... More

Having read the reviews we were sceptical about our one night stay at the end of a Hurtigruten cruise. Hurtigruten had booked this for us. The stay was very comfortable indeed. The room was spotless and functional. I assume we would have had a different room for a more substantive stay with more storage space but we only needed to... More
